Instructions:
1. Cut pieces of ribbon to fit jacket. Allow 1/2" on each cut edge to turn under. Remove the wire from both edges of the ribbon. This is easily done by pulling on an exposed end of the wire.
2. To emboss the velvet: Lightly mist the wrong side of the velvet ribbon. Place the stamp image rubber side up on your work surface or ironing board. Lay the ribbon right side down against the stamp image. Now press the iron (set on high or cotton) to the fabric and press down. Count to twenty and lift iron up carefully. If there is any dampness press again, but never touch or move fabric. Hold the iron over the entire stamp surface and avoid letting the steam holes hit the design areas. They will make an impression as well. To avoid this you can place a press cloth or even tin foil or paper where steam holes might interfere with the design.
3. Pin ribbon to jacket as desired. Stitch close to the edges, turning raw edges under 1/2". |
