Here's another great little snippet* from my sewing room to yours...
Supplies:
60" Tape Measure
2 yards of 1/2" to 5/8" Ribbon (sweet!)
1/2 yard 1/8" to 1/4" Ribbon for tie
(Helpful) Edge-Joining Foot for your sewing machine (with center guide)
Featuring The Simple Life designer grosgrain ribbon from Riley Blake Designs |
Step 1: Remove metal end brackets if possible.
Step 2: If using an edge-joining foot, adjust needle position
to the left about 1/8" from the center guide.
Stitch ribbon to side of tape measure least often used.
If brackets cannot be removed, simply fold the ribbon end under
at the edge of the metal bracket and begin top-stitching.
Step 3: Trim ribbon even with tape measure,
then clamp metal end bracket back into place.
If bracket has not been removed, trim ribbon with a bit extra
to fold the edge under at the edge of the metal bracket; top stitch.
Step 4: Center and stitch small ribbon to the end of the tape measure.
Step 5: Wind up tape measure, wrap around with the small ribbon and tie with a bow.
Just the perfect addition to your sewing kit, or as a quick gift for a friend!
