Crafty Ribbons-No Design Paper

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good morning everyone, how are you doing? I am here this morning with my DT piece for our 'No Design paper' challenge at Crafty Ribbons Challenge. I started with a plain tea towel which I wanted to alter to make it a little prettier! This is not the easiest project-you cant pin the ribbon before you put it in the sewing machine so I was holding the ribbon and tea towel as they ran through the machine slowly to keep them on a straight line. Im really pleased with how they came out! 
I used Chocolate ribbons found here :-)

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Challenges 4 Everybody: Anything Goes
That Craft Place: Alter it
Our Creative Corner: Anything Goes
Inspire Me Fridays: Anything Goes
Divas By Design: Anything Goes
Inklings and Yarns: Anything Goes
Whimsical Designs: Alter it
Everybody Art Challenge: Fabric

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments! :-)

    A fabulous idea and love the ribbons. I really envy people who can sew. I can't sew to save my life, especially a sewing machine.
