Ribbon Tees

[meagansmomtoo]

Can anyone share some photos and directions for one's they have done?

Are there any no sew ones? I have a machine but I am not that great of a sewer.

Not sure I am in the right area of the forum???

What are they - can you send a link to one you may have seen before?

They are t shirts with ribbons sewn onto/across the chest area and a Mickey head on them. Maybe this link will take you there.

You will have to scroll up to the toward the top to find this.

How comfy are these when they are done? Some shirts when you've done iron-ons and stuff sometimes they are too stiff.

This is one I made last year. My first attempt. I used fusible hem tape first, so it wouldn't move on me, then stitched it down. Her shirt didn't have side seams, so I folded the ribbon under. Used wonder under for the mickey head. And did a close stitch zig zag. I would imagine you could make one as a no sew. Use the fusible web, not too heavy. Otherwise, it might be stiff as someone else suggested. You won't need to fold over the ribbon, I learned that you can seal the ends with fray check or heat (like a match flame). There is fabric paint that you can seal the fabric edges of the Mickey head to the shirt. Oh, btw, the Mickey head is a blown up Disney paint chip.

You could join us at the DisBoutique thread for other ideas.

I make disney customs and sell on ebay/etsy :) Congrats on being crafty :)

I agree with the above poster about the fusable tape and then stitching it down :) Are you making the ribbon shirt with a mickey head or with a bow? if a bow I would suggest doing stiff stuff on it to hold the shape and if a mickey head maybe just do an iron on since you dont really like sewing.

I may try to make some of these. They are too cute.

Can you explain how to use the paint chip?

I used it as a pattern for the Mickey head. I blew it up on a copy machine until I got the size I wanted.
