During the month of July we are spending a bit of time focusing on the free Lazy Days Skirt<\/a> project. We\u2019ve added a double-thickness hem<\/a>, made the skirt in three stripes<\/a>, and had a round-up<\/a> of different hem details. Now for today let\u2019s go back to the original ribbon hem which calls for 1.5 yards of ribbon in any width greater than 1\/4\u201d. There are several different types of ribbons that would work really well for this kind of hem. I recently sewed up five lazy days skirts each using a different type of ribbon from The Ribbon Jar<\/a>. Julie is the owner of The Ribbon Jar, an online shop where she sells ribbon and trim by the yard. Julie is hosting a generous giveaway, read at the bottom of the post for details.<\/p>\n

At The Ribbon Jar you will find the finest ribbons and trims from around the world (although most of the ribbons come from France and Japan). There\u2019s something for everyone: silk, satin, velvet, grosgrain, Italian, herringbone, and ric-rac.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a gift to give to one of your crafty friends, try one of their jars of ribbon like this beachcomber jar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you want to shop for ribbons and trims by the yard, you can shop by color or by type.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Jacquard<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When choosing ribbons for a Lazy Days Skirt hem, I recommend their grosgrain<\/a>, herringbone<\/a>, Jacquard<\/a>, velvet<\/a>, and Italian cotton ribbons<\/a>.<\/p>\n
