Green Ribbons

Here's my latest creation. I saw a neat bit of detailing on someone's shirt recently and was inspired to try something similar.

 I used green binding and zig-zag ribbon to create this abstract design on a simple floral shirt. Instead of hand-stitching the sides of the binding down so that it lay flat against the shirt (as I did with the zig-zag ribbon), I sewed the binding to the bodice along the centreline fold. That allowed the edges of the binding to stand up out of the shirt creating a sort of ruffle. The end result isn't exactly like what I had envisioned when I set out to do this project but it's still kind of interesting.
