Grosgrain & Velvet Ribbons



Making tiebacks for white linen drapes. I couldn't decide in the shop which would be the right colour ...now home and it's definitely the teal velvet. This is the widest I could find so I'll sew 2 pieces together side-by-side. All from the magnificent RIX RAX a notions shop on Gilford at St-Hubert (hard to miss with a giant button hanging above the front entrance). They specialize in vintage buttons -far and away the best source I know of, and all organized by colour. They have a fairly good selection of grosgrain too.

Hallowe'en is upon us. I'm dressing up as a Jesuit priest -got an old black cassock choir robe that'll do and a crumbly leather-bound bible. Alice'll be Alice Cooper.
