Step 1I gathered up a bunch of different colors and widths of ribbon.
-
Step 2I cut my sweater to a rough size for the toilet paper cozy and hooped it. I didn't back it, I was just careful not to stretch it.
-
Step 3I started with a focal ribbon that had the word "relax" printed on it. (my homage to Frankie Goes to Hollywood)
-
Step 4Here it is from the back with all the ribbons woven in. The directions in Ribbon Embroidery: Simple Stitches for Easy Embellishments were really easy to follow and very clear. It went like a dream.
-
Step 5I then did press a small rectangle of interfacing on the back to secure all the ends.
-
Step 6Well here you have it a Plaid ribbon embroidered toilet paper cozy. In case you're counting that's 4 T.P. cozies I have made. I am already working on another one but it is crocheted so it is taking be a bit of time. I will share it with you as soon as it's done.
