To keep the bow all shiny up you just need to do the Martha special bow where you tie two loops together (otherwise you end up with one shiny out and one shiny inside the loop) I have never heard of fairy ribbon. There are tons of patterned ribbons out there that might be worth a try. You should check a fabric store like JoAnns that sells by the yard and bring one of the ribbons that came with your shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sewers-crafters-ribbon-questions#post-494536 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:38:34 +0000 Mo 494536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking a stab at it for me . . . I do have several color grosgrains already included. I was just dreaming of other textures </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sewers-crafters-ribbon-questions#post-494529 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:30:05 +0000 lyn* 494529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Mochi is right as well re: single-face.</p> <p>Like alaskagirl is suggesting, I currently use grosgrain for shoelaces on my Doc Martens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sewers-crafters-ribbon-questions#post-494527 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:29:14 +0000 catgirl 494527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Mochi is right, and I THINK fairy ribbon is like that sheer silky ribbon used for princess and fairy costumes. I'd search for grosgrain specifically if I were you - that will be the best bet for what you need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sewers-crafters-ribbon-questions#post-494523 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:25:20 +0000 Mochi 494523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no idea what fairy ribbon is, and I'm going to GUESS what single-face is. I suspect it means that the ribbon has a front and back, rather than both sides being equally glossy or textured however way it is. It's kind of the way some scarves only have the full pattern on one side. Someone back me up?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sewers-crafters-ribbon-questions#post-494521 Sat, 24 Dec 2011 20:21:01 +0000 Mo 494521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am shopping for ribbons for my Mohops and don't understand these terms! What is single face? <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-8-RED-single-face-Silk-Soft-SATIN-ribbon-6-YARDS-/140643690097?pt=Ribbons_Bows&#038;hash=item20bf046671" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-8-RE.....20bf046671</a> and what is fairy ribbon? <a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/380395845452?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&#038;_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/380395.....1423.l2648</a> Are either one durable enough to use for shoe strings? Thanks! </p>
