Ribbon Pillow
Ribbons can be used to make a woven-look pillow or sachet. Cut a piece of backing fabric to the desired size. Next, cut equal lengths of ribbon to fit across the width of the pillow. Place the ribbons side by side on the fabric and pin each end to the backing. Cut lengths of ribbon to weave in and out lengthwise across the pillow. Pin ribbons in place and machine stitch the raw ribbon ends around the pillow top. Cut a piece of pretty satin or velvet for the back and with right sides facing and raw edges aligned, stitch around three sides and four corners. Turn the pillow right side out and stuff. Slip stitch the opening closed.
