Ribbon bookmarks

Sometimes little girls sort of grow out of their ribbons and it is time to find new uses for them...that's what got me thinking about what I can do with all the beautiful ribbon we have around our house.

To make, fold ribbons in three so there is a piece that goes about half way down the back. Now, cut a tiny slip just at center-top for the loop to go through; then stitch up the sides. When you are stitching near the loop, you will need to do some reinforcement stitches so that it is sewn in properly. For the back, give a tuck for the hem and stitch across. Knot and voila!
