Continuation of the Ribbon Saga

Last night I finally sat down to finish off the 1902 vest. I ran a ribbon around the neck and then started weaving ribbon through the mesh at the front of the bust. I got about halfway through and ran out of the spool of ribbon. So much for thinking I had almost ten meters. I must have used most of the spool for something, though I can't think of what offhand and can't be bothered to look it up.

So the perfect color ribbon that I had wasn't long enough and was too battered. The ribbon I ordered was too vibrantly pink. The ribbon I decided to fall back on was way too short. What's next? I'm seriously thinking I'll just go to JoAnn and get a spool of polyester ribbon. At least I can choose a color in person. It's not like anyone is ever going to see this as a next-to-the-skin garment.
