  2. what a great giveaway!
    I love the chenille dot ribbon - it would be great for trimming bags and purses

  3. I like the nude neutrals or maybe the nude chenille dot for an ivory/cream/beige bib necklace I'm working on. Ribbons make great ties for necklaces, and this would add such cute variety!
    I also like the velvet corduroy for a clutch or fun wallet.

  4. You know they are all very lovely! However I think my favourite might be Marshmallow Violet. Thanks for the giveaway.

  5. What a great giveaway! I'd have to say I love the dotty ribbons best, cant beat polka dots! I've always fancied trying using ribbon as sashing on a very simple quilt...

  6. It's pretty hard to choose just one, but at the moment I'm feeling that turquoise grosgrain scalloped edge ribbon. I'd like to make a cute little red and turquoise bag trimmed/accented with it.

    ReplyDelete
  7. I would have to have 'love and hearts' to use as a 'zip pull' on my sock knitting kits. http://judiknitsandsews.blogspot.com/2011/03/busy-day-sewing.html

  8. Turquoise chenille fat dot - it's so lovely I would feel the urge to trim everything, starting with cushions, then moving on to my children!!

    What a fantastic competition - thank you for the opportunity!

  9. Loving your site, the beautiful material and ribbon. My favourite ribbon is the turquoise fairy cake ribbon and I would love to make a new apron trimmed in that ribbon as a first project with my newly serviced sewing machine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed as I am addicted to ribbon as you can see http://christeaandcakes.blogspot.com/2011/02/ribbon-is-gonna-get-you.html

  21. Can I like two? I love the American Crafts 'Create' ribbon as its perfect for the craft folio I just made for my toddler daughter. And the 'Tiny Heart Big Love' in hot pink is perfect in name and nature for the same toddler daughter! So cute in her little piggy tails.... Anyway, need to order some of the aforementioned in my next stash enhancer order...love Seamstar forever!

  25. awesome competition and far far too many gorgeous ribbons to choose a favourite, but I'm going to pick the ivory coloured crochet trim for it's beauty and old-fashioned class.
    I would use it as a trim on a lovely lacy ivory knitted cardigan for some old-style glam. (but don't hold me to that cos I'm forever changing my mind on what to knit!)

    ReplyDelete
  26. I'd use the Black Twill ribbon to upcycle an old frame I have lying around looking sad. Wrap it round and round and, voila, a funky new frame for a photo of my handsome, soon-to-go-away-on-a-6-month-tour husband!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Love quite a few ribbons but the Solid Stitched Centre Ribbon is my favourite. Seems to be a bit quirky, bit French, bit vintage. Orange black is my favourite colour. Perfect

    ReplyDelete
  28. What a fabulous giveaway! My fave is the big dot in shocking pink. With all these scrummy ribbons, I would be spoiled for choice but I would start with creating some orgeous hair bows and hair accessories.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Great site, have to love the velvet corduroy ribbon! Would have to trim a quilt with it - it would give a lovely soft feel!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh my god! What a fantastic giveaway! Please, please, pick me!!!
    I especially love the twill ribbon - I'm sure it would look great on handbags.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I would choose the velvet cord ribbon to decorate bookmarks that I then send to my favourite rabbit charity for them to sell to raise funds for the special care bunnies.

    ReplyDelete
  32. It would have to be the gorgeous floral felt ribbon - all colours! I'm covering an old lampshade right now with patchwork and they would finish it off perfectly!

    ReplyDelete
  33. What a fantastic giveaway! Please, pick me!

  38. They're all so beautiful, but the one I'm really drawn to is the pale blue floral felt. I have a white pillowcase with blue embroidered flowers, which I'm going to make into a pillowcase dress for my daughter. That ribbon is the perfect trim for it.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh my goodness, I didn't realise quite how much gorgeous ribbon you had! So hard to choose which I love the most, but I am smitten with the floral felt ribbon in light blue - I've never seen anything like it! I think I would incorporate it into a sweet summer top.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Wow, what a giveaway! I just love the floral felt ribbon, and would use it to decorate my new black felt hat!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I love the red, white and blue ribbon. I would use it on a cushion for my little boys' first birthday

    ReplyDelete
  42. i like the love in hot pink ribbon, it would be great for making hairbands for my daughter, she loves all things pink! @ashlallan

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh my goodness what I couldn't do with all those lovely ribbons! My favourite is the Rosette one in red and I would use it to trim my daughters big pants that's she's wearing for a "sequin and fur" party she has next week. it would go so well with the sequins i'm adding to these rest of the pants!!

    ReplyDelete
  44. What a cool giveaway! I'm loving the red-white-and-blue ribbon. Would be perfect to make some cute little ornaments for the Royal Wedding! :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. What a great giveaway. My favourite ribbons have got to be the nude neutrals they look so lovely all together. My mind is racing with all the ideas I could use them for!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I love the Floral Felt ribbon.
    What would I use it for? Well .... I am organising a Flower Festival at my Church this coming May. Never done this before, so it is MEGA scary!

    I would use it to decorate displays and use as edging for flower displays.

    Thanks for such a generous give away. As my Church doesn't have a lot of spare cash, I would so love to win this to use at the Flower Festival :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. This was a tough decision - crocheted lace or velvet corduroy... The velvet corduroy won in the end as those colours are just yummy & perfect for trim on a skirt for my daughter :)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh my goodness, what a generous giveaway! Thanks so much for letting us enter this comp.
    I love both the Floral Felt Ribbon and the Crochet Trim. They're great for edging on kids clothes, smartening up clothes for grown ups and adding a special touch to handmade fabric purses and bags.

    ReplyDelete
  49. what a fantastic giveaway! So many projects to use them on, infact, I think if I was lucky enough to win Id just add ribbon to EVERYTHING, just because I could hehe!

  50. I like the American Crafts Tree one. I'd use it for my twirly skirts!

  51. My favourite has to be the gosgrain scalloped edge in apricot. I'm current kitting out my son's nursery in oranges and green and am sure I'd make good use of this in there.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I love the good old simple red, white and blue ribbon. We've just moved into a house that has seen better days. It's going to take a good few years to get around to the bedroom of my 2 toddler sons so I'd love to make them some cool cushions and bunting to help brighten up their dreary room. Patriotic or nautical feel..................hmmmmmm, this ribbon would be perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Love all your ribbons - what a dream competition! Think my favourite is the turquoise cupcake ribbon - I would use it to make some pretty bunting!

    ReplyDelete
  54. My favourite is the Floral Felt Ribbon Trim in Yellow. I would use it to simply look at and cheer myself up!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I love all the ribbons. I'm torn between what I would choose to do first. I want to make a statement to decorate my dull dining room wall and so one plan would be to cover a plywood board with hessian then criss cross it with Floral Felt Ribbon Trim in brown [R/1179]. I would also use a variety of ribbons to trim hearts to hang on the chair backs at my daughter's wedding reception in August. Guests will be able to take the hearts as souvenirs of a great day.

  60. I love the American Crafts Robot ribbon... it would inspire me to create something for my 13 month old boy for once as his twin sister keeps getting all my creations!

  66. I love the purple velvet corduroy - it is so decadent. And, I was told by my boss last week that 'I own purple' having a very purple heavy wardrobe!

    ReplyDelete

  69. I love the Floral Felt Trim Ribbon, especially in light blue. (http://www.seamstar.co.uk/floral-felt-ribbon-trim-light-blue-p-1866.html) I would use it around the bottom edge of a pretty summer skirt.

    ReplyDelete
  70. i love the rosette trim in all its wonderful colours.lindsey

    ReplyDelete
  71. Wah! Too many pretty ribbons to choose just one! If I had to, though, I'd pick the turquoise scalloped edge grosgrain, and use it with fresh white linen for a sweet little girl's summer dress. Or just stroke it. Probably the latter.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I thought I'd entered this giveaway.... but I can't see myself :( so here I go again, I really love the floral felt ribbon, although I do love lots and lots of them, so it is hard to choose.
    Sue :)

  73. My comments has disapeared too!
