Renaissance Ribbons makes the most beautiful ribbons. Period! Their ribbons make everything prettier! They collaborate with fabric designers, which makes coordinating projects easy as pie. Among their designers are Amy Butler, Tula Pink, Dena Designs, Anna Maria Horner, Sue Spargo, and my personal favorite, Bonnie Christine! Renaissance Ribbons has lots of free project ideas on their website, including a pretty Pull Out Box made from Bonnie's ribbon collection.

I thought I’d share a little inspiration that might whet your appetite to grab up a little bit of this silkiness and beautify your next project! We’ll begin with my newest, favorite project (which is always what I’ve just finished making)! Seriously, this is a very sweet wallet, the Diva Frame Wallet from Jessica VanDenburgh of Sew Many Creations. She also markets the hardware, which was surprisingly easy to work with. You’ll find both items on my shopping page. This wallet, made from Bonnie Christine’s fabric, is trimmed in one of her ribbons. She currently has 11 ribbons that coordinate with all of her fabric lines. By the way, Bonnie and I are counterparts today; she's posting about ribbon today, too! (The wallet below: a surprise for Bonnie!)

Think she'll like it?

Here are a few more ideas, and a delightful book by Elaine Schmidt, overflowing with captivating ribbon projects. You can download our pattern for The Perfect Whatever Bag, pictured below, free! What would you like to do with beautiful ribbon?
