The world's finest woven edge Petersham ribbon. 100% Rayon, washable, dry cleanable, colorfast, less than 10% shrinkage.

Be sure to preshrink where necessary before use with steam or by spritzing with water and pressing with iron set for rayon.

Your petersham ribbon is awesome and so is the Sewing Place
The petersham ribbon is so beautiful and the Sewing Place is so very considerate. When I ordered the ribbon they gave me a discount which was really generous. Again, the ribbon is beautiful. Please note that #8 is a true red with some yellow in it. It is not orange by any means but it is not a Christmas red. No problem with that, just some red clarification as all of our computer screens display color differently. If you need to be sure on your color, order a colorcard :)

Petersham Ribbon
This is GREAT petersham! Used the 3/8” to shape the inside neck edge of a boucle jacket, and the 1/4” for trim. Shapes very nicely and great weight!

This ribbon is wonderful. It comes in a wide selection of colors and widths, is beautifully made (no hanging threads with this product), and has a lovely sheen. It washes well, is easy to sew and very pliable. Highly recommended.

Petersham Ribbon - Sand Dollar
I was struggling to find the exact color for my daughters wedding and had ordered ribbon from another site that was not the same color as the website. The ribbon color on Petersham Ribbon was accurate based on the web image, and the product came in a timely manner.

The ribbon was advertised as perfect for wedding apparel. I purchased this ribbon for a flower girl dress I'm making for my 3 yr old granddaughter. I am hoping it will go well with natural Swiss cotton Nelona as a sash. The narrower ribbon will be used thru beading insertion applied to the bodice. Cannot comment on construction as I haven't started yet.
