Mahoro Posted February 10, 2012 After looking at Haruka's Dolpa School uniform, I am reminded of the one thing thats stopping me from trying to make one myself. And thats: how do you do those white stripes? The part that is on the blue collar portion and sometimes the sleeve cuffs. Also sometimes on the skirt I haven't the foggiest idea how I'd go about trying to make that detail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AerisAquata Posted February 10, 2012 Thin ribbon. Very thin ribbon sewn onto the fabric. Or you could use fabric paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mahoro Posted February 10, 2012 hmm, I had thought of using thin ribbon, but how would you attach it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
milkytea Posted February 10, 2012 Usually the ribbon is attached with very small stitches using thread that matches the ribbon, so it doesn't stand out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jadepixel Posted February 11, 2012 You can also attach ribbon with fabric glue, but be careful not to smudge the glue around. Just apply a bit at a time with a toothpick and give plenty of time to dry. jadepixel doll lab jadepixel eye shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamcore Posted February 12, 2012 You can applique it using those iron-on applique adhesives. I've heard pretty good things about them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lala Lolita Posted March 5, 2012 I second the ribbon! And just go slowly through it with a machine, or, if you're feeling scared, your hands. Or white fabric, folded over, ironed (so no raw edges show), and sewn the same way. @blushingbjd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
