Breast cancer awareness ribbons

[EeDeeBird]

I was thinking next month is breast cancer awareness month and I got to thinking about the women who have been in my life who had passed because of this horrible disease and I thought it would be a sweet gesture to make one for the women in my family.

The pattern is super simple just make the chain any length you want and for the wide ribbon use HDC stitch for one row and thats it fold it and sew on a safety pin on the back that will also secure the ribbon from unwinding. Here is the pic of the first one I made.

Remember these can be dressed up by sequins, beads or even the initials of someone special that has passed on.

Very nice, EeDeeBird. Most have been touched in someway. I agree, making your ribbons for the women in your life would make a very sweet gesture. Thank you for sharing.

very good idea. I work with 2 women, 1 who had, and 1 who has breast cancer.
