Tissue paper or fusible paper underneath and hem with a fancy scallop stitch, with no turning, which you then cut away afterwards to mimic the scalloped hemline at the base. http://mellysews.com/2014/02/sew-lace.html<br />I also read to make sure to wash lace as it often has stiffening, but maybe that will help when you're sewing it. I don't think a kimono will have issues if the fabric drapes a little more after washing. <br />Can't wait to see what you choose! xo Jazzy Jack <br /><br />Jazzy Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082508866581606775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4902259721371258531.post-79338812740204175012015-04-09T02:02:03.789-07:002015-04-09T02:02:03.789-07:00I'd be inclined to try a baby, or rolled hem -...I'd be inclined to try a baby, or rolled hem - can you practise first on your scrap cut from the neck? Failing that, how about just leaving it. It presumably won't fray, and if the raw edges bother you, you could trim them to the nearest scallop, to kind of emulate the scalloped hem. Really pretty top!

(sewn flat onto the lace, flush with the edge) If the ribbon was very supple, the result shouldn't be too stiff. I'm picturing the kind of ribbon you would find in a hand knitted baby outfit, you know? jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.com
