rosemarie... i've not tried with ribbon as yet, but i mentioned using elastic.

and example would be on a bunny-suit/growsuit. at the back where the button-up to the neckline is on one side i'd anchor the elastic (sewing the end in place), then through a tiny-tiny hole that i've cut in the neck-line i thread the elastic round the neck back out another tiny-tiny hole on the other side of the button-up area and stitch in place to the appropriate gathered amount. this way the suit will still un-button the same way for the baby to be dressed and undressed. In my photo post "help me pick" in the showcase, the bunny-suit that my Emma is wearing in the first lot of pic's, i've used this method as the neck-line on this suit was huge.

I'll post links to a pic example of me doing this the next time i am gathering in a neckline. In the mean time i hope this explaination helps some.

Nai Nai , I missed this post, but that is how I do the ribbon as well, but you don,t have to sew it. You can pull enough through to be able to try it, then tuck it in under the backs of little dresses or jumpsuits, if it,s a front opening you canleave it onthe outside. With the singlets, some of them have elastic wit tiny little holes,I go in and out every third or fourth hole. If it is a folded neckline, I use the large needle back the fron so I don,t cut the fabric and tye it at the front also. Hope this helps, I haven,t been able to post any pics because my file has gone walk about in the computer. Hope this helps.June M from Oz.

Good luck, it,s quite easy once you,ve done the first and doesn,t take too much time. Commented on your avator baby, just checked and his name is Charles. Lovely.June M from Oz
