Project Overview

Petersham ribbon is a classic choice for trimming brimmed hats. You can use it to make a simple curved hatband, a timeless bow ensemble or a custom embroidered trim. Pleating Petersham is a great way to add an extra dimension to your ribbonwork.

In this tutorial, Martine from Martine Henry Millinery explains how to turn a simple length of ribbon into a beautiful pleated hatband. You will be using 1½” wide Petersham ribbon and will be making repeating sets of 4 pleats.
