I started out pinning loops of grosgrain ribbon to the fabric, the folds pointing inward, but the fabric was puckering and I didn’t think the ribbons would stay straight when I was sewing up the side.
So I broke out the painters tape and it worked awesome. I was careful to use ribbons that weren’t too narrow, and I made my tags short so they wouldn’t get wrapped around little fingers. I also avoided using painted ribbons; babies shouldn’t eat paint!
Because my robot fabric was white, the red fabric was showing through a bit, so I sandwiched a piece of off-white cotton between the red and the robots. In the end, it made the white whiter and the brights brighter. It also gave it some extra heft.
p.s. The fabric I used was Beep Bots in Multi by Hoffman Fabrics.

Thanks, Laura! I hope my nephew likes it. Elise was never into that type of thing.

My son was given a blanket, burp cloth, and bib gift set in this robot fabric. I’m looking everywhere online to find some to order. Can you tell me where you bought it? Thank you!
