Typewriters Ribbon by Melody Miller

Retro typewriters with heart stationery adorn this 2" wide jacquard ribbon. It's great for making belts, headbands, cuff bracelets, pet collars and leashes; and for accenting bags, pillows, and quilts. Ribbon adds a nice touch to clothing as well -- on waistbands, along button bands, as a trim for sleeves or cuffs, and along collars and hems. 

Ruby Star Founder and Creative Director Melody Miller is a goal-setter, and unlike most of us, the big, scary, long-term ones are her favorites. “The hardest part is knowing what I want, but once I’m clear, I go for it.” We’re lucky that those goals, once upon a time, pushed her down an entrepreneurial path – one that eventually wound its way toward founding a fabric business.

“I had to advocate for myself starting when I was a kid,” she explains. “My childhood wasn’t easy. If I wanted something, I had to make that happen, and it’s become part of my nature now. I'm just very driven to keep moving forward.” From growing up in the South Carolina Lowcountry and attending Furman University, followed by a time studying industrial design at Pratt Institute in in New York, to a crash course in branding while working at an Atlanta real estate office and endeavors selling curtains and pillows on Etsy, she eventually entered the fabric industry designing for Japanese manufacturer, Kokka.

These ribbons are 100% polyester, washable on a gentle cycle. Please take care to press lightly with medium heat iron, using a pressing sheet to prevent iron from touching ribbon directly.
