I have decided to use fabric glue as I am only needing to glue the ribbon to create a piping effect on the jacket
Aww thank you so much for your interest it means a lotoohh i saw this thread earlier when you posted and was secretly wondering what route you'd take with attaching ribbon. i was super curious since in the sample image you provided, i think sewing the ribbon on to the blazer would have left visible stitches? this kinda led me down a rabbit hole with wondering how something like this could be achieved if it was sewn on i guess maybe if the thread used was the same colour as the ribbon, you wouldn't really be able to see it from far away. i don't own a sewing machine, but i can do some very basic hand sewing/mending so this was super interesting! i can't wait to see the finished product if you ever feel like sharing it once you're done!
I keep thinking of ways I can do it and the only way I can is to un stitch the jacket to sew the pipping inside to hide the threadI'd look around sewing videos and see if you could find something that would work, or could work with a little altering. I am not sure if a slip stitch is something that would work for you, but you can check it out and see if it could.
Thank you so muchI don't know anything about sewing; I just wanted to say that looks really nice.
Thank you I should have another update later tonight or tomorrowI have no idea who you will be for Halloween, but I am excited to see your progress, and can't wait to see your final costume!
Thank you so much I’ve done a whole lot more too that I’ll try to upload tonightThe blazer looks so good so far! It reminds me of the blazer from Penguindrum!
Update 3:
Yay I have finished the main details on the jacket, all pipping now on and all alterations to custom fit my husband have been completed.
(Please note due to lighting the jacket is dark navy and ribbon is dark wine)

Now the last thing I need to do is iron on the patch and jacket 1 is complete.
Now I need to source a jacket from an Op Shop ( Australian Thrift Store) for myself and start the process for mine.
I ordered 2 patches they are so nice omg

In the meantime while I look for a jacket for myself I need to source the other parts of the costume I will keep dressing the model with the updated parts until the costume is completed.
I have 2 items coming in the mail which might be a week-ish but until then..
Thank you all for reading my thread
Thank you @S.J. I plan to keep updating this thread with the final costume completedOh my gosh, I didn’t realise it from just the blazer, but you’re going as someone from Umbrella Academy! That patch is really nice! I can’t wait to see the blazers with the patches on! Hopefully you’ll share the finished costume too!
Thank you @S.J. I plan to keep updating this thread with the final costume completed
