Ribbon adorned shawl
I loved this idea, especially in the summer time when nightfall always brings a chill. I love the idea of a nice chiffon scarf or shawl (and have about a kazillion myself!), but to add to the idea, this picture is definitely worth 1000 words.
Run to either your crafts storage or your nearest and dearest fabric supply store and purchase a least 2 contrasting ribbons. Then simply pin in place (so as to keep things nice and straight) and with a running stitch, put the ribbon in permanently in place. Sewing time on a machine would probably be 5 to 10 minutes.
Can you imagine making this with different designed ribbons for holiday treats? A black background with wee little ghosties for Halloween? And what a wonderful idea for a holiday throw. And don’t forget that there is little difference between a shawl and a table runner. You could make a two-fer as Christmas gifts. Hum - now my mind is running. I might be making a stopover at the fabric store this weekend.
