Stretch fabric wrist key holder7/10/2023 ![]() ![]() I changed my thread color so it matched the ribbon and was less noticeable. Pin in place and sew the top and bottom of the ribbon. Tuck both ends of the ribbon to the inside of the key chain. Take the ribbon and wrap it around the area where the two ends have been sewn together. Do this very carefully! Move the purse clip around the key chain until the seam is about 1/4 to 1/2 an inch above the clip. Take your strip of 4 inch ribbon and burn the edges with a lighter or a match to seal it so they do not unravel. Sew these together using a zig-zag stitch several times back and forth so that it does not come apart. Place the two raw edges so that one is overlapping the other one about 1/4 of an inch (or to the fusible interfacing). Be sure that the clip is on top of the material you want to be on the outside of your key chain. Now, take your purse clip and slide it onto the key chain. I sewed mine fairly close to the edge which was about an 1/8 inch seam. Now sew along both edges of the key chain. This will temporarily fuse the top and bottom materials together so they are easier to sew, and will make your key chain a little sturdier. I make sure the folds of each ironed fabric are on opposite sides. Take your strip of fusible interfacing and place it evenly between your two coordinating fabrics. When both fabrics have been ironed, fold the material in half length-wise and iron. I use a peice of cardstock paper to fold the material over to give me a nice even hem line. Iron both strips of coordinating fabrics a 1/4 of an inch down both sides with the right-side of the fabric facedown on your ironing board. Cut 1 strip of your fusible interfacing to measure 1 inch by 10.5 inches.
