: That's the best Federation I've seen yet. That's some real nice bashin' ya did there and your front dents look nice and deep,

:that's a new ribbon? Is it 1½" wide and did you create the bow yourself?

I basically printed out all the pics that MK had on a website and studied the f**ck outta 'em. Knew the pinch needed to be real tight.
Just steamed it and kept working it.

The ribon is just plain ol 1 1/2" black grosgrain from my local fabric store. I think I really want to replace it now because its kinda shiny and my understanding is that true petersham ribbon is NOT shiny.

The bow I must admit came out pretty good. Again, I worked at it. Trial and error until I got what I liked. And I discovered some great stuff my mother-in-law swears by called Stitch Witch. And iron on type of bonding strip. Real light weight. The ribbon and Bow are all bonded together which gives it that one piece, tight look.
