Help sourcing grosgrain

**Steepdiver** · 09-19-2018, 22:29

Hay all, I am hopping that some of you long time guys can help me find what I am looking for.

I am making a 9ft hammock for my 7yr old daughter, for backpacking next summer, and she has requested that I trim it in pink grosgrain. However I am having a hard time finding it, or at least something I know will be a good fabric and not floral ribbon. Could some of you maybe advise me on a place to get it for her?

Any advice is helpful, and thanks in advance.

I trimmed a hex tarp with orange grosgrain tape sourced through Amazon. Offray brand is what was used and it comes in lots of colors. May not be as robust as mil spec grosgrain but will probably last as long as she requires pink.

I've been able to find unique colors of grosgrain ribbon at JoAnne's Fabrics and also Hobby Lobby.

Walmart has a large section of 1" Offray Grosgrain.

They even have pink. At this time of year, you can also find grosgrain with pumpkins and spiders, etc.
