Hi YouTube: this is what the completed base looks like after we've sewn it together. So let's get started. I have created a simple template on a piece of paper and now in pinning the lace at the top and the bottom of the paper. Please remember your lace. Alignment, while you're doing this, to pin your ribbon fold the raw edge down and send the ribbon following the pattern to the lace, but not the paper when that's complete, just unpinned the lace from the paper and get ready to sew using a single straight stitch. I sew all around the four sides of the ribbon, so the four sides are the top that inside the top of the other side and then the outside, while sewing, I carefully remove the pins as I go along did you know. I have a one-on-one class where you can't learn how to do this yourself. I cook I currently offer WebEx as well as in-person. If you're in the San Diego area, you can check out details about my 101 classes on my website. After I'm all completed with sewing the ribbon onto the closure, I just cut the access lace from the outside perimeter of the closure and there's the completed base to ventilate. I start in the center back of the closure, as you can see at one minute, I'm ventilating one strand in each hole and I'm going to ventilate this across the entire bat up for about a half an inch, and this is to ensure that any wedding is Completely covered once I get to the corner, I am going to ventilate in a diagonal, and this is just to make sure that the corner is well covered and I'm going to connect each side to the corner. So I'm ventilating one strand in every hole. Still in a diagonal into this corner, as you can see, there is a curvature to connect one side to the other to complete the closure. I just continue to cover the sides in the same manner and then ventilate straight back in the center until the closure is complete by the way this closure is available for purchase on my website. All links will be listed below thanks for watching bye-bye
