someone recently posted pictures of a sewing room that had shelf with dowels for all the spools of ribbon, I want to build something like that in my new place-do you remember where it was?- I checked the post of recent sewing rooms, but didn't see it.

I remember seeing that one too. That is a cool idea. Hope that you can find it again.

I think it at www.sewmanyways.com

My DH made me a ribbon holder a couple yrs ago he just took a piece of oak and drilled 2 holes 1/2 thru the oak ( routed around the edges of course) and wood glued 2 dowel rods into the holes.

Routed for smooth edges, no splinters!

no, checked so many ways, not there. Thanks,though.

If you would like I can post a pic of mine tomorrow and see if it anything like you are looking for?
If so pm me.

I know you checked so many ways, but try these pictures. Scroll half way down the page and you will see dowel ribbon holders.
