I sewed these pacifier clips for a baby shower this weekend. I'd noticed solid-color clips in the store while wandering the aisles, and I wanted to include something handmade in my gift. These seemed easier to make than a stroller. 
Here's my little tutorial. You'll need ribbon, suspender clips (available at fabric stores), Fray Check (optional), and velcro.1. Cut a 24" length of ribbon. (This ribbon is 7/8" wide.)
2. Apply Fray Check to each end to prevent unraveling.
3. Fold the ribbon in half, leaving a little extra at one end to fold over the other unfinished end to hide it.
4. Stitch around the edges of the doubled ribbon , trying desperately not to run off the edge. Squeaking "Eeek!" helps a little when you get close. Just a tip.
5. Sew velcro pieces onto the folded end about 2" apart.6. Thread the opposite end through a suspender clip and sew it down.

Hi Jen, Thank you for the tutorial on making these pacifier clips. So easy. I made up 5 pretty fast. What I did different was cut my ribbon little bigger. Right ends together (rights sides facing each other) and sewed small seam. Turned right sides out and folded in half sewing down sides. Saved on using fray check because ends were sewn in when I sewed up sides.
