Favor Sash

[Yrose]

Ok, it's time for me to make us favor sashes. I would greatly appreciate any help. What type of material and size. I do have some black twill I am considering. I'm wanting opinions on sizes, maybe 12x5? Let me know what all you great seamstresses have made before.

Been wondering lately, too!

I found a wonderful solution to this...

TABLE RUNNERS!!  I picked up a lovely table runner at KMart at Christmas time, folded it over to give it enough body to hold pins properly.  It is pretty, functional, and most importantly washable.

You're an evil genius.

My current favor sash is also a black twill about 12 x 5. It has a wide fold-over belt loop on top. I sewed a deep pocket on the back. Great place to keep your lipstick, plastic comb, pygmy marmoset, pre-packaged hand wipes, etc...

I like the pocket idea. Is the twill stiff enough for you?

Twill is just fine. I don't put heavy items like keys or coins in it. The sash was made with two long layers so the pocket folded up from the bottom with all seams on the inside. I guess you could line the entire sash with canvas duck cloth to make it stronger.

Mine is made of leather.  The top is tooled leather that fits over the belt and then the sash itself is a light garment leather that holds the pins really well.

Wow, hadn't though of leather, that would be nice.....

Please excuse my ignorance, but, what is a favor sash? I don't think I've ever seen one!  Could someone post a picture? Gramercy!

A favor sash is a way to display your favors, pins, etc...  A favor is a small token that people make at faire and then give to people.  I also put my pins from the various groups I belong to on it as well such as my R/F, RenVet, M'Crack, Royal Order of the Landsharks and others on there.

You can see my sash in this picture.  Steve is wearing his, but it's under his vest.
