How to

Fold the heel, then seize the two ends of the folded heel.

The ribbon must be sewn on the level of the folding between the two heels

Audrey's Tip : To know if the ribbon is well placed, cross the ribbon in front and if on the level of the seam the ribbon is not stuck has the skin, it may be necessary the move it forward a little.

Then, it remains you to really sew the ribbons.
Cross in front, pass behing and pass by again in front, make a knot.
Then pass by again behind and make two knots then cut a very small end of ribbon, I said a very small end ; -).
