One thing I really like about the Isabel Marant jacket that I’m basing my current project on is the tubular red trim that outlines some of the other trims. It looks very 3d, and I wanted something similar on my jacket. Mine ended up being narrower and not as puffy, but I think I like it anyway.
I started out with a strip of bias silk and a strip of quilt batting (cotton, I think).
I serged them together
This is what the tube looked like before I turned it. I turned the tube using a safety pin rather than the tube turner in the picture.
