I have been looking up tutorials on youtube and google on how to make a cute fabric bow for a while, but I have never been satisfied with the tutorials... so I never attempted to make any of them.
Yesterday while the kids were napping I was checking my google reader and saw THIS amazing tutorial on how to make bows from scraps of fabric.
I spent the majority of nap time experimenting with the different sizes of bows. I did 6 x 12, 4 x 8, 3 x 6 and 2 x 4. The smallest looks really cute in Gabriella's hair when she's wearing pig tails! I'll have to take a picture of her tomorrow and post it later.
Here are the 3 biggest bows I made.
The 6 x 12 bow is large and would be cute on a bag or something. The 3 x 6 is a nice size for wearing in my hair. On the 4 x 8 I tried to sew along the edge to give it a neat look, but I'm still learning how to use the sewing machine, so it's a little scary up close! :) This project did once again reestablish the fact that my husband is still better at using the sewing machine than I am. haha!
I will be making lots more of these bows! I'm so excited that I FINALLY know how to do it!!!
