Supplies Needed

Fabric Scraps.

Sewing Notions.

 

The bow can be made in three sizes.

Large Bow- 6L x 3W

Medium Bow- 4L x 2W

Small Bow- 2L x 1W

• Here “L” is the length and “W” is the width of the bow.

 

You will need to cut just two pieces; the larger one for the bow and the smaller one for the centerpiece.

For the centerpiece, you will need a fabric piece, 3.5 inches long and 2.25 inches wide.

The measurements for the larger piece for the three sizes are given below:

 

Large bow:

12.75 inches long x 6.75 inches wide.

Medium Bow:

8.75 inches long x 4.75 inches wide.

Small  Bow:

4.75 inches long x 2.75 inches wide.

 

Cut your fabric pieces.

 

 

Take the larger piece and fold it in half lengthwise, with the right sides together. Sew it shut along the longer side, as marked.

 

 

Turn the right side – out and realign the piece such that the seam comes along the center. Press to make it neat and crisp.

 

 

Fold it in half widthwise and sew it shut along the raw edges.

 

 

Turn the right side out.

 

 

Pinch the center of the bow with your hands, to make three neat gathers and put a pin to hold the gathers.

Next, we make the centerpiece.

 

 

Take the fabric for the centerpiece and fold its two longer edges towards the wrong side by ½ inch and press.

 

 

Fold it in half lengthwise and press again.

 

 

Sew it shut along the edge of the folds.

 

 

Next, wrap the centerpiece around the center of the bow and secure by hand sewing or a hot glue gun.

 

 

Your bow is ready!

 

 

So come on, what are you waiting for? Make them in different colors, in different sizes and add them to almost all your little things like clips, hairbands, bags, dresses, and more!
