Bow Pretty

I suppose I can't hide my love of bows. Not that I was trying. But here is my second post featuring bows. What delightful creations. Perfectly girly and pretty.

I found a tutorial for fabric bows here. There are probably hundreds of them out there in Googleland, but this is the one my cursor landed on and the instructions were easy to follow. There are other, faster tutorials with the use of a sewing machine, but I like the satisfaction of hand sewing sometimes. So organic. I made my bows a bit bigger. For the starting piece of fabric, one was 9.5" by 4.5", and the other, 8.5" by 3", approximately. If you haven't noticed, I like to improvise.

Inspirations to make the most of your bows: hair clips, bow ties, belt accents (as pictured below), pin to a shirt, dress, or shoes, add to a necklace, decorate a journal, a purse, or a wallet. Bows are quite versatile. Add anywhere to give an extra level of cuteness!

Happy bow making!

Bows, Bows, Bows

New rule to live by: You can never have too many bows. 

It's amazing that a piece of nothing can become something so cute when tied in the right way. Sigh. I wonder who discovered the bow? Or is it something we've always known to do? Such a practical idea turned into a classic staple. I love it!

I also love this idea for shoe clips (floral bow. dream.). Bows anytime, on any shoe!

And this bow for your hair with a bow pattern? Yes please. 

Oh and these collars with the vintage bow pins. So pretty! I'm proud to say these are made exclusively by the woman I intern for. Sweet Evie. Check out more designs here.

I need to stop finding bow items before this blog becomes a list days long, so one last thing: this adorable swimsuit/bandeau set. 

P.s. Here's my new project for the week. Maybe I'll add a bow to the waist!
