How to Make Fabric Bows
If you’re still a starter sewer, a big project can be daunting. Start small with this trick to sewing a pretty bow.
We love the simplicity of this make – perfect for using up fabric scraps. Once you’ve made your bow, you can glue it on to a hair clip, or thread a strip of fabric (or elastic) through the back to make a hairband.
Bows are a quick, fun way to re-style clothes. Have a play, and see what works!
Make a super big bow, and create a statement waist.
Slash a stretch top down the back – and create a ladder of bows!
If you don’t fancy sewing a bow, you can ‘cheat’ – and tie one from ribbon! Stitch a couple on to an old tee to create a dramatic new look.
Channel your inner rock chick, and create bows from old fabric scraps.
