hair bow

I saw this cute hair bow idea on pinterest and decided to make my own. I followed a tutorial and found the shape bulky in the centre, so I decided to change the pattern and make my own to share with you. I have photographed the three main stages below and you can see the end result, once tied, above. At the bottom of this post is a printable instruction sheet including the template to make your own.

bow-tiful bag...

 

to make this bag i used a cotton canvas material in two coordinating fabric prints and a simple cream cotton lining.  I used a Debbie shore pattern from the high style handbags project cd. the bumper bow bag is quite simple to make, however I did need to make a few changes to the pattern. I have listed these below for reference. I think if you are a bit more skilled, this bag would benefit from a magnetic clasp or maybe a inside pocket.

 

• bumper bow bag handle- cut 2 outer fabric (only says 1 on pattern)
• bumper bow bag bow: cut 1 outer fabric...this piece needs to be thinner, take about 1cm of the width
