Butterfly inspired bow tie

As the title suggest, this project is inspired by a butterfly that gave me a shock while I was walking home. It flew in front of me out of no where. I've used remaining fabric that I had from a project that I did recently which I will share on my blog once I finished hemming it. :)

Tada! The finished product

 

 

I notice when the French barrette are being attached to the bow, a gap would be visible at the side.

To counter the problem, I sewed a few stitches to secure the bow to the French barrette

After stitching the gap is closed.

I've wrap the ribbon over the French barrette as an extra precaution.

 

Pink Ribbon bow hair tie

I always wanted to own a ribbon bow hair tie, however I couldn't find the type that I like. After getting inspiration from Youtube I decided to make one instead. I am pleased with the result. I've burnt the ends of the ribbon so as to prevent it from fraying.

 

 

 

Bow tie with elastic band

This is my first attempt doing bow tie using fabric and lace. This bow tie I made it specially for my sis-in-law. For this bow I used 2 different type of fabric namely, a dark brown felt texture fabric and a coarse fabric.

I've added a beige lace in the middle, as my sis-in-law is someone who fond of lace stuff.

I was worried the glue I used may not be strong enough to hole the bow so I added some stitch at the back.

 

Does this bow design suit your liking too?
