About this Product
Soft and sweet was the inspiration that prompted me to choose this cotton fabric to create the apricot swirl ponytail hair bow. The subdued white swirls on the mellow apricot fabric offer that perfect finishing touch to your ponytail hairdo. There is a G-clef charm dangling from the center of the bow that "harmonize" with the white swirls on the fabric. This bow will complement a pastel color sundress for a spring or summer event or a pale orange-tone sweater or blouse for a fall or winter occasion. The ponytail elastic makes for ease in forming your ponytail. This bow measures 6" in width.

Meet the Maker
Hello! My name is Jeanette, and I was born and raised on Long Island in New York State. I am a mother of two grown children and a grandmother of one teenage girl, and currently live in upstate New York. I have a passion for crafts. I learned to crochet at 8 years old by my maternal grandmother. I was always making potholders on a loom to give to my mother. At age 14, my grandmother and my mother taught me how to sew. I learned on a very old Singer machine with a foot pedal, but my grandmother gave me a brand new "electric" machine for my 17th birthday. I made clothes for myself, mostly dresses and skirts. At age 22, I even made my own wedding gown. Over the years, I made clothing for both my children, but I eventually stopped sewing for quite a while.
Within the last few years, I returned to using my sewing machine, and I am loving it all over again. This past summer (2023), I began making fabric hair bows. I have been searching to find my crafting niche, and I have discovered that making fabric hair bows is it. Since April, 2023, I have created over 250 bows. I have 12 different styles that I sew, some with long tails, some with medium length tails, some with short tails, some with no tails. Each bow is unique because of the fabrics I choose and the types of embellishments I use to enhance the look of each bow. I like to use buttons, gems, charms, lace, and fabric flowers to give my bows that extra something. I truly hope you will search through my products to not only see what I create, but to also be motivated to place an order, which in turn will help children in need. Goimagine donates 100% of its profits to children's charities.
As of July, 2024, I am adding headbands to my product listings. I currently have 3 different styles that are made in sizes for adults/teens, children, toddlers, and infants.
How it’s Made
My pattern was traced on the back side of the cotton fabric that I selected. I carefully cut out the pattern pieces and ironed them. I proceeded to sew the pattern together and re-ironed them for a smooth appearance. To form the bow, I folded the fabric in a certain way and tied it in the center using strong thread, making sure to include the hair elastic. The thread was covered with a strip of matching fabric, which also reinforced the hair elastic. I found a G-clef charm to dangle in the center of the bow for that extra wow factor.
