About this Product
Pure elegance was the incentive in making this holly leaves and berries triple stack cotton fabric hair bow. The top and bottom bows are eye-catching with the green holly leaves and red berries on a deep red background fabric. The middle bow is a soft sage green fabric with white pin dots that marries well with the colors of the top and bottom bows. There is a very cute red button gracing the center of this hair bow that represents the holly berries nicely. A 2 1/4" French barrette clip sits on the back side of the bow for ease in placing this bow in your hair. This hair 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.

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.
Beginning in September, 2024, I added "Bow-Handle" Purses/Totes to my product listings. I am very proud of the design of these bags and absolutely love the fabrics I chose for each one.
How it’s Made
My pattern was traced on the back side of the chosen cotton fabrics. I proceeded to carefully cut out the pattern pieces and then ironed them. Once I sewed them together, I re-ironed the pieces for that smooth, finished look. The top, middle, and bottom pattern pieces were then placed on top of each other and folded in a certain way to form the bow. Using a thick thread, I tied the bow together. It was now time to attach the French barrette clip on the back side of the bow. I covered the thread with a strip of fabric which also gave extra support to the barrette. I selected a round red button to embellish the center of the bow, which is representative of the holly berries on the fabric.
