About this Product
Sophistication is the inspiration for this cotton fabric hair bow. It is the epitome of "bold meets delicate" and will look fabulous in your hair for any event or party your are planning to attend. The maroon and brown flowers on the ivory fabric that make up the top and bottom bows and the richness of the solid maroon fabric for the middle bow and center piece coordinate so well together. A pearlized ivory button adorns the center of the bow and gives that final "sophisticated" look of this hair bow. Picture a winter-white sweater dress or ivory dressy slacks and a maroon blouse that will pair well with this particular bow. There is a 2 1/4" French barrette clip on the back of the bow for ease in placing it 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
I traced the pattern on the back side of the selected cotton fabric choices and proceeded to carefully cut out the pattern pieces. I ironed each piece and then sewed them together. I, again, ironed the pieces to give that finished look to the bow. I folded the fabric in a certain way to form the bow shape and tied them together with strong thread. A 2 1/4" French barrette clip was attached on the back side of the bow. I covered the thread with a strip of coordinating fabric, which also gave extra support to the barrette. I decided that a pearlized ivory button would be the finishing touch this bow needed and attached it to the center piece.
