About this Product
Autumn colors are the reason I chose this yellow, orange, green, and white cotton fabric to create this ponytail hair bow. To add a fun factor, I selected a carrot charm that dangles from the center of the bow. The elastic attached to the back of the bow makes it easy to wrap around your ponytail. Of course, these colors go well with any spring or summer outfit, your favorite fall outfit, and will brighten up a dreary, cold winter day. This ponytail 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
After tracing my pattern on the back of the chosen cotton fabric, I cut out the pattern and carefully ironed the pieces. I proceeded to sew them together and re-ironed them for that crisp appearance. Both bow pieces were placed together in a certain way, then folded to form the actual bow. I tied the center with strong thread to hold the shape, making sure to include the hair elastic on the back. I covered the thread with a strip of matching fabric, which reinforced the elastic. I hand sewed the carrot charm to the center of the bow so that it dangles, which completed the hair bow.
