About this Product
The phrase "spring is in the air" inspired me to choose this pink/apricot cotton fabric with white flowers to create this pair of pigtail hair bows for your little one. They are dressed with the cutest white buttons in the center of each bow and have 1 1/4" French barrette clips for ease of placement over pigtails, holding back both sides of her hair, or to place at the top or bottom of braids. Listen for the compliments when your little one is wearing these bows. Each bow measures 3 1/2" 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 July, I have made over 150 bows. I have 10 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.

How it’s Made
I drew the pattern on the back side of the pink/apricot cotton fabric with white flowers and proceeded to cut out the pieces. I ironed each piece and sewed them together. Again, I ironed the pieces to make the fabric crisp. The fabric was folded in a certain way to form the bows and tied in the center with strong thread. I covered the thread with strips of matching fabric and proceeded to attach the French barrette clips to the back side of the bows. Two simple white buttons were placed in the centers of each bow to complete the look.
