About this Product
A mandala is a geometric configuration of symbols, usually circles that symbolize the universe. The pink and lime green mandalas on this cotton fabric hair bow are just a fun design that I chose for this ponytail hair bow. I selected a simple lime green button as the embellishment in the center of the bow. The elastic on the back of the bow makes for ease in placing it around your ponytail. This colorful hair bow is a great hair accessory to match a summer light and airy outfit, but will certainly look fabulous to brighten up a cold, dreary day in the winter. 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.
How it’s Made
After I traced the pattern on the back of the chosen cotton fabric, I carefully cut out the pattern pieces. I ironed the pieces and proceeded to sew them together. I re-ironed the pieces for that smooth, crisp look. The pattern pieces were folded in such a way as to form the pleats in the bow. I tied it together at the center with strong thread, making sure to include the hair elastic on the back of the bow. I covered the thread with a strip of the fabric, which also reinforced the hair elastic. I attached the lime button on the center piece of the bow, which emphasizes the lime green colors in the fabric. That was the final step in creating this ponytail hair bow.
