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 traced my pattern on the back side of the pink swirl cotton fabric and cut out the pieces. Each piece was ironed and I proceeded to sew them together. Again, I ironed the pieces to give the bow a crisp look. The fabric was folded in a precise way to form the bow and tied in the center with thick thread. I covered the thread with a strip of matching fabric and attached the French barrette clips to the back side of the bow. I chose to line the bottom of the tails and the center piece with lace that has a silver thread running through the center, giving a certain elegance to this lovely hair bow.
