About this Product
Tie dye fabric has never really gone out of style and dates back to 4,000 BC in the northern region of modern day India. I chose this purple and blue tie dyed cotton fabric to create this attractive sailor style hair bow. The blue/purplish flower that is affixed in the center of the bow coincides with the colors in the bow. It has a 2 1/4" French barrette clip and would be the perfect accompaniment in your hair for having a fun day. The bow measures 5" wide and has 3" long tails.

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
After choosing this purple and blue tie dyed cotton fabric, my pattern was traced on the back. I cut out the pattern and ironed each piece. I proceeded to sew the pieces together and re-ironed them for the smooth and crisp appearance the bow deserves. I folded the fabric in a certain way to form the bow and tied it together with strong thread. I covered the thread with a strip of the fabric and secured the French barrette on the back side of the hair bow. To enhance the tie dye colors, I selected a blue and purple fabric flower to fasten on the front center of this hair bow giving it the perfect appearance.
