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
I made this hair bow by tracing my pattern on the back of the red swirl cotton fabric and immediately cut the pieces. I ironed each pattern piece and proceeded to sew them together. Again, I ironed the pieces giving the fabric the perfect crispness. The bow was formed by folding the fabric in a certain way and the center was tied with strong thread. The thread was covered with a strip of matching fabric, and I attached the French barrette clip to the back side of the bow. For the embellishment, I attached a large red fabric flower to the center of the bow and a smaller fabric flower in the corner of the left tail, which refined the look of this very attractive hair bow.
