About this Product
A sunny summer day is what I thought of when I created these yellow pin dot cotton fabric pigtail hair bows. They are embellished with a small white satin bow in the center of each bow, giving them the soft look they deserve. Each bow has a 1 1/4" French barrette clip making it easy to place over your child's pigtails, above or at the bottom of braids, or to hold back both sides of her hair. Both bows measure 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 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 traced my pattern on the back side of the yellow pin dot cotton fabric that I chose. I proceeded to cut the pattern pieces and ironed them. After I sewed them together, I ironed them again for that crispness the bows deserve. I folded the fabric in a certain way to form the bows and tied them at the center with strong thread. The thread was covered with strips of matching fabric on each bow. I added the two French barrette clips to the back of the bows and attached the white satin bows to the centers of the fronts giving a softer look to each bow.
