How to sew a bow from fabric:

2. At this stage, it is necessary to cut the fabric into three pieces: 18x22, 18x15 and 8x5 cm.
3. We take a rectangle of 18x22 cm and fold it with a beautiful, face inward, along. That is, now you will have a 9x11 cm rectangle. We retreat one centimeter from the edge and sew it on a sewing machine. Now you get a rectangle with two holes, on one side - built-up, on the other - curved.
4. On the next rectangle, you must first sketch, and then stitch. So, bend the part face inward. We retreat one centimeter from the edges. Connect these lines at an angle of 45 degrees. Once you have drawn a sketch, you can sew.
5. After you sewn up the second part, you need to cut the corners and turn it to the front side.
6. Ironing details. Please note that on a segment that was 18x22 cm long, it is worth ironing so that the seam is located exactly in the middle.
7. When ironing the second part on the jumper, you must take into account the allowance and fix it with a hot iron.
8. Take the first part, fold it in half so that the seam, which is located in the middle, is on the front side. One centimeter must be retreated from the outer edge (opposite the bend) and sewn onto the sewing machine.
9. Step aside four millimeters from the only stitched seam and cut off the remainder. Turn out a detail.
10. Fold the line so that a bow is formed.
11. Lock with a thread.
12. Without trimming the threads, attach another part of the bow and also sew with the thread.
13. The place of wrinkling should be wrapped with the third part of the material and fixed with a pin on the wrong side of the product.
14. In the event that the piece of fabric that hides the seams is longer than required, it must be cut. You need to sew the jumper with your hands, and not on the typewriter.

Making a dense beautiful bow made of non-woven fabric

What is the difference between a fabric bow and non-woven fabric? First of all, the fact that in the second version it will be more voluminous, more stable, a little more beautiful. Of course, you can choose the most favorite fabric that you like, according to the color of the outfit. However, making a bow on a dress with your own hands made of non-woven fabric is slightly different from the same action from fabric.

Materials and Tools

The components of tailoring a bow made of non-woven fabric are such materials and tools:

• The synthetic material itself and the fabric you have chosen.
• Sewing machine, scissors, thread, needle, soap or chalk in order to make markings.

We sew a bow from non-woven fabric:

If you have already done this, then cut out two identical pieces of fabric and the same amount of non-woven fabric. Parts must be the same size. One piece of matter is also needed, which will serve as a jumper. Cut the non-woven fabric to the same size.
2. Take two cuts of fabric. Attach the non-woven to them from the wrong side. Iron thoroughly, and with the front side folded to each other, make a lowercase seam on the machine so that there is space on one side. This is necessary in order to twist the future bow.
3. The corners of the workpiece must be sewn at an angle of 45 degrees. Cut off the excess.
4. Now you need to turn the workpiece to the front side.
5. Sew in the hole that was left to turn the workpiece.
6. At this stage, you need to take up the jumper of the future bow. Take a piece of fabric and fold it in half. Sew in a sewing machine on a typewriter. To do all this is necessary from the wrong side.
7. Now you need to unscrew the jumper on the front side, sew up the hole and iron it carefully so that the seam is in the middle on the wrong side. That is, when you sew it on top of the bow, the seam should not be visible.
8. We take the main piece of matter and fold it in the middle so that a beautiful bow is formed on the dress with our own hands.
9. We fix it with threads.
10. We wrap everything with a jumper on the wrong side.
11. Sew the jumper and bow on the wrong side.

How to tie a bow?

Despite the fact that we are constantly tying shoelaces on shoes, products made of matter that need to be beautifully tied on the outfit will cause you a lot of questions. Not the first time everyone can do it.

There are two ways to solve this problem.
