I have a self-healing mat so as soon as I get the rotary scissors I am going to fold the fabric as I have seen others do and cut 6.5 strips. I am going to experiment with how to stitch the fabric, but I am not too worried. Once I have the strips sewn then I can get to the fun part, making the bows. I never understood cutting on the bias until I read your article so thank you. I can't do something if I don't understand why. Now I finally get it. <br />Your embroidery work is just beautiful. You are a true artist. Have you see the wonderful jewelry boxes lined with embroidered velvets by Jessica McCormack? They are exquisite and if you made one with your talent with the needle and thread it would be even more beautiful. I have wanted to learn how to embroider just so I could make one. She recycles old silverware boxes, but I think it would be more fun to reuse an antique sewing box and turn it into a jewelry box. Hers sell for 20k and up. Can anyone imagine such extravagance? But it really is art. Thank you so much, God bless you!

Unfortunately, I've never done anything like that, so I don't really have any advice... There definitely are many tutorials on Pinterest, though, so if you look up "hair bow tutorial" there, I'm sure you will see plenty!Aminahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324968229025029402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535287262256823752.post-3177428158572717412020-07-26T10:08:21.863-07:002020-07-26T10:08:21.863-07:00Thank you so much.

I saw some fancy bows that seem to be made of folded silk organza fabric rather than single thickness with burned edges. I want to make those bows. I have the fabric but I didn't have the courage to cut it on the bias till now. If you google for "Sienna likes to Party Girls Designer girls hair accessories" you can see the bows in question. Hers are not real silk but I bought real silk. I agree with you, nothing compares. I am pretty confident the fabric should be cut on the bias to make this ribbon. Thank you for your help and if you had advice I would appreciate it. Lovely ribbon by the way!!! KathyThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10812709750720460253noreply@blogger.com
