- BOWS AND TIES
Bows and Ties can be easily made by left over fabrics. The fabric used however, should be woven and not knit. It should not stretch. Fabric needs to be chosen wisely. Big prints on the fabric make an attractive item, but not always. Fold the piece of fabric, keeping right sides of the fabric together and stitch both the ends. Turn right side outwards, forming a pouch like structure. Fold the fabric pouch in half and stitch from the center in such a way that it forms a bow like structure. You can also decorate this bow with fancy buttons and other embellishments. Large size beads, stones and crystals can be used to decorate these little adornments. Left over fabrics can also be used to make ties, by folding them in a desired way to get the appropriate tying pattern.
