Sew a Hair Bow Tutorial

hair bows finished
An easy hair accessory is sewing a hair bow. These can be good for using up fabric scraps. You will need two rectangles. You can vary the size of your bow by changing the size of your rectangles. We used a 7x4 inch rectangle and a 6x4 inch rectangle for this tutorial.

Place two rectangles right sides together. Sew along three edges leaving a short edge open for turning right sides out. Iron flat.

Tuck in unsewn edge and pin. Sew unsewn edge and continue along each side edge. This is called top stitching.
