{Tutorial Tuesday} - Baby Bow Tie
I'd meant to applique some ties to some white onesies I got for Jasper to wear to church but of course hadn't gotten to it yet and he's already outgrown the little church pants I made him. I'd come across various tutorials for bow ties and had been thinking about that as well. On Memorial Day a niece mentioned that Jasper needed a bow tie and a couple weeks ago at church a talk was quoted about dressing your child as a missionary for church so that finally set me into action. Sunday morning I made a cute little bow tie in less than 5 minutes. (No kidding!) I mainly followed the tutorial I found here. I cut the larger piece 4 1/2" x 9" but the smaller piece only needed to be 2" x 2 1/4" since I cut the piece that she mentioned in half. Even though I plugged in the glue gun, since I had a threaded needle sitting right there I ended up sewing it instead. After I formed the bow I took a couple stitches through the pleats to hold them in place and then I added the middle part and stitched the ends closed and then I sewed on the pin. tada! So cute! Sadly only a couple of people saw it though since amazingly he slept straight through all three hours of church and I just had a couple of people peek at him to see his cuteness. He'll be wearing it again next week for sure!
