Cute and easy bow-tie

Completed Projects 2014

Aug 15

Happy Friday all!!! I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted anything. Summer sure has kept me busy :) Today I'm sharing a fun little finish with you. My son asked me to make him a bow tie to wear to church last Sunday, and honestly, how could I resist such a fun request?!? So while he and my hubby were watching a movie on Saturday night I whipped up this cutie.

Didn't it turn out great? This fabric is one of my all time favorites and it is a DS Quilts print that I purchased at Jo-Ann's a while ago. I used this tutorial by Kelsey of Vanilla Joy. And it really was fast and easy. The thing that took the longest for me was turning the long strap that I made to fasten the tie right side out...3/4" wide and about 18" long fabric tube, not the simplest thing to turn, but I did it!

And here is my sweet boy proudly wearing it on Sunday morning :) Makes a Mommy's heart melt for sure!
