Tutorial- Giant Hair Bow

I’ve made a tutorial! The first one is a nice easy one that I thought people would find interesting. It’s how to make a very large hair bow that stands up. I know my costumes don’t look like I make this sort of thing a lot, but it’s something I do often as part of commission work.

Fold the bow into the shape you want. This bow needed to be very cartoon like and pleated, so I've done that here. Get some Upholstery or strong thread to sew it in place.

Let me know what you think of the gallery system! This is my first time testing this, I’d like to know what you think.

Here are some tutorial ideas that I’ll be doing next:

  • Making continuous bias binding
  • Sewing bias binding with a machine
  • Covered buttons
  • Button holes
  • Making a covered busk corset
