a bow to bow ties

My friend Damaris of Kitchen Corners fell in love with the tiny dress and commissioned me to make a slightly larger version for her sweet little daughter.

Then she had the beautiful idea of making a matching bow tie for her son for Easter. I used this tutorial and was tickled by the final product.

There are far too few opportunities to don bow ties (or make them). Such a quick project, yet the result is so adorably satisfying.

  1. I love boys in bow ties. the big boys won't wear them anymore, but this just made me happy to have another boy coming up to bow tie years.

  2. Ah - this is so timely! My boys are in a school musical next week and are supposed to have a black tie (bow tie or long-style)to wear for costumes. I will be using this tutorial! Muchas gracias!
