When it comes to baby bows and headbands, believe it or not,

the smaller the better. Don’t ask me why. Maybe because the

bow doesn’t overwhelm the baby and smaller things are gener-

ally cuter than bigger things.

So if you want to make smaller bow, print the pattern smaller

before cutting. Easy!

The size you make by printing this pattern on A4 paper is ideal,

in my opinion.

Sewing instructions

1. Print page 1 of this document. You can do this on regular A4 printer paper. Cut out

pattern pieces A, B and C.

2. Pin pattern pieces to felt fabric or trace around pattern pieces lightly onto your felt

using a pen. Cut around pattern pieces. You need good quality sharp fabric scissors for

this project. The felt needs to have a clean cut edge in order to produce a neat and

smart looking bow.

3. Thread your needle with a matching colour thread to your felt fabric. A single thread

is sufficient.

4. Sew the ends of Piece A together.

tightly to secure.

7. Sew Piece C around your bow to complete the bow and stitch ends together.

8. Admire the finished product!

9. If you are making a baby head band, measure and cut your elastic leaving approximately

2cm to overlap and join the ends with thread.

10. Attach the finished bow to the elastic using several stitches along the elastic to prevent

the bow from twisting and being crooked when worn.
