BowTie {tutorial}

The Easter Bunny always brings fancy shmancy church clothes for my kiddos. And this year he spiced things up a bit.

Mr. Bunny took this old tie...

And cut it right where the straight skinny part started...

(and set the skinny part aside).

Then Mr. B. unpicked the big part of the tie

and took out the white fabric

And folded it in half to get two sides of the new bow tie...

And then cut out a rectangle...

Mr. B. drew a bow tie shape to the desired size!

(but he folded it the other way {inside out} before he drew on the tie of coarse)

Now he sewed along the line...but leaving this part open...

Now if you turn it right side in...

(and cut and place some of the cut out white fabric right back in)

All you'd have to do is hot glue the opening (yup...the Bunny is THAT lazy)

Then you can take the skinny piece of tie that Mr. B. had set aside.

But put the back side out for texture.

Then Mr. B. cut and hot glued the loop in the back.

Now take the rest of the skinny part of the tie and measure the boy's neck and cut to desired length. And then sew or glue onto back of tie.

Mr. B. made it adjustable (by first folding and sewing the cut end) and then glueing on velcro dots.

Thank you Mr. Easter Bunny for making my son so dang handsome...

And very very happy...

Hope you had a very happy and extremely special Easter.
