Let’s DIY.

I was looking for the perfect bowtie for Jackson to wear on Christmas but couldn’t find one at any of the stores I went to. I did find a bunch of cute ones on Etsy but it was hard to tell the true colors and if it would go with his shirt. So what’s a mama to do? Bust out the sewing machine and make one herself. And that’s what I did.

I got theĀ tutorialĀ from Living the Swell Life . I wound up having to make two because the first one I made was a little too big, but being that I made it a clip on I now have a cute hair bow. I made the second one 2 inches smaller with a band and it fits great.

I’m a fan of mixing patterns and thought the red and white fabric had a holiday feel to it. I’m happy with the end result and this is just the first of many=)

Christmas card pics to come!
