houndstooth hair bow

I told my two sisters that I would make little bow ties for their little boys and this is what I ended up with:


I used a combination of numbers I had found online but it looked massive! Note: if you make one of these babies 6"x3" is too large for a two year old. I had Carla measure T's neck width and am going to make the next one that wide (3.25" finished width). I'll also use a wider strip of fabric down the middle- more like a neck tie knot.

Now I need to decide if a hair bow looks ridiculous on me!

OH THAT'S A HOODIE!!! Hahahaha I thought you had wrapped a scarf around your shoulders and I was like WHAT?!? I personally think you look like you should be sitting on a chuck wagon eagerly bouncing on towards your new homestead. OR you are waiting for some cute boy to dip that ponytail into some ink. ;) Lovely Angelina? Yes. Lovely new hair piece? No.

IT'S A SCARF!!!! not a hoodie?!?! where'd you get that idea??? (maybe because I was wearing a hoodie under it? hehe- I cropped it out of the picture though). I think I will not model anything else I make:P It's kinda growing on me.....

Oh wow. I would say absolutely not, but if you keep wearing it, in a year from now I'll probably be begging you to make me one...

Oh and I forgot I'm supposed to get you LHs measurement.

the bow is cute - when balanced with a sophisticated outift. NOT with that scarf/hoodie/whatever it is!
