Monogrammed Hair Bows

I am from the south and so I love ALL THINGS MONOGRAMMED!!! 😃 And, of course, this includes monogrammed hair bows big and small!!!! I will take orders from time to time for others to also enjoy these monogrammed hair bows! I stay so busy with homeschooling and keeping house, etc that I do not take a lot of orders but I am willing to help out when I can. So, if you need something, don't hesitate to ask! 😉

Sash

Here is another easy and stylish project. Even though it is not quite as easy as the infinity scarf, it is still very, very easy! :) The hardest part is turning the tube of fabric right side out. I can't remember the exact measurements (but I would be glad to measure if there is any interest) but I cut a very long and narrow piece of fabric. Think about the width you would like your sash to be and multiply it by 2 and then add about 1 inch for seam allowance. For instance, if you want your sash to be two inches wide, then multiply 2x2 plus 1" for seam allowance (which obviously equals 5. LOL!!) Hard math, huh? 😉 That would give you a half inch seam allowance on both sides. Fold the fabric with right sides together lengthwise. Sew all the way down the long side (not forgetting to back stitch when you begin). When you get about 1/2" from the end, raise your presser foot and turn your fabric so that you can close this end of the tube. Backstitch. Now, you will need to snip the excess fabric from the two corners on the end of the tube that you just sewed closed. This will help it lay flat once it is turned right side out.
Ok, now the hardest part of this project...turning this super long and skinny tube right side out. It takes some time and something like a chop stick may help you. Once you have it turned right side out, you will need to turn under the raw edge of the open end of the tube and iron. Top stitch it closed. Now iron the entire sash flat. Next, go to the other end of the now flat tube and top stitch to match the top stitch on the other ending the sash. Remember to use coordinating thread so that your thread doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. 😲
Now put that baby around your waist and tie a pretty little bow! Enjoy!!! :)

Infinity Scarf--chevron

Seriously!! This has got to be the EASIEST and QUICKEST sewing project out there!!! Plus, these infinity scarves are super stylish!!! I used Moda fabric and love it!! I cut a piece of fabric 22" by 44". The fabric was already 44" off the bolt so I only had to make one cut! Then, I folded the fabric (with right sides together) length-wise so that the two long sides (44") of the fabric were lined up together. Top stitched it, then, turned it right side out. Then you have a large tube! Next, I folded the raw ends on each end of the tube under and ironed. The next part is a little hard to explain without pictures, sooooo maybe I need to take pictures and make a true tutorial. Hmmmm. :-/ But, you sew the two ends of the tube together. You will need to leave a small opening and hand sew it closed. And it's all done!!!! Seriously super easy and quick!! 😃
