7 Bow Tie Wearing Dude!

May 23, 2011


Sorry I was MIA this weekend!  We had a birthday party and a Baptism... and on top of that I had the worst migraine of my life, which forced me to hug the toilet for a while and kept me in bed for a night.  Needless to say, not much time for crafting.

Yesterday was my newest Godson's Baptism.  My husband got a spiffy new suit and tie, and my little man was feeling a little left out.  He looked at me and said, "Mommy, I need a tie like Daddy."  I've already told you, I cannot tell him no when he asks me to CRAFT for him, so you know what I did Friday night!
 
I've had so many great bow tie tutorials linked up via my What are little boys made of? Weekly link party, that I knew I could find one that was super easy!
 
So check it out:

If you have a little guy, you NEED to make him one of these!  This tutorial is SUPER easy to follow and I used fabric from my scrap file, not a lot required.  I also used a sheet of felt because that is what I had on hand - I didn't have any issues sewing through it with my machine and the tie held its shape perfectly.

 He was the talk of the celebration!  His 4 year old cousin came up to him and spiffed up his tie and said "Mason, you look so cute in your little bow!"  It was the sweetest moment and I wish I had my camera at the time.  He was so proud of his bow tie and I was so happy he got so many comments on it because it just made his day to be like Daddy!
