I had one question, how did you tie the brooch without damaging the bow??
Hello! Sorry for the late reply, I thought I’d replied to this comment when I liked it! I actually stuck a bit of felt to the back of the brooch and sewed it onto the bow, since a simple pin wasn’t up to the task!
thank you, it was really well explained and pretty!
Thank you so much! I hope it helped somewhat!
Thanks! My mom bought me one today it black and it has pearls but o need this tutorial coz’ my cousin asked me for one but my mom didn’t allow 😊
Now you can make as many bows as you want!
Love this ❤
what sew-in interface did you use? How thick/strong is it?
I used a heavy-weight interfacing, but it depends on the look you want your final bow to have. If you want it very stiff, go for the heavyweight interfacing, but if you want a floppier bow, use more lightweight interfacing instead! 👍🏻
Im new to sewing and this was very useful! I need to attach this bow to a dress shirt while being able to remove and put it back on again, how do you recommend I do that?
@@LabrysLover thank you for watching my video! In terms of attaching a bow and taking it off/putting it back on again, I’d recommend sewing some snaps onto the back of the bow and to the shirt so you can easily pop the bow off and attach it back into place. Depending on the size/weight of the bow, you might need a few snaps, or more heavy-duty ones to do the job. Hope that helps!
@@GiorgiaCostumes Thank you so much!
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. How do I attach the bow to a dress and make it detachable
Detachable bows usually use safety pins or clips. Velcro works for smaller bows but it's not as attractive when you don't have the bow attached
If you find large enough button snaps you could probably very easily make it detachable that way!
Both of the replies you've received have helped a lot! (Sorry for the late answer!) I find if I have an oversized bow or the fabric is rather heavy I use heavy-duty clips.
Hello. I just saw your video, it is very well explained but there is one thing I don't understand. 1 minute 30 after the start of the video, you make a diagram with the measurements. what does (5/A) mean? I would like to make Sailor moon cosplay for me and sailor chibi moon cosplay for my daughter. thanks in advance
Hello! I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you on this question! You need to pardon my bad handwriting, it's meant to say S/A which is short for Seam Allowance!
Ok. Thank you
Amei posta mais vídeo só tem dois
More coming soon!
how much fabric should i get if i’m making the front bow and back bow..?
That depends entirely on how large you want the bow to be! If you're making something like this sized bow (like for Sailor Moon) I used about 2 meters of fabric. I'm sorry I don't have an exact answer for that 😅
Hello! I don't know if you'll reply since this is an old video, but I wanted to ask what kind of interface you use. Is it the soft or hard kind? :0
Hello! Thank you for watching my video (as old as it is!) In terms of interfacing, I used the stiffer kind because I wanted some really out-there proportions! If you’re wanting more of a soft-looking bow, I’d recommend going for soft interfacing. I’ve also used multiple layers of soft interfacing for making stiffer bows when hard interfacing wasn’t available. I hope this helps!
I'm making a sailor moon cosplay and I really don't know how to make the bow I tried some other tutorials but they didn't work I really hope this one works ☺
Best of luck! If you make a bow using this tutorial I'd love to see it!
Where can I find sew in interfacing?
You should be able to find it at your local craft store or anywhere that sells fabric!
What fabric would you recommend?
Any fabric is suitable for bows! Personally I recommend going with something that has a little bit of body so that the bows want to stand up some easily with the interfacing, so stay away from anything too light like chiffon and organza!
I'm bad at math, how to you figure out the formula for right size? I'm trying to make a bow for my toddlers cosplay
I don't math, so usually I just cut a piece of paper into a rectangle and pinch it in the middle to gauge how it should look.
Can you do a gibe away please
I'm afraid all I can give away is knowledge! 😅
What if i dont have interfacing :,)
You could always try to sandwich some stiffer fabric inside instead! Fortunately interfacing is very cheap to buy and available at every fabric shop I've been to!
