bitty Blue

bitty Blue is a special request bow for my munchkin. Using 5/8" navy blue grosgrain ribbon, I attempted my first 2" bitty bow. I have been using the Brilliant Bowmaker snap templates and I am starting to really love them. I would love to be authentic and hand fold and crease all my bows but... some have talent and some BUY IT till they can MAKE IT!!!
LOL!

Forgive the lighting!

I'm Blue...

I'm blue is my attempt at the darn twisted boutique bow (TBB). My munchkin actually put in a request for a blue bow for her and her best friends in the whole world! A simple task... or so I thought. During the last year when I was writing the blog regularly, the TBB was always difficult for me so if you look back you won't see it much. But since I would like to chart my growth, I decided to post these bows anyway. See my strengths and my weaknesses.





The first was my attempt at a 3" teal blue using 1/2" ribbon. The center knot looks a lot better than my last attempt. The second I became discouraged so it's not finished. I will probably take it apart and make it again. If I do, I post a new photo. That one is using 7/8" baby blue ribbon.
