More scraps, more hair bows XD This time its a typical JD style double fabric bow. This is another one which has been sitting on my reader’s request list for so long that I can’t find who originally requested it >_< If it was you I’m sorry and let me know in the comments so I can update this!

What you need:

  • Fabric (scraps are usually enough)
  • Scissors, needle, thread
  • Sewing machine/overlocker if you don’t want to hand stitch
  • Pen or something pointy

JD Style Double Layer Hair Bow

Cut your pieces out first. You need 2 large rectangles, 2 slightly smaller rectangles and a little one for the middle tie.

Place the two sets of rectangles on top of each other, good sides of the fabric facing in.

Stitch around  3 and 1/2 sides of the first rectangle set. I used an overlocker but you can do it on a sewing machine or hand stitch just as easily.

Repeat on the other set of rectangles and also on the long sides of the middle tie.

Fabric choice matters a lot with these bows, they generally look better with stiff fabric like this cord or thick satin as it holds shape better. From here you could easily decorate with pearls, extra ribbons or anything you like. I think this fabric looks nice enough as is though because it had a fairly busy pattern already.
