Kate from See Kate Sew made an adorable 60’s Mod inspired coat for her daughter, and made a tutorial for the bow headband that went with it! This is a fun addition to a costume!
Big Bow Headband Tutorial
First cut out your pattern pieces based on the diagram below. All measurements are in inches.
The hexagon shapes will be the floppy ends of the bow. We’ll start with those. Fold in half and sew the sides up.
Clip corner and trim edges if you want.
Then turn right side out.
Repeat this for the other side.
To make the bow part, fold over and hot glue both edges of the long stripes. You’ll repeat for both long strips and the short strip as well. Now, stack your bow pieces up as shown below. The long strips will be folded in half.
Dab some glue in between each layer and then wrap it with the short strip.
You can insert a headband, elastic, or a bow clip.
And you’re done!
I’ll be sharing more in-depth tutorials on parts of the dress and the coat on my blog See Kate Sew in the next few weeks. You are also welcome to check out my inspiration and original sketch of the coat.
Save this picture to make it later!
