• Sewing needles

 

Steps to make the bow tie:

1. Cut the Fabrics:

Initially cut the fabric into a rectangular shape for the bow tie. Depending on the dog’s height, the measurements of the fabric would need to differ. By its width, you will end up folding the rectangle, so the final width of the bow tie will be roughly half the size of this original rectangle

• Print out a 4-inch by 9-inch rectangle for extremely small size dogs.
• Trimmed out a 6-inch by 11-inch rectangle for normal dogs.
• Slice out the 8-inch by 14-inch rectangle for large and extra-large dogs.

2. Fold the materials long ways:

Mostly with the right-hand side facing in and facing each other, fold the bow body fabric in half lengthwise. Press the folded edge flat using an iron.

Notice that throughout the stage, the size of the body should be halved, but the length should not be changed.

To improve maintain the shape as you stitch, you may pin the open edges together but if required. This might not be appropriate if, however, the folded edge is pressed firmly.

3. Stitch the fabric:

In the third, you have to give shape to lengthwise bow body fabric according to folded positions by iron. After it sews it by sewing machine or set with pins.

4. Sew down the short ways fold:

You have to fold the fabric again into halves and sew it with a sewing machine or pins. After that press it with iron. Leave the other short edges open.

To reduce the size, trim the ends and cut the straight edge back to1⁄8″ (3mm).

5. Fold and stick the pin in the center:

To take a rough idea of bow tie use pins and give rough shapes of the bow tie. If it is the perfect match on both sides and four corners then it must further proceed to create the bow.

Keep in mind your designs align and when you pin the fabric together they’re heading in the same direction.

6. Create the bow tie center:

Wrap in the rectangle’s ends and press. Cover the sheet in half around the small center and seal the hole by sewing it. You must stitch this too to make the other end (the fold) look the same. To form the bow tie design, assemble the fabric in the core. When you stitch a stay-stitch by hand through the center, your bow tie will appear in a decent position.

7. Make the bow tie loop:

Evaluate the neck of your dog to see how wide the loop needs to be in addition to put it on the collar-make sure that perhaps the largest section of the collar is marked, usually the loop.

Stretch and press about .5cm along both sidewalls of the narrower rectangle. Adjust the middle length in half to tie these 2 folding combined. As the press. Stitch elongated. Stretch it over the skinny side in quarter and stitch across the equal angles, forming a belt only a little longer than the measurement of your neck. Turn it over so that the inside of the loop is the edge.

8. Placed bow tie together:

In this step slide down the bow’s middle loop over the band’s edge. Slip right the bow down the band until the middle point of the band is resting.

Preferably, for all the bow ties to slip over the band without trouble, there should be adequate room between both the center loop and the bow body. However, when there’s not enough room, you may use rope or elastic to tie the bow tie onto the piece.

9. Put the bow tie in your dog’s neck:

Roll the assembled bow tie collar across the collar of your dog but use the straps to tighten it in position. Once again, test the position to ensure it’s not too tight, then step back and appreciate your success.

Which Fabric use for dog bow tie:

Think more about design if you decide to choose a textured fabric. Would it have been wasted on something tiny like that of a bow tie? You would not be eligible to see what it is if it is a massive print. Select a plain fabric or a tiny print pattern to prevent this. For bow ties, graphical or vague patterns function quite well. A denser fabric will maintain its texture wonderfully and you won’t need to add any design to tighten it-perfect this is for maximum versatility.

Some Helping Tips:

• Try adding the bow tie to a store-bought collar, rather than designing your band, to save time and resources.
• You should try to pick a collar that suits the bow tie’s collar design.
• When the loop turned out to be too short to move over the collar buckle then, only attempt to put the loop forward without the bow inside it, so put the bow in a spot until the loop passes through the buckle.
