How to Make Fabric Bows: DIY Fabric Bows

Cut the main bow piece 9 inches (23cm) x 5 inches (13cm) and the strip for the center 1 inch (2.5cm) by 3 inches (7.5cm). This will make a 4 inch bow.

Fold the bow piece in half lengthwise with RIGHT sides together and stitch down the long edge with a 3/8 inch (1cm) seam allowance. Turn the bow the RIGHT way out and press the seam to the center.

Fold your piece in half and mark the center by pressing a crease. Place the bow piece on your table with the seam facing up. Fold the raw ends into the center overlapping them by 3/8 inch (12mm).

Thread a needle with a long piece of double thread and put a small running stitch up the center.

Pull the thread tight gathering the center. Arrange the folds nicely with your fingers and wrap the thread around the center a few times before knotting off.

Now to the center! Press the long raw edges in to meet in the center with WRONG sides together.

Place your bow on the center strip with the WRONG sides facing up. Wrap your center piece around the bow and stitch the ends at the back of the bow. You will probably need to trim the center piece a little shorter.
