Influenced by above lovely sweater/dresses, here is my attempt to incorporate bows in my closet…
I did not make sweaters themselves. They were ugly old turtle neck sweaters I found second hand. I cut off the turtle neck, and used that fabric to create bows. I made boat neck cut for gray sweater and back V line for purple sweater and finished them with black bias strips.I like these much better than turtle neck sweaters, I do not like turtle neck very much… it makes my neck itchy and face look so big and moon-like!

I love your bows! I have been planning a big bow project for a couple weeks but the best bow tutorial I have found is on threadbanger. Do you know of a good one??
vivatveritas says
hi transient beauty,
i dont know any tutorials – i usually use two layers for the main part, and then crunch the middle with a band of fabric to make a bow!
what is a bit bow project??!

thanks for the explanation of how to deal with the raw neck edge. I thought I would need a serger to remodel a sweater. I tried using bias tape today and it worked wonderfully!
