- Human babies should not get all the handmade love! Find out how you can make these adorable bow ties for the furry friend in your life.
Abbey has sized them for big dogs, small dogs, traditional narrow width and wide width; but they would also work for cats (use small dog size), or human babies (add a clip instead of velcro), and hair (use a clip instead of velcro). This little project has so many applications! It's perfect!

Love these. I have made many now, both as gifts and for my own fur baby. They are quick and easy and your instructions are so clear. I love the ease of attaching/switching with the double-sided Velcro. My boy always looks dapper 😉🤵♂️🐾
This was just the tutorial I was looking for! New to living in the South and my beautiful Fur Baby needs a girlie bow! Thank you!
The very best way to make these. Don't waste time searching other videos. Perfect!
Aww. Thanks Liz!!!
I have investigated a lot of doggy bow tutorials. Yours is by far my favorite!!
Amazing! Thank you!!
Best tutorial on bow ties I have seen… thanks so much.
Just made my first one! Very clear instructions and fun to make. A couple of tips: After folding the center band to desired width, stitch about 1/8" from the raw edge. When placing the band around the bow, put the raw edge of the band toward the bow. Use a zipper foot to sew the band in place. No need to turn if the raw edge of the fabric is already toward the inside. And I used a little Fray Chek after trimming the band. That's going to be on the back so no one will see it anyway.
This is the best bow making video I have ever found! Also, this method with the double-sided Valero really is the BEST! It really keeps the bow in place and looking fancy! Thanks so much!
Wow, thanks! I'm so glad you love it!
Thank you, thank you. Best bow tie tutorial I've found. Straight forward. You're a great teacher. :)
I am stealing this to make bow ties for memory bears I am making ! I will be using the deceased ties for bows. I think it will work.. I will just make a band for tie to go around bears’ necks. Thanks for sharing your expertise on bow ties ! 😊😊
Hi this is great. I’ve looked at lots of different doggie bow tie tutorials and yours is the best. Nicely made and professional looking. Many thanks
Awww! Thanks Debbie!
Definitely a great tutorial despite it not showing any actual sewing. Because of this video, I am now making and selling bow ties for dogs and cats! Thank you for teaching us!
Omg. That’s amazing!
Thank you!! Just made my first practice bow, watched this video yesterday and got my velcro ordered so now when it comes I can make one properly! Fantastic, so easy to follow! 🐕🐕🐕
Velcro! such a great idea, I have been sending myself crazy trying to find a way to attach my bows to my pup's collars and them not hanging off, this is amazing! Cannot wait to try this
Thank you so much. Finally found a decent tutorial for a bow for my grand fur baby.
Thanks so much! You made my dog bow making day a whole lot easier!! 🐾🐾🐾
I love the velcro idea. Thanks!
Thank you so much! I only knew one method for making bow ties and it was more time consuming. This video helped me iron out a few kinks!

So CUTE! Just what I was looking for for my mom's beloved pup.
do you find it moves about a lot so it rides high?
Terrific video... clear instructions... fun and manageable craft project! i made matching holiday bows for all the pups in my doggy's obedience training class for their upcoming December graduation (my teen daughter added jingle bells to the centers to give them a holiday look). So adorable! I can't wait to gift them to the other poochies for their upcoming graduation! I wish I knew how to post a photo to this comment :( THANKS for the video... the double sided velcro is a perfect way to fasten to puppy's existing collar!
That’s so awesome!!! You can add pics to YT comments but you can tag me on Facebook or Instagram! I’m insidethehem everywhere!
I would love to see a video on a dog bandana, preferably reversible or 2 materials showing.
very impressed. thorough instruction and such a cute end product. thanks!
I've been looking for a great bow tie tutorial. Your instructions were perfect. Can't wait to make these for all of Tanner's friends at doggy daycare. ❤🐕🐶
Aww. That's awesome! Tag me in a pic if you use social media!
GREAT tutorial, thank you!I was trying to just put one piece of Velcro on the center piece ... you solved that!
Really cute and looks very very easy, I’m making some today!!!
Would you say that this would be fairly easy to hand stitch?
I have the singer heavy duty 4432 I'm struggling with the middle part of the bow, the part where you have to sew close to the bow. do you have any tips?
Only to use a zipper foot or something were your needle can get really close to the edge.
What measurements do you use for a large boy dog.
really love your tutorial im going to make some for my girls poodles
Brilliant tutorial, thank you. The finished bow tie is so neat and the Velcro ties are a great idea.
Thank you so much for this! What are the measurements of the bow ties from side to side after they are finished?
I've never measured that before. I guess it's the width of the pattern piece less two seam allowances.
This is a great video! I can't wait to try this. I was wondering where you got your fabric from I love it!
very old video but super helpful and one of the best now in 2022 !! HELP please ..... even after lining the bow looks to wrinkle....what am I doing wrong? Also very hard to sew the last part...doesnt fit on my machine
Wrinkling would depend on the fabric you’re using. You can try iron on interfacing. And for the last part, be sure you’re using a zipper foot to get super close.
@@InsidetheHem mmm ok for the zipper part 👍 and as far as fabric I used 100 cotton and another one was mix of poly/cotton, used iron on interface but when is time to turn the fabric was where I struggled and ended up making it very wrinkly
HI Abbey, You have the "BEST" video out period. I'm happy I finally stumbled onto it ! Your method was clear and professionally done. I'm going to have fun making them for the holidays. ( I like the way you did the Velcro. ) diane :)
Thanks for a great tutorial! What weight interface do you recommend? Handwash only? Any info is appreciated. Thanks :)
Light to midweight interfacing. You can machine wash!!
Wow, thanks for the response@@InsidetheHem ! Do you ever have to worry about a naughty dogs ingesting the bow with the interface? Lastly, thanks again for a great tutorial!
That's a good idea I make a lot of bows did not think of the interfacing
I LOVE THIS! Can't wait to make my moms lil boy some bow ties! The fold you do is backwards to me as I make cheer bows and the folds should be in the front not the back...but that is personal preference for this style. So cute! Thanks for sharing!
This is fantastic! I can’t wait to try it out! What measurements would you suggest for a larger dog eg. Labrador? Thanks x
OK. I edited the description box to include dimensions for a larger dog, so check there for those! Let me know how it works out sizing wise since I've never made them for a big dog before! :)
Thanks for sharing .
Nicely explained - thank you for sharing. Off I go to make some adorable bow ties :-).
Thank you so much I am loving making these dog bows!!! ❤️
Thanks for this tutorial, I’ve been using elastic on the centre piece, this is much neater, ordered my Velcro. Looking forward to using your method 😊
Thank you so much. Just made my first few bows. The only question I have is there a trick to sewing the centre piece on tight as I’m having difficulty in doing so as the bow in getting in the way. Thank you
Just read through the comments. Zipper foot it is to get close to the edge. Thanks again
Zipper foot or hand sew.
Hi Abbey,
What size would you make for a large girl dog? Approximately 90 lbs. thanks!
Hey, Sarah! I would keep the wide width and add an inch or 1.5" to the length so it would show up a little bit better on your pup! Let me know how it turns out! Tag us on instagram @insidethehem!
Hi! Please let us know what type of Velcro is that. I only know of the hook and loop type. Also what is the width?
Otherwise, thanks for the very nice video 👍
That info is in the description box! :) Direct link to the velcro Abbey used.
Inside the Hem Thanks a lot! 🌹
AWESOME 👍
I am sorry but I do not see any of the other posts regarding the pattern for an X-Small dog's bow and center. Could you please help me out with the measurements? Thanks!!!
Love this tutorial! Can't wait to make some bowties for my king charles spaniels. Have you made your dog any of the flower ties - similar to bowties but in the shape of a flower? would love to see a tutorial for that if you ever make one. thanks for the tip on the velcro - ordering some! Kelly
Hi, Kelly! I have not made any of the flower ties. My SONNY is a boy and I'm not sure he'd appreciate being adorned with flowers lol. But, Abbey might make some for her Piper! :)
Great tutorial
Thank you!
What type of fabric did you use again called ?
I use everything from quilting cotton to seersucker. You can use any stable woven fabric.
When you sew the middle part so it's tight around the bow, do you hand sew or use your machine? Thank you 😊
I use my machine with the zipper foot.
@@InsidetheHem Thank you! I'm new to sewing but looking forward to trying these after making some dog bandanas. Just need to figure out which one is the zipper foot! 😂 Thank you!
Best tutorial out there! Clear and concise :)
+Warriors aww. Yah. Thanks. Glad you liked the tutorial.
Would like to have dimensions of material for each size dog please.
That info is in the description box.
You can use white velcro too.
I having trouble finding double sided velcro that I can use with my machine. What do you use and where do you find it? Thanks ☺
There’s a link in the description box! :)
Do you happen to have a size for an even larger dog? Say a Mastiff or a Great Pyrenees? I see in the description sizes for small, med narrow, med wide, large narrow, and large wide.
I don’t. But you could just add to the largest size. They are just rectangles. Go as big as you want!!
Love it ❤
Hi love this video, can you provide the type of interfacing used in the bow or a link to something similar? I'm new to sewing. :) ty!
Sure. You can find something called SF101 from Pelon at almost any fabric store!
@@InsidetheHem great tysm!
What dimensions would you use for an XS pup
Those are in the description box!
Bailey, did you get the dimensions for an XS pup?
How can a one side of velcro stick together?? Don’t understand about the Velcro part
It's a special kind of velcro. It sort of just sticks to itself if that makes sense. It isn't the traditional hook and loop stuff.
What’s the name and where can I purchase that Velcro because my local fabric store does not carry it
@@noreencheckie3568 "Velcro-one wrap" is the name
what are the dimensions for the middle piece???
What do you use if the animal doesn’t wear a collar?
You probably can’t use these without a collar or at least something that ties around their neck.
How would you make a bow tie with only one strip of Velcro in the middle
it's the type of velcro. this one connects to itself. click on the product link in the description box to see what I mean!
Nicely Done
awesome tutorial. 5*
Love the tutorial, but confused about what kind of velcro you used.... Help, please
+Dee Palmer that info should be in the description box. There should be a link to the exact kind that I used.
Thanks! I am making a bunch of these and even altered to make my son one he wore for Christmas.
Heather Thompson I have a husky puppy and I'm making her a bow because she's a girl husky puppy
Do you hand sew the middle piece? I am new to sewing and not understanding how to sew that
Hi, Marissa! So happy you are trying this tutorial. You don't hand sew the middle. You sew it on your machine and then slip it over the bow part. But, you can hand sew it if that's easier for you!
Hi was wonder about the size for small dogs if I want a wide bow would I add an inch
That would work!
Easy and precise.....I just subscribed ❤️❤️❤️
What size would the pattern for a very small dog be for the bow and center?
This has been asked and answered in the other comments! Thanks for watching!!
Love this tutorial! Thanks so much! Any tips on how to sew a tight center piece? I am a sewing machine newbie and can't seem to get a clean stitch very close to the bow.. help!
Does your machine's needle move left to right? Also, do you have a zipper foot? I would use the zipper foot and place the needle so that it lines up with the edge of the foot. That should get it nice and close for you!
thank you! the zipper foot worked like a charm!
Cool. My son lives there. Dmtri. Chrls.. Anaya.
How do you sew close enough to the middle of the bow tie (strip) to seal it off? I'm having a lot of trouble and feel stupid :( The closest I can get it is still quite far and I'm left with a loose middle strip. Should I just hand sew it?
HayGurl Hay I’ve been having the same problem 😢
I tried hand sewing the strip then turned it around and it worked out well!
Are you guys using a zipper foot or your regular sewing foot? Using the zipper foot allows you to put your needle at the very edge of the needle and therefore very close to the seam you want. Try that and see if it helps!
See above!
Thanks for your tip! I'm a sewing newbie :D
Where did you get the fabric? And what kind is it?
Just some scrap cotton I had. No idea what it was. This video is from a long time ago.
Oh, that's ok. No worries 😁
Sorry I am new to sewing... What is the stuff you added to make it more stiff called?
fusible interfacing
did you use double sided velcro?
Yes. The exact kind is linked in the description box!!
@@InsidetheHem thank you! I hadn't spotted the description box, but have found it now! Thank you for taking the time to reply. Ordering velcro tonight!
You’re welcome!!! Have fun making the bows!!
What are the sizes please for the medium wide
The sizes are in the description box.
what interfacing do you use
For something like this, Pelon SF 101.
@@InsidetheHem Thanks so much
Do you have patterns to make larger bows?
+Shy Soper sorry, no! Just the ones here.
Nice video, but your fingers are actually covering up the measurements for the difference in boy and girl bows. What size should I use if I want the small bow, but more narrow for a boy dog?
+AngelEntertainment1 thanks!! all of the measurements are in the description box!
Thank you. I am not that You Tube savvy lol So, I guess a 4 x 6 1/2 for small boy bow. You only have one size for small and I want one a bit more narrow for boy. Great tutorial. I did make my girls bow ties and they are adorable. I just wanted to make a boy one for someone else's dog.
+AngelEntertainment1 yah. Just a tad narrower for the baby boy! Send us some pics on Facebook or Instagram (or email them to insidethehem@gmail.com)!! Dying to see!!!!
Ok, I will email you some pics :)
where do you find double sided velcro?
Link in description box!
Hi there, Could you please show or mention the measurements for the large bow?? Thanks!
They are all in the description box! ;)
I just looked at the description box, and I see mediums and smalls, but no large.
Eek. I have no idea, then. It's been so long. Let me see if I can dig them up.
Great tutorial!
Where do you get double sided Velcro?
All of that info is in the description box below the video viewer. The "Show More" button if you're on a desktop or a teeeeennnnyyyy tiny arrow on the bottom right of the viewer if you're on mobile.
Follow the link to Amazon! I wish I did this the before I spent 20 minutes searching the aisle at Joann's-LOL!
Porque cuando ponen sus tituriales no ponen medidas,habemos perdonas no sabemos el idimo inglés haburre tanta explicación sin resultados
No habla espanol. Los siento!
Sorry, I don't see your measurements.
I just wanna know how to put it on my dog ... lol
You attach it to a collar!
Oh I thought it was for hair lol
Love your video. About a month back I began helping a friend making bows for her to make some side money. She has since kind of stopped and I have a whole bunch of ribbon leftover. So I set to work just mass producing bows with what I have. Now, I don't have a sewing machine (i so wish I did) and hand sewing can just become an arduous task, so just hot glue mine. But then again these are ribbon. They come out looking super adorable, but I have been trying to find a way to attach my bows to the collar of my baby, Girl. Girl is a short hair dachshund so hair bows are entirely out which is why I set out to put them on her collar. I have scoured the internet for ways to attach the bows and I have to say that your idea is the most brilliant. I tried alligator clips, barrettes, and even just a short length of yarn. The yarn worked the absolute best but wasn't conducive to a dogs active lifestyle. Girl lost a lot of really cute bows and I'm still wondering where in the house she lost them. But I never thought to try double sided Velcro. I found cutesy elastic at Wally World the other day and was gonna try that but I like the Velcro idea because the elastic would make for a second collar which would probably not be too comfortable for Girl. Anyway. Thanks for your video. Loved the idea and I will definitely be using it for my little Girl.
