7 Of The Most Lovely Ankara Pinafore Styles For Classy Women


What to do

1. Starting with a small piece of fabric (Approx 10″ by 6″), fold both edges of the long side of your fabric about 1″ inwards, i.e. as if you’re about to create a hem fold. Iron it down to keep it in place.

2. Then fold both short ends of the fabric into the middle of your fabric and iron it down as well!

3. Cut your heat bond strip into small pieces as place them on one side of your fold. Then fold your fabric into two and bind both sides together using an iron!

4. Once you’re done ironing your fabric in place, use your fingers to pinch the middle of your fabric. This will form the bow tie shape!

5. Using a needle and thread, secure your pinch in place. Then sew on a small piece of fabric, to form the core of your bow tie.

6. Once your core is secure, take your elastic band and sew it in place on the inside of your bow tie.

7. Once your elastic band is secure, your bow tie is complete and ready to be worn!
