Low Back Bow-Tie Top

Happy D E C E M B E R!!!

The happiest month of the year!!

I don't know about you but I love being a little more "dressed-up" during the holidays! Even when I'm just in some jeans, I always reach for a fancier top and a pair of heels. Something that is a little more feminine, something that makes you feel like a girl :)

This is where the idea was rooted. Wanting a comfy top that was still special and dressy.
I started the search in Target looking for a comfy top to refashion and after not finding anything, went searching in my closet. Guess what! Found the most perfect thick cotton top that I had gotten from Target (on clearance) a couple years ago... laying on the bottom of my sweater pile, not being worn. I am sure you can find something too! A solid color would work best (black looks more dressed up) but make sure it's not a knit or silky/ super stretchy fabric (harder to work with!)

I had envisioned this top with a large stiff bow but since I was using what I had on hand, it turned into a more dainty simple tie which I still love! But I give you *creative freedom* to do as you wish! :)

What you need:
-Simple (thicker) cotton or similar top
-Ribbon/sash for the bow
-Sewing machine
-Scissors

Heres the video how-to!!

I hope the videos are helpful for you and you attempt to refashion something of your own!!

Please don't hesitate to ask questions!! Let me know if you tried this or it's something you will try!
