This was a really great and clear tutorial! Really appreciated that you explained WHY you chose sew-on interfacing instead of iron-on, I learned something very useful! 🥰
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have almost no sewing experience but I really wanted to make a better bow for my Sailor Moon costume. Your tutorial was so easy to follow. I absolutely love how my bow turned out! ❤
This is a very simple and clear tutorial, especially for a beginner like me, im gonna use this tutorial to make a bow for a dress im making, thanks for the tutorial! :DD
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!! I decided to make sailor senshi bows for my dog's collar and this is, like, the perfect tutorial!!! I liked, I commented, I subscribed, and I'm desperately awaiting your future success so I can't point back here and be like "Yeah, that million-subscriber cosplay tutorial RUclipsr? I was apart of the first five hundred!" Much love!!! ❤
Thank you so much for this video! I'm making a cinderella dress and this helped so much with her bow that she wears in the parks!! Thank you again! 🥰🥰🥰
Hello. I just saw your video, it is very well explained but there is one thing I don't understand. 1 minute 30 after the start of the video, you make a diagram with the measurements. what does (5/A) mean? I would like to make Sailor moon cosplay for me and sailor chibi moon cosplay for my daughter. thanks in advance
Hello! I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you on this question! You need to pardon my bad handwriting, it's meant to say S/A which is short for Seam Allowance!
I used a heavy-weight interfacing, but it depends on the look you want your final bow to have. If you want it very stiff, go for the heavyweight interfacing, but if you want a floppier bow, use more lightweight interfacing instead! 👍🏻
Im new to sewing and this was very useful! I need to attach this bow to a dress shirt while being able to remove and put it back on again, how do you recommend I do that?
@@LabrysLover thank you for watching my video! In terms of attaching a bow and taking it off/putting it back on again, I’d recommend sewing some snaps onto the back of the bow and to the shirt so you can easily pop the bow off and attach it back into place. Depending on the size/weight of the bow, you might need a few snaps, or more heavy-duty ones to do the job. Hope that helps!
Thank you for watching! Interfacing is basically a woven fabric that is put behind fabric to make it stiffer or thicker. There are a few types of interfacing - iron-on interfacing has a glossy side that you put face down onto fabric and iron over, and the heat makes the glue side melt and stick to the fabric. Sew-in is interfacing without the glue, which you have to put into fabric by sewing it. It should be available at almost all sewing stores. Hope that helps!
Thank you for liking my video! If you go to 1:28 you are able to see the measurements I ended up using for the bow, with the finished size as well. If you want bows bigger or smaller, I also suggest trying to make them out of paper first to get an idea of the size!
Hello! Sorry for the late reply, I thought I’d replied to this comment when I liked it! I actually stuck a bit of felt to the back of the brooch and sewed it onto the bow, since a simple pin wasn’t up to the task!
Both of the replies you've received have helped a lot! (Sorry for the late answer!) I find if I have an oversized bow or the fabric is rather heavy I use heavy-duty clips.
That depends entirely on how large you want the bow to be! If you're making something like this sized bow (like for Sailor Moon) I used about 2 meters of fabric. I'm sorry I don't have an exact answer for that 😅
Hello! Thank you for watching my video (as old as it is!) In terms of interfacing, I used the stiffer kind because I wanted some really out-there proportions! If you’re wanting more of a soft-looking bow, I’d recommend going for soft interfacing. I’ve also used multiple layers of soft interfacing for making stiffer bows when hard interfacing wasn’t available. I hope this helps!
Sew-in interfacing is thin, loosely-woven stiffener that doesn't have an adhesive backing, so you have to sew it in instead of ironing it onto fabric to stick to.
Any fabric is suitable for bows! Personally I recommend going with something that has a little bit of body so that the bows want to stand up some easily with the interfacing, so stay away from anything too light like chiffon and organza!
Hello! If you skip to the video time at 1:35 you should be able to see the finished bow measurements, and the calculations I made. Don't forget, they're without the seam allowance that I added (which is the S/A), so make sure to add that too!
I'm making a sailor moon cosplay and I really don't know how to make the bow I tried some other tutorials but they didn't work I really hope this one works ☺
You could always try to sandwich some stiffer fabric inside instead! Fortunately interfacing is very cheap to buy and available at every fabric shop I've been to!
please make more tutorials! this was one of the most helpful tutorial I’ve ever watched!
I came back from the dead just to reply to this comment and thank you ♥
@@GiorgiaCostumes haha thank you! really appreciate it

what sew-in interface did you use? How thick/strong is it?

This video slay!! Thank you so much
I had one question, how did you tie the brooch without damaging the bow??
Hello! Sorry for the late reply, I thought I’d replied to this comment when I liked it! I actually stuck a bit of felt to the back of the brooch and sewed it onto the bow, since a simple pin wasn’t up to the task!
would love if you made a pattern to this!! love the video
I might just have to do that! Thank you for the suggestion! ♥
Hi. Thanks for the tutorial. How do I attach the bow to a dress and make it detachable
Detachable bows usually use safety pins or clips. Velcro works for smaller bows but it's not as attractive when you don't have the bow attached
If you find large enough button snaps you could probably very easily make it detachable that way!
Both of the replies you've received have helped a lot! (Sorry for the late answer!) I find if I have an oversized bow or the fabric is rather heavy I use heavy-duty clips.
Thanks! I used this tutorial to make a bow for a cosplay!
You're very welcome! I would love to see your finished bow!
Omg, thank you very much, you saved my life
You're very welcome! If you end up making a bow, I'd love to see it!
Thanks for teaching us!!
You're very welcome! ♥
Amazing! Thanks for the tutorial!
You're very welcome! ♥
Super beautiful and Wholesome
Thank you so much! ♥
how much fabric should i get if i’m making the front bow and back bow..?
That depends entirely on how large you want the bow to be! If you're making something like this sized bow (like for Sailor Moon) I used about 2 meters of fabric. I'm sorry I don't have an exact answer for that 😅
I love this tutorial. Thank you
Thank you so much for watching!
Hello! I don't know if you'll reply since this is an old video, but I wanted to ask what kind of interface you use. Is it the soft or hard kind? :0

You're far too kind! 🥰
I love it 💕 you are my hero
Thank you so much!
What is saw in interfacing. Is it paper violin

What fabric would you recommend?

*giogiaCostumes* can you give the your bow measurements?
Hello! If you skip to the video time at 1:35 you should be able to see the finished bow measurements, and the calculations I made. Don't forget, they're without the seam allowance that I added (which is the S/A), so make sure to add that too!
@GiorgiaCostumes I was trying to understand and I found it hard to understand but I get It thanks❤❤🥰
So good!
Thank you so much! 🥰
Where can I find sew in interfacing?
You should be able to find it at your local craft store or anywhere that sells fabric!
super useful, thank you!!
You're welcome! ♥
Thanks! My mom bought me one today it black and it has pearls but o need this tutorial coz’ my cousin asked me for one but my mom didn’t allow 😊
Now you can make as many bows as you want!
Thank You so much !!
You're very welcome! Hope this tutorial helps!
I'm making a sailor moon cosplay and I really don't know how to make the bow I tried some other tutorials but they didn't work I really hope this one works ☺
Best of luck! If you make a bow using this tutorial I'd love to see it!
I'm bad at math, how to you figure out the formula for right size? I'm trying to make a bow for my toddlers cosplay
I don't math, so usually I just cut a piece of paper into a rectangle and pinch it in the middle to gauge how it should look.
What if i dont have interfacing :,)
You could always try to sandwich some stiffer fabric inside instead! Fortunately interfacing is very cheap to buy and available at every fabric shop I've been to!
thank you, it was really well explained and pretty!
Thank you so much! I hope it helped somewhat!
Amei posta mais vídeo só tem dois
