I am amazed by the meticulousness of the instructions. I think even a beginner to sewing could competently construct this bowtie. And it is just great now that I have it on file that I can make it in different sizes, confident that it will turn out exactly the size displayed in your print-off. I could have made this without the instructions but I would probably have had to readjust my measurements and hence wasted a good deal of time. So thank you so much for this and if you have any more free downloadables I would love to know about them. Also your book for girls looks fab so cant wait until I have a grandaughter to make for and will then order it so that was good putting the link on the pattern page!
