MAKES PRETTY COLLAR BOW

Smart Neckwear Easily Fashioned From Two Yards of Satin Ribbon With. Knots of Contrasting Color.

A natty little bow can be made from about two yards of satin ribbon, half an inch wide. Cut pieces of three and a half inches each. Double each one and sew across the end, then gather along one edge taking the tw’O folds together, pull thethread tight, and fasten. This makes a little round piece like a flower. In and about the center of this make five French knots of some contrasting color. Sew four of these on to a short narrow bit of something stiff, like whaleoone. covered with silk. Gut two more pieces of ribbon three and a half inches long and one of four inches. Fasten one end of each to the covered whalebone, under the round pieces, the longest being in the center. On each of the free ends sew a round flower piece, with an additional one in the middle of the center bit. Sew a small safety pin on the back of the whalebone.
