~a bow-tie for pre-school graduation~

 Today's the BIG DAY!

My little man graduates pre-school.

For his program tonight the teacher has

asked the kids to dress in their best clothes.

Alright...for us that translates into a pair of

jeans without holes and a shirt with a collar. 

We aren't church going folk so he doesn't have

dress clothes. I made a trip to the local thrift store

and got a white button up shirt for $3. I brought it

home and bleached the heck out of it and it

looks good as new. I let him pick the material

he wanted for the bow-tie.....he chose the red with

white polka-dots. Thru pinterest (of course) I

found a great tutorial at "A Lemon Squeezy Home"

(click here to be directed to tutorial)

It was SOOO easy.

Finished in a matter of minutes and using

all materials I had on hand.

 

 Fabric, felt or interfacing, thread and velco 

are the only materials you need.  

He looks so handsome and adorable in it.

I'm pretty sure I'll be bawling thru the whole 

ceremony tonight......... 

 

Wait until you see how adorable the book I made

him turned out! Come back tomorrow to see it.
