How I made the Pussy Bow

Ha probably some of you have realized that I'm trying to pull a fast one with my Biba DIY project. Not that this pussy bow has anything to do with Biba fashion but I was at my wits end with coming up with something Biba-ish to make. 

I keep a box of old garments and they really come in handy when I need some fabric for my DIY projects. This blouse with stripes pattern I'm using was relegated when it didn't fit well after several wash. 

Step 1: Cut out two long rectangular pieces of cloths, each 10cm by 60cm.

Step 2: Sew the two short ends together to get one long rectangular cloth.

Step 3: Fold the long rectangular cloth into half, with the wrong side facing out. Iron the fold flat so that it will be easier to sew the edges later. 

Step 4: Pin the open side to keep the folded cloth in place during sewing.

Step 5: Cut diagonally across the two short ends of the cloth.

Step 6: Sew along the edges of the long folded strip of cloth but leave one short end open.

Step 7: Reach into the opening and pull the cloth out. The right side of the cloth should be outside now.

Step 8: Seal the opening with fabric glue. I think this is playing cheat. Hee, can any sewing guru please enlighten me? How do I close such opening the right way?

Last step: Tie a ribbon with the sash you made and stuck it on any outfit with a pin.

Don't fasten the pin to the ribbon and you could use this sash as a belt or hairband. Thanx for checking out this post!
