Not too bad...but they need to be stiffened with fabric stiffener.

Btw, the bow you mentioned liking is called a boutique bow.

yeah I kow, I tried using starch but it didn't work too well. They went limp while I was making them.

This is Carl's bows -- I have not tried them but they sure look nice: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...bows-sale.html

Wow Carl's bows are gorgeous and I love the black and aqua and white and aqua bows. He sells 7/8th's is that to big? I mean right now my pup is 11wks and def doesn't have enough hair, but does 5/8ths fit better?

I would definately order 5/8" instead of 7/8." I get 5/8" for Ben and he is full grown at 4.5 pounds. Some people do like the bigger bows though. I saw someone who made their own extra large bows for their girl and they were really cute. But for Ben, I like to keep them small. I bought some from Ladymom and they are my favorite.

I just bought about 12 on ebay and I love this, (the look of them) the way they stand.

Your bows are very cute, especially the orange/yellow ones.

I have a suggestion to make them poof more; place dowel rods (cut in small sections) or even cut up over-sized drinking straws, inside the loops of your bows.....then stiffen them. Be careful though to move the rods ever so often, while they are drying or they may stick a little to the rods and become difficult to remove.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Carl's (CarlyBaby) bows!! They were the first bows I bought for Mimi girl & am soo happy w/them. They are the perfect 'show' bows. He really does an excellent job...you know that alot of time & care went into making those bows. They're exquiste! The best part...he learned to make them himself!! I also LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Marjorie's (Ladymom) bows! They're so cute & fun...can't order just one.
So...I think your bows do need a little tweaking here & there (like better stiffening)...but keep at it, they're very cute & unique!

Your bows are really cute! I like the daisy ones! Personally, I like them all. I make them myself too and it just depends on the day, I usually like the 3/8 or the 5/8 inch sizes. Good luck! It sure is a lot of fun!
