@ateliermimito #miamimito

© ATELIER MIMITO 2021 This pattern is for personal use only. It is not to be used for commercial purposes.

The MIA tutorial is an easy pattern that allow you to create beautiful bows for a wide variety of use. The pattern comes in three different sizes and two different styles with the option to add a ribbon below the bow so you can create hair bows, clips, headbands and bow ties.

This tutorial also shows how to create a giant bow with scrunchie straps so that it can be worn as wings but can also be used to decorate a stair case or a front door during the christmas period. With a bit of imagination the possibilities are endless!

RECOMMENDED FABRICS

From lightweight to heavy-weight linen, silk satin, tencel, cotton twill, upholstery fabrics, velvet and any fabrics that is relatively easy to manipulate. If making the smaller bows then a lightweight fabric will be best but for the wings it is recommended to use heavy-weight materials or to add interfacing to a light-weight fabric so the bow keeps its shape.

This pattern is a guideline that can be used for a variety of fabrics. Use your discretion for the most appropriate fabric to use and if you are not sure, look up the hashtag #miamimito on Instagram for inspiration.

FABRIC USAGE

This pattern is great for using fabric from your remnant stash. Even the smallest scraps will suit. For the wings you will need about 1.5m x 1.5m of fabric.

Please note: If making the wings with a lightweigth fabric then iron-on interfacing might be needed for the bow part so it stays up and keep its shape.

NOTIONS

• Fabric
• Matching threads
• Rubber band
• Glue gun (optional)
• Interfacing (For lightweight fabrics and for the wings)
• Elastic (For the wings and bow tie)

PDF SEWING PATTERN

Please note: This pattern contains two files. A PROJECTOR file and a PRINT AT HOME file.

The PROJECTOR file can be opened using Adobe Acrobat. Ensure your projector is calibrated and measure the check square to ensure the pattern is at the correct scale. If using dark-coloured fabric, change the colour setting of the projector file so the pattern and text are easier to see.

The Print At Home file can be printed at home with any standard printer at scale 100%. It contains only 3 pages and suits both A4 and US Letter printers. No pattern is needed for the wings. Measurements are given in the tutorial below and can be traced straight onto the fabric.

SEAM ALLOWANCES

All seam allowances are included on the pattern pieces and indicated in this tutorial.
