Here's another free sewing tutorial on how to make this Baby Bows.
This little Baby can be added to in many ways too. If you do needle sculpture, cute dimples, creases, and a belly button and bottom are cute. If you do portrait type faces, or any other type of face work, please do so for your Baby Bows if desired. Embroidering the simple face is especially nice for a play or hospital doll.
Baby Bows is meant to be a very simple, quick, baby to make as gifts, for hospitals, as club projects, and to make with children.
