Fig. 4 Sew cord 7ieatly in, as illustrated, and repeat the same process on the other edge of fabric, and also on all other lengths, the 22^ inch by 7 inch pieces being destined for loops of bow. Hi inch t 7 ins. Fig. 5 Cut your third length into two equal halves, thus making two lengths measuring i i|-irches by 7 inches, the one piece being for the extra short loop, the other for the tie-over one; repeat directions for Figs. 2, 3, 4. Take one length of the velvet, place galon ] inch from edge on wrong side, and sew on to the piping cord (being careful not to take stitches through), repeat the same on the other side, and on 'remaining four lengths. The separate pieces (Figs. 4 and 5) being now completed, we proceed to shape our bow. Fig. 7 Double over the two longest lengths {right Ac l>cmg outside), and sew as illustrated. Fig. 8 Join the two longest loops together. Fig. 9 Sew the bow (the two long loops that have been thus joined) to the centre front of the crown of the hat, taking stitches through crown to ensure firmness. Fig. 10 Make one of the remaining small pieces of velvet into a loop, and sew on to right side of crown. Fig. ! I The tie -over plays an important part in the success of the bow. To attain this tie- over, take the last short length and sew on to brim of hat about i| inches from the crown (not allowing stitches to show through the brim). I Fig. 12 Throw the tie-over in an artistic manner to meet the loop on the right side. Fig. 13 Catch end of this tie-over very neatly at j the back of the loop and sew firmly. ' I must impress on my readers that i although great neatness and exactitude ' must be observed in the measurements and j finishing off of all trimmings, they must j not be too much sewn on to the hat itself. |i
