Aug 09 Ribbon Colors to Match Janie and Jack’s Orchard Harvest

*REVISED 9/12/09: I have updated this post to use Chalk Violet rather than Dark Orchid, as it is a better match for Janie and Jack’s “Fall Lavender”.  I also added Milk Chocolate (Mud Pie is good too) as it appears in some of the print details (but is not a primary color).  I’m still happiest with Spring Moss for “Dark Harvest Green”, while it’s not quite perfect, it is the best of the color samples I have.  I hope that’s helpful!

Feel free to comment with a link to your M2M Orchard Harvest hair bows or accessories incorporating these colors – I’d love to see your designs.

FREE Hair Bow Pattern: Medium M2M Hanna Andersson’s 2009 Medallion Dress

I’m in love with this pretty Medallion dress by Hanna Andersson, so knew I’d need to make matching bows.  This pattern makes a medium sized (about 3.5″ wide) bow that you can use for any variety of crafts or embellishment:

• For the bottom layer: cut one 19″ length of White grosgrain ribbon 1.5″ wide

• For the middle layer: cut 4″ lengths of each: Lt Navy 5/8″ wide grosgrain, Shocking Pink/White stripe 5/8″ wide grosgrain, and two 4″ lengths of Shocking Pink dot 7/8″ wide grosgrain ribbon

• For the top layer: cut one 15″ length of Lt Navy 7/8″ wide grosgrain ribbon

• Wrap center with O Pistachio grosgrain ribbon.

Color help:

S = Schiff brand grosgrain ribbon

O = Offray brand grosgrain ribbon

Need help?  Post a comment and ask away.  Need a pattern for a different style bow, or to match another line?  Let me know.  If you have designed a different style of bow to match Hanna Andersson’s Medallion dress, post a link in the comments, and show it off!
