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

admin — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 14:39:40 +0000

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!

Hanna Andersson Line Identification

admin — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 02:30:06 +0000

All Hanna Andersson line ID information has been enhanced and moved to:

I Heart Hanna – which is my new line ID site, let me know what you think! (Ribbon matches will remain on Way to Bow, soon to be updated and expanded here).

At I Heart Hanna, you will find:

A huge library of Hanna Andersson clothing photos organized by year, season and collection
Collection information (colors, styles, close-ups of fabric patterns etc.) for the last several years – this effort is ongoing
ID tips like how to know if your long johns are the old loose fit or the new snug fit, how to date your items by the type of tag they have, and how to tell if your item is a “special make”
Color names and codes

If you are a Hanna lover, check it out and contact me if you can help:

identify items (especially older ones)
donate your own pictures of items not yet included in the library (I will gladly watermark them with your name, website, eBay store or ID, or crop out any faces to protect your privacy).
share pre-2006 catalogs (scanned or hard copy). If you mail them to me, I will gladly scan them and mail them back to you!
