Step 1

Cut out a template in a square the size, you want your bow tie to be. Place the template on top of the leather and cut. Remember to make room for seam allowance.

Step 2

Fold the leather and use your sewing machine to sew a seam. You don’t need to sew the entire side – leave a bit of room unsewn to be able to turn the bow tie. After this, fold the seam allowance into the middle and sew both ends.

Step 3

Cut off the corners to make them look a bit pointier, when the right side of the leather faces outwards.

Step 7

Sew the small leather piece around the bow tie by using a needle and thread. If it’s difficult to get the needle through the leather, use a flat nose plier to ease the process.
