Crochet 101: How to make a single crochet bow

Here is the how to video I did for making a simple single crochet bow.

I chained 13 and SC across the chain row(skipping first stitch) chain 1 and turn for 5 rows, then tied off. For the tie I chained 7 and single crocheted across the chain row (skipping the first stitch). I then placed the tie around the middle of the bow and sewed (or whipstitched) into place. Simple and Easy Single Crochet Bow!!!!!!!

I completed my first dress! I used an old bed sheet for fabric, so that I didn't ruin all the pretty and expensive fabric that I have bought. This pattern was pretty complex and somewhat tricky for a beginner. I am super proud of myself for getting it done on my own! I am super nervous, but this weekend I will cut pattern pieces from actual fabric! Wish me luck!
