Birthday bowties

My husband's birthday was a few weeks ago, and one item on his birthday wish-list was "spring-colored bowties." Well, I can do that! I found some masculine, yet spring-ish cotton at Jo-Ann Fabrics and whipped these up, once again using BurdaStyle's David pattern.

I altered this one to be more of a bat-wing shape, with pointed ends. I love the way it turned out.

I have plenty of fabric left over so I think Edmund needs a matching bowtie for Easter!
