Zipper Bow Tie

Based on Zipper Bow Tie by Cat Morley
I love how mine turned out, thanks for the great idea! (see Zipper Bow Tie instructions by Cat Morley). Note: my main bow loop was made with a ~10" rather than 7" length. This made for about a 4+" finished bow width, which was easier to work with re: the wider metal zipper, and looks in proportion on the neck. I started with zippers that were about 16" long, and hand-sewed the cinching zipper closed at the back center of the bow. I also used a wide fabric ribbon for the neck instead of a 3rd zipper. Now it just needs a party invite... :-)
