Description This is the method I used to make my bows for Eternal Sailor Mercury, and similar to what I use for most of my bows, especially the very stylized Sailor Moon manga bows or any bows where rectangles just don't give the right shape.

This is the pattern I refer to in the tutorial. Feel free to print and use as is, or modify it for your purposes!
The pattern is for a small manga style Sailor Moon chest bow.

Recommended fabrics: matte satin or taffeta

Thank you so much for this! I'm using it for a Rena Ryuugu cosplay I'm making and this will be perfect for her bows. I was just wondering if you could tell me the dimensions you used for the butt bow? I'm assuming it's just the same pattern scaled up a bit? Thank you again!

Edit: nevermind. Read the full instructions. XP

for the bust bow on the fold, why does it say 'cut 2 of interfacing?

Sorry, late reply because I never get on DA, BUT it's because doubling up the interfacing makes these bows look SHARP. You don't have too though. Also depends on your fabric and bow size.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'm making a cosplay of eternal Sailor Jupiter and I needed to redo my bows since they are so floppy XC

This looks so amazing <3 I've been using rectangles but this looks so much better with only a little more effort! Thank you for sharing your techniques as always, it helps soooo much!!

Yayay! I hope to see more Moonie costumes from you soon (and maybe on the little one~!) Rectangles work fine for most bows, but the SM manga bows are drawn so oddly.
