While I can’t remember who taught me, still want to comment—it’s been wonderful reading all the comments left by others. They’ve been a treasure house of loving memories. Thank all of you for sharing.

Being a Lefty I never knew I was tieing my shoes backwards, according to right handed people. And whats so funny my 4 kids tie there shoes backwards and their right handed, taught by a lefty Mom. We laughed about it when it was pointed out by my son-n-law who is a lefty and my daughter is a righty and she ties as a lefty.

My mom and dad taught me. My mom is a lefty, and my dad is a righty, like me. It was very difficult for me to follow what mom was showing me, so dad would show me too. I was having such a terrible time learning to tie my shoes. Finally, mom realized something was wrong. Turns out I have a congenital deformity of my thumbs, the joint at the tip doesn’t bend. Mom figured out how to adapt her instruction, and bam, I learned to tie my shoes.

My mom taught me how to tie a bow with the ole bunny ear method. Funny thing is whenever we craft or sew together, she has me tie all the bows.

My Mom and I collaborated to learn to tie a bow. My Mom gave me a demonstration, and I worked on it for 25 minutes. By the end of the 25 minutes, I had finally learned to tie a bow. I was super proud.

Wow, long time ago. I would guess it would have been my mom—probably when learning how to tie my shoelaces.

Janice Smith

March 14, 2015

I can’t remember, but it would probably have been my mom. I have learned a few of ways to make bows and use all of them at various times.

Jane Holleran

March 14, 2015

Wow, I really like the way these bows are done. I used to add bows like this to doll clothes and bigger ones to kids clothing. The problem I ran into after a few washings is the bows would start to look so sad, it was pitiful. I would try and try to get them to look nice again but it was a lost cause. Eventually I just stopped adding them to anything. My granddaughters could change for each holiday or to match the shoes their doll is wearing that day. Great Idea !

I was taught to tie a bow by a nurse while in Hospital,when I was 4 years old.This was during one of many stays in Hospital.The nurses saved the string from around the bundles of baby nappies that the children’s ward used every day.The nurses also taught me to weave the strings,and use these cloths for different things

55 years ago, when I was 5 years. old my Dad spent most of a whole day teaching me to tie my shoes(this was before velcro was invented let alone putting in on gym shoes, called tennis shoes then) and I remember having to tie my shoe strings into a bow over and over again until I could do it, by myself in front of him, I still remember the tears of frustation and it came back to me when I got a letter from my youngest son’s kindergarten teacher asking all the parents to teach their kids to tie their shoes as she didn’t have enough time to tie 30 pair of shoes every day.:)

Crystal

March 13, 2015

My mom tried to teach me. Dad tried too. Both are lefties. I’m a righty. My grandmother finally showed me days before kindergarten started. Shoe tying was a school requirement, and my inability to tie a bow was a source of great anxiety for me. My righty husband and I both failed at demonstrating chopstick use to our lefty son. We went to dinner with a lefty friend who said to our son, “Come sit by me.” Lefty chopstick skills were imparted in about a minute.

My mum taught me to tie a bow when i learnt to tie my shoelaces!
However, when i started putting bows in my hair, it was self taught as i had to do it all by feel. No-one can teach you that skill!!

Ida Meyers

I don`t remember, it`s been a long time ago,but it was probably my mom. She was a seamtress, She made clothes for my 7 siblings without a pattern. I love your website , I`ve made several outfits already. Love to win the BOW SLEEVE TEE!

Cindi

Who taught you to tie a bow? Was it your mom, dad, grandparent, aunt, family friend….?

I really don’t remember. I was kinda young back then lol. I would guess my Mom since she didn’t work.

My mom actually taught me, she’s a lefty, I’m a righty. Believe it or not, my dad lost his left arm in the World War II & was originally left handed also; he had to learn to do everything with his right hand and he was even able tie shoes with one hand! :-)

Hanna

My mom taught me to tie a bow. I learned before my older sister, so that made her finally learn too. ; )

I am old enough that I don’t remember. But since I stayed with my grandparents while my single mom worked I am pretty sure it was one of them. I can’t wait to make this shirt for one of my granddaughters, but I’d love to win this t-shirt for the other.

My older sister taught me to tie a bow and how to sew. She was an excellent seamstress and I spent many hours standing next to her whilst sewing, picking up so many useful tips. We are still the best sewing buddies today.

My mother taught me how to tie a bow. It was to make 2 loops and then tie a knot with them. It was a good starter method but I did learn to tie a bow the way most people do. I have taught my grandchildren the “correct” way to tie a bow. It takes a bit more patience but is worth it in the long run.

Angela

Edie

I do not remember who taught me to tie a bow.
Interesting side note, I found a tutorial for tying bows that is much different than how I tie mine. I wonder how many of us tie bows the “old fashioned way” of “bunny ears”. :)

Cynthia

March 13, 2015

Loved the comment by an earlier poster about being a leftie! Back in the day when little girls wore dresses with tie sashes, we learned to tie a right-side up bow behind our backs. How things have changed! Enjoy reading others comments. I have never to this day have found a pair of left-handed scissors that work well! lol

My dear sweet Mama taught me and also the gift of loving to sew.

Mary Margaret Petty

Who taught you to tie a bow? Was it your mom, dad, grandparent, aunt, family friend – Oh it was definitely my Mom! She’s a gem….My Mom was a stay at home Mom (many years ago lol!) She taught me many things I still do today & is amazed at the technology in the sewing field. She will be 96 on March 18th :o) My Mom is also the one who used to make most of my clothes & when she saw me interested in sewing, she & my Dad got me my own “sewing machine”. To say the least I was extatic! When I was of age to take good care of my own things, I was gifted my Grandma’s Treadle machine for my very own. Oh what great memories! Thank you for your contest and all you at Pixie Faire Team do for us. Kindest regards, Mary Margaret

I don’t remember when I learned to tie bows, probably tying an apron, when I was young all
my shoes had buckles and I know Dad taught me to buckle my shoes and book bag. That is a really cute accent on the shirt.

Lydia

It was my older brother. He is always helping me wih everything I can imagine, and I guess teaching my how to tie a bow was one of them.

EG Hughes

It was the mid-1950’s, and I was standing in front of my dad for the “umpteenth” time asking him to tie the laces on my Molly Maguire type saddle oxfords, when he said something like, "I think it’s time you learned to tie them yourself. Then he proceeded to show me, the single loop, in one hand with the wrap over, through and pull with the other hand to make the second loop. He being left-handed, and my being right-handed, it took me several tries before he brought me before the mirror and me again, this time seeing it in the mirror in a right-handed manner, I got in the next try.

My Grandfather, who was a General actually, taught me and two cousins to tie our shoes all in the same morning. Lined us all up and showed us quite patiently over and over. Three little girls in frilly dresses…lol. Tough military guy who adored his granddaughters and had infinite patience. Miss him still.

Darlene Crawford

Remember the time when we back combed our hair this is time I leaned to tie bows because we had bows in our hair. Thank you for all the free turtorials

Vera

Good one! I am 65+ years old and I’m lucky if I remember to pick up a grandchild from school. However, I do remember that my father taught me to sew. His parents immigrated from Russia in the early 1900’s and his dad was a tailor. They lived in N.Y. at the time. He was so good that women would come with pictures and he could make the outfits.

Maryann Deke

My sister taught me to tie a bow on shoes. First time I actually did it by myself I tied the shoes in my walking doll. I was about 4 and she was almost as tall as me. You held her hand and kinda pulled her a little and she’d walk beside you.

Holly

March 13, 2015

I assume my mom taught me how since my dad worked away from home. I know for sure my mom was the one that taught me how to make a beautiful bow, the ones that hang just right from a pretty dress or apron.

My mother taught me how to tie and sew. Also crocheting.

Donna D

My Mom taught me how to tie a bow on my shoes. But it was my Aunt Audrey that taught me how to tie a ‘fancy’ bow! I was learning to smock and made an adorable dress for my daughter. Since Aunt Audrey was the expert seamstress in the family, I wanted to show her what I had done. She was so complimentary. But in a very sweet and subtle way she taught me the ‘best’ way to tie the bow so it looked special! Sure miss them both!

Judy

March 13, 2015

My grandpa taught me.at age three. He told me if I wanted to go to the barn with him I had to learn how to tie my own boots. I did it it so I could go and watch all the milking machines and the cows.

I had to call my Mom, who got a chuckle out of the question. I don’t remember, but I had a teddy bear that had a big bow on it, and she taught me on that. Mom also taught me a love of all things crafted.

Cheryl M.

March 13, 2015

Not really sure who taught me. But I do remember practicing my skills on my dad’s shoes as he was getting ready for work way back in the late 60’s ! Those laces were very stiff and much harder for a little kid to tie.

Christina B

March 13, 2015

I’m not quite sure who taught me how to tie a bow but if I had to guess it was my Mom. I have learned over the years of making hair bows for my girls that the tiny bow are much different than shoe lace bows.

Suzanne

My mother taught me to tie bows in approximately 1947. She had been writing letters, and she was wearing a “house dress” with great big buttons with bows tied in them. She took me up on her lap and I played with those ribbons, so she took the time to show me how to tie them in bows. It is one of my favorite memories of “together time” with her.

Linda DuBos

March 13, 2015

i taught myself to tie a bow. I remember sitting in a packing box at age four with my little shoe on my foot determined to figure out how to tie a bow. I worked at it, struggled with it for what seemed like an eternity to a small child. Making mistake after mistake until finally one of my attempts was a success. I remember untying and retying my shoe over and over again so I would never forget how I did it.

I believe my answer is “all the above”. I was the youngest of 7 children so of course they all wanted to show off and be the one to claim they taught me.
