Sewing patterns: Skinny Tie tutorial

Tutorial

Working at Neiman Marcus the Hubby has come to appreciate the {Skinny Tie}

Most of his ties are the traditional wide tie & he was wanting something new

He said to me the other day, "I want a hobby like you, I want to do something creative!"

I told him to look around the Blog-o-sphere for some "Man DIY's"

A few days passed, I walked into the living room & guess what I found...my husband...sewing...& ironing!!

The clouds opened & I heard angels singing, hallelujah!!

So proud of the Hubs & his craftiness!

Justin's DIY {Skinny Tie} Tutorial

Find yourself a good example tie (you can wing it if you don't)

Use a seam ripper to open your tie & position your template tie

Use a permanent marker & dot an outline of your template tie

Cut your batting & equivalent proportions of the actual tie

Use and iron to smooth out the old creases in the tie

Make your new folds & set them with your iron

Sew your tie back together, making sure you don't go through the entire tie, just the back & the batting

Voila! Your very own skinny tie!
