You've got your answer anna, have fun doing them, I like bikermom's idea of the nude silouettes, haha. Hugs and a flower for you sweetie.

Years ago, I got on a "tie" kick and made a bunch. Seems as if ever male in the family got one for Christmas. My thought they were home made rather than a designer original, so I gave
, them up.

743283I know part of the answer the design goes towards the bottom of the tie, just check out any ties in stores w/designs, but does anybody know how to make a tie? I can't find a pattern and hubby is not thrilled with letting me take one of his apart. His favorites are the Rush Limbaugh ties, expensive but cool. Found a pattern for nude silouettes which he loves and would like to put them on a tie. Any clues?

Gotta add a third vote here for going with the thrift store idea. Not only will you get your tie for your pattern, but you will be helping out the less fortunate in your area (since that is who is usually the benefactors of thrift stores, in my experience). Remember, when you cut out the tie, cut it on the bias of the material. Otherwise, it will be most difficult to get it to lay flat and look nice. I also recommend that you embroider the designs BEFORE you cut out the tie itself, since that makes it easier to make sure the design is exactly where you want it. =] Good luck with this project, and be sure to post a pic when you are done, ok?
