Mens Skinny Tie

My husband has been a wonderful supporter of all of my crafting! He has been great with letting me spend some money for supplies as well as creating a few messes all in the name of crafts. So, when he requested I make him something for a change, I did some researching on what to make a dude. Making girly things is pretty easy. There are lots of things to make a girl. Guys are a bit harder. So, while on Pinterest, I found this awesome blog with a tutorial on how to make a Man's Skinny Tie. Knowing that Skinny Ties are making a comeback, I decided to give it a try.

Supplies

• 1/2 yard fabric of choice (if your fabric is less than 60" wide, another 1/2 will be needed for the lining)
• If your fabric is pretty thin, you will also need 1/2 yard of lightweight fusible interfacing

First, print out all of the pattern pieces that she was so kind to provide on her blog. Cut them out. Tape them together and start cutting out the tie. You should have four pieces of a tie.

Sew the two outside pieces together in the middle. Do the same with the lining pieces. 

Then, sew the two pieces together, right sides in. Leave a small opening to turn it right side out.

After you have turned it right side out and have adjusted it, iron it down so it lays right. Then, fold the sides in towards the middle. Either slip stitch up the entire length of the tie or use stitch witchery to hold it together. 

Voila! Now you have a fashionable men's skinny tie! I have now bought more fabric to make him more!
