Bow Tie Complete

This bow tie was so not fun to make. I used 100% polyester that said silkies on the bolt, it was terrible to cut, terribly thin, and when I put interfacing in the bow, all of sudden it got to thick. The picture looks better than the real thing, here is hoping no one notices in real life. My four year old is quite the hit at church, everyone loves his bow ties.

I think he will match quite nicely with his sister.

Green Bow Tie

My brother is about to get married, and my son loves ties. The adult ties are lime green (I think) I was going to try and find one at a store for kids until my son said he wanted a bow tie. So I made him a green and black bow tie. Yes, I made a bow tie!

It was actually fairly easy but about half of it was hand sewing. The center of the bow is a little two wide for his collar opening. I think its the wrong color green, not to mention its a calico not a silky polyester. It was my first attempt with a scrap before I went and bought some material.
