Sewing Patterns For Mens Ties And Bowties

Looking to add a touch of sophistication to your wardrobe? Why not try making your own bow tie with this easy-to-use pattern?

How to:

First things first, print out the pattern provided to ensure accurate measurements. Cut out the fabric using the pattern as a guide. Make sure to leave plenty of extra fabric on either end to create the adjustable portion of the tie.

Once you have your fabric cut, it's time to start sewing. Take both ends of the bow tie and sew them together, leaving a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Be sure to leave a small gap in the middle of the seam to allow for turning right-side-out.

Using a chopstick or pencil, gently turn the tie right-side-out. Press with an iron to ensure a sharp, clean edge.

Next, it's time to add the adjustable portion of the tie. Take a long strip of fabric and fold it in half lengthwise. Press with an iron to create a crease.

Sew along the long edge of the folded fabric, again leaving a 1/4 inch seam allowance. Turn the fabric right-side-out and press with an iron.

Attach the adjustable portion to the center of the bow tie using a small hand stitch.

Voila! Your very own bow tie is now ready for use.
