My friend, Lauren, saw ties similar to these...a really long time ago...and asked me to give it a whirl! Over Christmas break Lauren gave me two of her Dad's old ties, but I was incredibly intimidated at having to hand sew a large portion of it, so I just kept putting it off. When I finally gave it a shot I realized it wasn't so bad! If anything it's really just making sure I put the pleats in the right spot so that it lay's nicely. I picked up a few more ties this weekend to make sure I know what I'm doing...so hopefully I can make a few more, and really get how to make them before I totally move on to another project! One of the ties I picked up is MAROON (VT Hokies?). I'll have to pick up a cute Tech pin at the bookstore to make it a game day necklace. Should be fun!
