SKILL LEVEL

Great for anyone, even if you’re just starting out with sewing. My goal was to keep the process as simple as possible, because the other necktie patterns that I’ve seen felt complicated… with extra steps, interfacing, and excessive hand sewing. You’ll be amazed at how quickly these ties come together! And how cool they look.

FABRIC and SUPPLIES

For each tie you need:
• 1 yard of OUTER fabric
• 1 yard of LINING fabric
• small amount of twill tape or bias tape (optional)

This pattern is aimed at 100% quilting cotton because it’s an easy fabric to work with, gives your tie an everyday look, and comes in so many cool prints. But feel free to use beautiful silks, brocades, and whatever else catches your eye!

Most of the fabrics shown in this pattern are from the Boardwalk Delight collection, designed by Dana Willard (myself) for Art Gallery Fabrics. You can see all the details HERE.
