Working at Neiman Marcus the Hubby has come to appreciate the {Skinny Tie} Most of his ties are the traditional wide tie & he was wanting something new. He said to me the other day, "I want a hobby like you, I want to do something creative!" I told him to look around the Blog-o-sphere for some "Man DIY's"
A few days passed, I walked into the living room & guess what I found...my husband...sewing...& ironing!! The clouds opened & I heard angels singing, hallelujah!! So proud of the Hubs & his craftiness!
Justin's DIY {Skinny Tie} Tutorial
 |
Find yourself a good example tie (you can wing it if you don't) |
 |
Use a seam ripper to open your tie & position your template tie |
 |
Use a permanent marker & dot an outline of your template tie |
 |
Cut your batting & equivalent proportions of the actual tie |
 |
Use and iron to smooth out the old creases in the tie |
 |
Make your new folds & set them with your iron |
 |
Sew your tie back together, making sure you don't go through the entire tie, just the back & the batting |
 |
Voila! Your very own skinny tie! |
So impressed that my hubby did this all on his own! This was his first DIY project, I can't wait to see what he comes up with next!
Happy crafting y'all! Linking up
