Happy New Year! Here’s my very last project of 2009 — a men’s tie!
I was surprised how easy it was to make. This project was mostly hand sewn using the blind stitch. If you’re not a big fan of either, it might not be for you. I love the blind stitch and had a lot of fun making this. I know I’ll be making more in 2010 for the guys in my life.
project notes: Stash-enhancement fabric. Purl Bee pattern. There’s a little boy’s version, too. How cute!

This is a very sharp looking tie. I can see it with a blue blazer and a white button down. Add black shoes and belt. The socks I’ll leave to the gentleman.
Any other fashion ideas on this fantastic tie? The needlework, as always, is very professional.
