my first handmade tie

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!
