D.I.Y with Men's Neck Ties

So Tied Up!!!

#MeSewCrafty

Skirt made of men's silk neck ties? Hmmmmm.

I finished the waste by taking the skinny portion of the ties

and sewing 2 together side by side and attached to the waste.  There are many different versions but I found this tutorial gave the easiest instructions and tips.

Completing this skirt can be time consuming depending on the method of construction and size of the skirt.  That being said......they sure are cute!

Patchwork is Sew Sew 70s

Denim Patchwork Bodycon Dress

Materials: Denim Jeans and leather jackets

I cut 9X9" squares from old jeans I had lying around the house.  I also had a few old leather jackets that I cut and tossed in for good measure.

I measured the circumference of my upper chest, breast and hips.

I then sewed the squares across in strips using quilters 1/4".

I attached the strips by row the length I desired using the same 1/4" seam allowance.

I added a "22 inch metal zipper (exposed) in the back.

I didn't hem the top or bottom so the dress has a slight frayed look.
