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!

My Granddaughter-Aarieon (Age 6) learning to Sew

Singer S90 Limited Edition.

Sewing is a fun and creative challenge to take on, especially with your kids or grand-kids . Children of any age can learn some form of sewing that can get them on the path to eventually making their own complex projects and clothing. The key to teaching a child to sew is to be patient, especially if you are an accomplished sewer yourself. Allow your child to make mistakes to learn from, but also make sure to teach them the proper techniques along the way. HAVE FUN!!!
