Who knew you could make a tie? Well, okay, I figured you could. But, until I googled it, I had no clue where to find a pattern. Certainly not in my stash.
I found a tutorial at Ottobre Design. The tie was super quick and easy--but I needed to make it much, much longer! I also had trouble printing to the scale they suggested, but that was probably the difference in European paper standards and ours. If (When) I make the LM a tie for his own I will use a lighter silk-type fabric. The left-over taffeta from his sister's Easter dress was a bit thick.
So now a question for any of you that sew: Do you like Ottobre patterns? I was browsing their on-line pattern magazines and wondering just how easy they are to use. How well do they fit? Do you have to add seam allowances?
