Making a Tie

So as I move on in my costume making for Halloween (that is fast approaching) I now find myself wanting to make the tie being that all the ties I am now finding are in the UK and would have to be shipped to the US. -_- So I thought, "why not make one? How hard could it be?" So I went looking around to see!

 From the site listed above it looks REALY simple! (But lets see how truly simple it is when I have to sew it. <_<) But if you go there and look there is NO pattern nor does it help much in the sewing department.

These two sites do help were the other one lacks but, I am picky and I like the other style more then this one. But I could use it and change it to my likings! But I have a general idea with about how much I should buy in fabrics and thread.

This blog not at all helpful in finding out how much one needs to make this and the "making" the pattern is not very helpful am makes it look harder then it should be.

Deviant Art has a VERY simple how to make a tie from scratch! It dosen't tell you how much fabric you need or any thing else that would be needed to make the tie but it help in the idea how how to make your own!

THIS site I feel is the most helpful that I have found out of the others, but I wounder on their sewing skills when I saw a pucker after they were done sewing.

Then it never falls! Youtube! If this is the first time reading a pattern or thinking you need a refreshers course on what every little thing in the pattern means the video called Simplicity Pattern 4762 is a wonderfully done video!!! This is the way I would make a tie, I am not big on hand sewing something that I know I could do in half the time and better on a machine. You don't have to use a Simplicity pattern, you could use others, Butterwick, or some other brand that is on sale or is cheaper.
