Neckties
July 5, 2008
Making ties for the wedding party and dads turned out easier than I thought. Preparation takes the most time; planning how to cut, especially with my hand dyed silk, is the first step. Cutting the tie and then the guts is more time consuming than the machine sewing portion. All in all I spent the better part of two days making these, all while watching/listening to “Rear Window”, “Vertigo”, “Be Kind Rewind” and a couple episodes of “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”. I feel like I never need to watch TV again.

One satisfied customer:
Just imagine that tie but with a nice dress shirt, black jacket, shaven face and trimmed hair. Same groom, though. This one hangs a little funny… I will fix that.
I’m more satisfied with these than I am with the rehearsal dinner dress, but less satisfied than I am with my wedding dress. I can live with that!
