Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Rachel from Family Ever After shows how to turn a stack of old neckties into a fun little skirt. The wedge shape of the ties creates an A-line shape for the skirt, and the pointed ends create a cute zig zaggy hem. Get the how-to.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
This is gorgeous 🙂 Will strt to buy ties from Chrity shops especially to make this now
Thanks for the inspiration

I was happy to find this great site. My Dad passed away recently, leaving LOTS of ties that were his, and my Grandfather’s. I want to make skirts for myself and two sisters. Thank you so much for a great site…
