Patterns, Techniques, Articles, Blogs, and other resources to learn how to sew
Amber from M & A blog shows you how to make a handsome tie for your handsome little man. The tie is attached to a velcro neckband, which means easy on/easy off. Wouldn’t this be just the thing for his Easter Sunday outfit? Go to the tutorial.

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.
Does anyone know how I can become a reader of this blog?? I saw this tutorial before and decided to make one and now I can’t. Its only open to invited readers and I really liked this version! Help! Thanks!
Mindy, I’m not sure how that’s happening. I’m able to view the tutorial and I’m not an invited reader. –Anne
Mindy, if you’re talking about the tie tutorial, the website says it is now found on http://www.veryhomemade.blogspot.com. I spent a long time also searching for a good tie tutorial. Goodluck!
The same thing happened to me! I’m so glad I found this site and that someone put the link up! Thanks!
I am so glad there’s another link to the tutorial!! This is the 2nd blog I came across after a google search with a link to the MA blog, but I got the “open to invited readers only” screen as well. LOL
Briana, I second everything you said! SO glad I was able to find the directions! I couldn’t even find a toddler neck tie at Jo Ann’s, so this was a life saver as well as a money saver! It’s so hard to find any ties for toddlers these days.
