A tie has long ceased to be the subject of an exclusively male wardrobe. Ladies wear it with pleasure. Sometimes, for a certain image, a girl needs a tie of a specific shape and color, and there is nowhere to buy it. This article presents patterns of accessories of various types: long with an elastic band and a butterfly-samovyaz.
The oldest tie in the world
The word “tie” came to us from the German language: halstuch literally translates as “neck scarf”. The latter was indeed a prototype of the accessory.
The oldest ties found in China. In the 70s, this became a real sensation. The Chinese peasants, who were digging a well, found an amazing burial place - the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang-di, who ruled around the 220s BC. e. By tradition, the ruler in China was buried with his army. Qin Shihuang-di did not want to destroy the faithful subjects and ordered to make copies of the soldiers and their horses. The first semblance of ties was found in the tomb on the necks of the mock-ups.
Elastic tie
And is it so difficult - a pattern of a tie with an elastic band? Let's figure it out.
- We draw the pattern as shown in the photo. Add along the fold line.
- Cut out the pattern. Then we turn it over and mark the place where the lining will be.
- At the end of the manipulations, the pattern (tie) should look like this.
- We lay out pre-ironed fabric. We cut the tie obliquely.
- Take a piece of non-woven fabric and glue it with an iron. This is necessary so that the accessory retains its shape. We will tuck the corner and stitch.
- Fold the tie along the fold line and stitch.
- The workpiece must be turned out and ironed.
- Measure the width of the top of the tie. If necessary, trim it with scissors.
- We cut out the knot: we need a strip equal to the double width of the upper part of the accessory, plus a small seam allowance.
- The part must be strengthened with non-woven.
- Fold it in half and sew.
- Turn and iron so that the seam is centered.
- We smooth it back and cut off the unnecessary.
- We spread the knot with a trapezoid and sew on an elastic band.
- We put the tip of the tie into a knot and beautifully straighten it.
As you can see, the pattern of a tie with an elastic band is very simple. In order to create an accessory, you will need elementary skills of a seamstress, fabric and a sewing machine.
Do not forget that such a tie can only be worn in an informal setting. The accessory is considered an alternative to the classic form, which must be tied. A tie with an elastic band is suitable for boys, women and men as part of a stage costume. For celebrations, as well as in the business world, it is customary to wear classic models.
Now let's move on to the bow tie. Sewing a bow-shaped model is easy even for a schoolgirl. This does not require a tie pattern.
Let us dwell on a more complex form - the butterfly-samovyaz.
Types of Samovyaz Butterflies
There are several varieties of such accessories:
- Butterfly is a classic of the genre.
- Large Butterfly is a chic solemn option. The tie is slightly wider than the classic in width, but completely repeats its shape.
- Modified Batterfly - A modified form of the first option. The waist of such a butterfly is slightly narrower than that of a classic accessory. As you know, it was worn by Winston Churchill.
- Batwing is a butterfly shape that differs from Butterfly in the absence of a “waist”. When untied, it resembles a bat.
- Batwing - Diamond Point - a mixture of classic shapes. The size is the same as the Batwing model, and the waist is the size of the Butterfly.

In this workshop you will learn how to create a classic accessory.
Tools to be prepared for work:

Materials:
- non-woven;

Let's figure out step by step how to sew a tie with your own hands:
- The pattern for each person is built individually. Take the necessary measurements and build a pattern according to the scheme. Cut it and pin it to the fabric from the inside.
- Circle the contour with a seam allowance (7 mm). Cut out the part.
- We put the workpiece on the fabric and pin it with studs. Together with the allowances, we cut out three more such details. There will be four of them.
- Four parts are also cut out of non-woven fabric.
- We glue the non-woven blanks to the fabric using an iron.
- We sew the parts, folding them face to face, leaving a small hole for turning out. Before turning the workpiece, we cut off all excess fabric and corners. You can also make several cuts at the bend points.
- Unscrew the bow tie with a long object. Close the hole with a blind seam.
- Velcro can be sewn or glued to the ends of the butterfly.
