A bow tie always remains one of the most brilliant accessories. Where it is needed, there is always a celebration, celebration or banquet. Almost everyone can sew a refined or bright bow tie with their own hands. After all, there are only two options for such an accessory: a ready-made, already formed tie, or a special strip from which you need to tie a bow tie every time. The first option is much easier to put on, it does not need to be tied and untied constantly.
So, do-it-yourself bow tie.
To make it, you will need two small pieces of fabric. One is about 20 by 25 centimeters in size, and the second is about 3 cm wide and about 10 cm long. The first piece is a blank for a butterfly, and the second is a membrane or a knot. If the selected material is too light, then you should put the entire fabric on a non-woven fabric - a special adhesive pad. This is the easiest bow tie to build , a pattern for him is not needed.
After the fabric is selected, cut into pieces and planted on a non-woven fabric, production can begin.
First we make the butterfly itself. To do this, fold our fabric twice along the short part with the wrong side facing out, and we cut it off.
The resulting seam is placed in the middle and ironing allowances. After the part is turned out so that the seam remains in the middle, and iron again.
Next, sew the ends so that the seam allowances are outside, and iron again. This is the main operation in the manufacture of such an accessory, like a bow tie, with your own hands. Because the shape of a tie depends on proper ironing. Then we form the folds for the butterfly and sweep.
Now you need to sew a knot for a tie. To do this, fold along our workpiece with the front side inward and sew. As in the first case, we expand the membrane so that the seam goes in the middle, we smooth it out. We turn it out and hold the iron again. Next, sew the knot to the butterfly so that the seams are inside. Now it remains to sew the elastic in size - and the bow tie is ready.
Women's bow tie is sewn according to the same principle as men's. But it’s better to use a piece of thin braid or a chain to fix it together. In this case, the tie can always be removed and attached to the hair band or used as a brooch.
The colors for the female version can be bolder than for men, unless, of course, we are talking about a dress for a funny clown. It may be that you need a stage costume where there is a bow tie. With your own hands you can sew this accessory of any size and color.
But it’s not always possible to attend a gala event in a makeshift bow tie. Sometimes the dress code requires you to put on a dress coat, shirt-front and tie a tie with a special knot. In this case, it is better not to use homemade options. The easiest way to buy this accessory is in a special store where men’s clothing for special occasions is sold and there is a real bow tie. With your own hands in this case, you will need to learn how to tie a knot.
