Procedure for Making Tie

1. Cut pieces of reinforcement on the bias to the necessary size using pattern. Two pieces will be needed, and can be sewn together. The seam should be pressed open and trimmed down


2. Cut 4 pieces of silk satin from pattern. Assemble as illustrated:



3. Carefully fold and steam silk-satin around reinforcement. Pin down pieces



4. Finish off with a hand stitch going up the back to hold flaps closed. Steam.

Pieces for the tie have been cut, sewn together, and pressed. You can see the crease along the top where the red silk-satin will overlap the reinforcer. After the tie has been ironed as such, the two pieces in the back should be hand stitched in place. The bottom piece has already been hand sewn in place. The top piece should utilize a double blindstitch (see below)
