So, maybe you want to make an easy cosy for your iPod or iPhone (or maybe you don’t, who knows… you ARE fickle…) from one of the vintage ties you’ve been unconsciously stashing, knowing they’d come in hand for something, someday?
Just so happens I took some pictures as I was making mine, because, well, that’s what we do, isn’t it?
First of all, let me just say I hope you’ll use this more as a general guide than a hard & fast ‘How To’ – I just sort of made it up as I went along & can see now there may have been better/neater/easier ways to do it, so read through & come to your own conclusions, you’re a clever bunch, and most much more cluey about sewing than I!
(Note for above: Some ties will be tacked on the inside, you may need to unpick a little & re-sew the front seam… or, if you’re lazy like me… choose another tie…)
Totally cute, wish I would have had this before I got rid of all my vintage ties that I used when I was a server. This would have been perfect.
ReplyDeleteI think there MUST be a tonne of uses for old ties Amanda; well, atleast I hope so, I keep collecting them...!
ReplyDeleteI have a bag of ties that were my Dad's. Thank you for this clever idea and tute. I think a few family members will be getting these for Christmas - and I know they'll LOVE them.
