From necktie to stylish sash

 



Hi co-refashionistas! It's a good day because: A. a new series of Great British Sewing Bee starts tonight, yay! B. it's Kings day in Holland, which means a day off, free markets and lots of tompouce eating going on (Dutch pastry, famous for complicated eating) and C. I can share my last project with you!

I'm sure some of you have also thought about using neckties for refashions. Well, so have I and I recently ran into some nice matching neckties in a thrift store. I decided to transform them into a stylish sash. And while I was working on that, I was in for an unexpected surprise...



I've got some more plans with neckties, but I'm also curious about your ideas. What would you do with old neckties? Let me know in the comments!



You're very welcome to check out more details on my blog on vermaakster.blogspot.com. You'll find a detailed explanation in Dutch and English.

After reading your post and admiring your project, I searched all over to find the Great British Sewing Bee. Unfortunately, it's not available for viewing in the U.S. Darn!

That's such a shame! I'm sure you would have loved it! (sorry, that's not helping:))

That skirt is amazing. I love it. I saw a top made from ties once. They were all sewn together and then the widest part was used for the bust.
