Bow ties!

Yes, bow ties.  These beauties were made from vintage neckties; the two outside ones are all silk, and the middle is all wool. 

I really love these ones, the one on the left in particular.  As in, I love it so much… I won’t be selling it.  UGH, the problem of trying to make awesome things for money is sometimes they’re too awesome.  And I always want more bow ties.

But the other two and more will be available to purchase this weekend at this pop-up shop!  Hooray!

OH HELLO.
I have not posted in a very long while as I have not been making bow ties in a very long while.  However, I’ll be part of a pop-up shop at Untitled & Co this weekend, and will be making bow ties today (appropriate shirt is appropriate), so you should totally come and buy bow ties from me!  Also, there will be tons of other stuff: wearables, art, design, jewellery, etc etc.
Also, please note that in this photo you can see a shadow of one of my bow tie patterns that is hung up in front of my window.  Cool.
