And although your bow ties look fabulous, it must be a relief to not have to make more!!!!!<br /><br />Like you, these short cold winter days have me thinking it's bedtime before it's reasonable to go to bed. But I am enjoying the twinkle lights in the evenings, and even sometimes in the early mornings! Christmas is the best part of winter! Then, give me a long spring and summer please!<br /><br />Blessings, dear heart,<br />Violet"Create Beauty"https://www.blogger.com/profile/13351220132065841813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-6365431677500710892014-11-30T15:42:38.777-08:002014-11-30T15:42:38.777-08:00You gave it a good try and that is all one can.

At least you have made the tie and with an easier fabric to work with...you could create some stunning ties! There is a lady here in Ky that makes ties and customizes them with paintings...big $$$$....so you may want to keep sewing and find some paints!<br />DebMosaic Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715004978582753127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4775144085133236065.post-55829259004084210672014-11-30T06:45:46.839-08:002014-11-30T06:45:46.839-08:00Well, the bowtie looks okay to me, but since you h...Well, the bowtie looks okay to me, but since you had such a hard time with it, I can imagine your frustration and relief in not having to make any more. I'm often asked why I don't sell the things I make and it's because I don't want the stress of deadlines or having to finish things. Now, I give when I want to who I want as I want. I don't worry about the season or the time of year or the holiday. I just do it. And if I don't, well then no one but me knows that, right! :) Happy holidays.

For some reason he loves bowties, LOL!!! I have a few tutorial/patterns for a child size bowtie. I hope mine turns out. At least I am using a cotton fabric that is more friendly to cut and sew. <br />The bowtie you made is very pretty. I know that fabric is not easy to work with.Daryl @ Patchouli Moon Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187456682218408410noreply@blogger.com
