It's rainy and gray here this week...a nice moody intro to fall. Not so great for photography, but I wanted to get this fun tutorial to you this week!

-
Line up the neckties in opposite directions, as shown. Measure 14 inches from the corner of one tie point to the corner of the other point. Mark with a pin.
-
Pin edges of ties together, overlapping each one slightly over the other about 1/8-1/4" total. *It is important that both ties are the same width and degree of taper for these 14 inches!* Use a wide zigzag to stitch down the center, or stitch by hand. Note: Many ties are cut on the bias, therefore the fabric may give when sewing the length of the tie. Be sure not to stretch as you sew.
-
Turn wrong side up and fold the ties back on themselves.
-
Line up the outside edges and pin. (If your ties are different widths or sewn woodgie, the sides will not line up!) Straight stitch the sides.
-
Now all you need to do is decide how long you want the straps and tie the skinny ends. If you'd prefer a neater look, cut off the ends at the desired length and stitch together.
My ties were each about 3 1/4" wide at the widest point, making the sling just right to carry my camera or a water bottle. These are really easy to make and so much fun.
