First you'll need a bow tie template.. it should look sort of like this.. you can download them from various sites. i got this one from Google images.
you'll need to cut 2 of these
-
2
place these two pieces right sides together and sew most of the way around, leaving a 2" gap. iron it flat and turn it out the right way.
-
3
hand sew the gap closed, and fold it.
how to fold:
fold it in half and iron it. fold it flat again, bring the centre back lines into the fold lines and sew. -
4
cut a small rectangle of matching fabric, and fold the raw edges into the middle and iron. wrap this around where you've sewn in the center of the bow tie and sew
-
5
now cut a bigger rectangle that will reach comfortably around your neck, thats about 2 inches thick. fold it in half and sew down the length
-
6
sew one end of this rectangle to the back of the bow tie, then sew a snap fastener onto that. sew the other half of the snap fastener to the other end of that rectangle.
