A man's tie in the history of its development went through several stages: a semblance of a ribbon around the neck, as a confirmation of the status of a man, neckerchief, which was tied in all sorts of ways and knots, frill, lush collars with ribbons and so on ...
Jesse Langsdorf(an American entrepreneur) patented a tie in the form in which it is still widely used today: sewn from three slanting parts. This significant event took place in 1924, since then the fashion for the width, the color of the tie has changed many times, but the main trends in the cut have remained.
Is one of the few accessories available in business style... Sew ties from various materials: silk, wool, mixed fabrics, polyester. Many women wear men's ties with pleasure and very skillfully, although manufacturers also sew them especially for women.
I have a weakness for men's ties made of natural silk - I have a whole collection of them. Sometimes my friends give me ties, friends, acquaintances give me those ties that have become irrelevant. I buy silk ties at sales for 2-3 dollars apiece - I can’t walk by ... And now I have accumulated a considerable collection of ties that are simply bored in the closet. Well, why don't they turn into material for needlework ...
On the Internet, I once discovered a photograph of a woman's jewelry that can be used to refresh a plain sweater or collarless blouse. The author of the idea was not listed, but, to be honest, I only reproduced this idea in the first version of the decoration.
We need:
- tie;
- a needle and thread to match the tie;
- button or brooch;
- tailor's pins;
- ruler, crayon (optional).
The second option, which was born quite by accident: I pulled the thread with which the tie was sewn, and ... we look further.
You will need:
- tie;
- a needle and thread to match the tie.
Good, high-quality ties on the back are sewn, as a rule, with sparse stitches and very strong thread. If you pull this thread, the tie is gathered in beautiful folds. Especially soft and delicate folds are obtained on wide ties made of natural silk. It is almost impossible to break the thread with your hands - it is very strong.
1.
We are looking for the first stitch on the wrong side of the tie from its wide side. We pull gently by the thread and form the folds to the length we need. You can also pull off the tie at the right distance from the narrow side, making counter folds.
And also where did this accessory come from and what it meant. Now we are touching on a completely different topic - what to do if the tie is worn out, or just doesn't like it? What to do with the heaps of ties presented to her husband, which absolutely do not suit him? It's a pity to throw it away, there is no one to give it to anyone, even tie them up with tomatoes in the spring! Dear ladies, there is a way out! And not alone. Ten ways to use wisely the old "cravate", as the French call them.

Another option for those who are fond of patchwork. You can cut ties into rags and sew a pillow cover out of them, or you can cut them into even ribbons and weave them beautifully.
Step 1
But! Work ties - only dry-cleaned, they cannot be washed, you can see for yourself what they turn into.
Step 2
First, we strip off all the tags and fasteners.
All ties are hand-sewn with a strong thread, so you just need to pull this thread and the tie will open.
We take out the inner gasket, but do not throw it away, it will be useful to us too!
And we rip off the triangular pads at the ends of the tie.
Step 3
Italians have a tradition of throwing out old furniture before the New Year, my husband gets rid of old ties. Therefore, I have a lot of them. This is good - they will be enough for me for the whole year.do it yourself
We iron both the gasket and the tie from the inside out.
Step 4
We begin to mark the tie from the narrow end. Divide the tie in half lengthwise and set aside 4 cm in both directions from the middle. Cut off the excess.
We continue the lines to the wide part. It fits 4 strips of 4 cm. We cut the tie into strips. Since the tie is made of jacquard, more often silk, dense and cut along the bias, we will get wonderful ones!
Step 5
At the ends of the segments, we cut the inlay at 45 degrees.
We fold the ends of the beys at right angles and grind them. It turned out three seams.
Iron the allowances and cut the protruding ends.
Voila! We got 4 meters from one tie.
It remains to wind the bias tape into a roll and pin it off with a pin.
But that is not all!
Step 6
From the tie strip, which is also cut obliquely, you get excellent sliders for jackets and coats!
We cut out two window frames 20x5 cm. They can be used in jackets and coats.
Out of 5 ties, I made five pairs of skateboards and a 20 m thick silk bias tape with a small pattern, which is great for:
Edging of allowances and waistband of trousers and skirts;
Edging of the bottom, stand and slits of the sleeves at the shirt;
Decorations on the inside of jackets and coats.
do it yourself
I have a whole chest with such slanting inlays and tie-rollers, which I constantly look into when sewing coats and jackets. They help me out a lot! Now they will help you out too. In addition, this greatly saves the sewing budget, because for the edging of one coat, you will have to buy at least 0.5 m of silk jacquard, and the prices for it bite!

Photo of crafts of a tie
Surely your dad has a whole bunch of old ties. And although their condition may still be quite excellent, the shape and style have long been outdated. Yes, and today no one wears such colors. We suggest remaking old ties into a stylish pillowcase for a sofa cushion.
As a rule, ties were always sewn from very high quality silk, unusually durable fabric. These traditions in sewing real men's accessories have remained relevant to this day. And it plays into our hands!
The author of the master class suggested alternating ties of only two colors. It is unlikely that you will be able to find several ties of the same color and pattern. It doesn't matter - the alternation of completely different ties can create an even more interesting composition.
Let's finish the conversation - get down to business!
Step one. Decide on the location of the ties. Especially responsibly approach this issue in the case of different ties, with different patterns and motives and different colors. The success of getting a stylish pillowcase made of handmade ties actually depends on this planning stage.
Step two. Sew together the previously laid out ties to create a one-piece fabric. If possible, use the machine zigzag stitch, if there is no sewing machine, sew ties by hand.
Step three. Cut one side of the pillowcase out of the canvas. In order to save ties, the reverse side can be cut out of ordinary lining fabric.
Step four. Sew on the four sides of the pillowcase. Leave a small opening on one side for turning and filling.
