Some colleagues approached me with a project – they wanted me to use fabric from a dress from Africa to make a big, huge tie for another colleague who was leaving the team. I used the Father’s Day Tie tutorial on Purl Bee’s blog
The dress had a circle skirt which was pieced from several pieces so it was hard to find enough fabric on the bias to cut the tie from. The pieces of the tie was cut directly from a length of the skirt – hence there were stitch-lines right across the front! I used some light-weight polyester fabric from my stash to line the back.
It was a fun project and my colleagues loved it!

Have a creative day, friends.
That is so funny Ady - being extra large anyway and then modelled on Dinoboy, the tie looks enormous!! Purl Bee is a good source of inspiration, isn't it?!
