Tie Post #3 - The coin purse

Find a fun, patterned tie in an op-shop or an unsuspecting man's wardrobe. I generally go for a pretty dark colour because I carry around a lot of crap around in my handbag and my purse tends to get grotty. Fold the tie over, add a zip, stitch. Voila!

Tie Post #2 - The Tie Top

Start with an old black top which you've already started wearing as a pajama top

Find a tie at an op-shop.


Pin the tie around the collar of the top. Use a loose tension when you're sewing to avoid the tie bunching up
.

Cut a V shape in the back neckline of the top and sew the two pieces of the tie to match the V.



Use the left-over pieces to make two small strips for the sleeves.




Pin, sew and ask Genevieve to model it!
