Easy Peasy Tie pattern

This tie can be made in minutes and has only 10 steps.  The pattern is also adaptable to any size.  So if you have a last minute christmas party or want matching ties for pictures here is your 30 minute fix.

What you need
1 yard fabric(this gives you enough to cut with the grain, acros the grain or bias cut)
1/2 yard light weight interfacing--Stacy is recomended (this will be your pattern and interfacing)
2 inches of 1/4 ribbon (for tie holder on back side)
an old tie

1- on interfacing trace the old tie in two halves...big point half and small point half
2- add 1/4 inch to the pattern piece for seam allowance.  I measured 1/4 inch out every couple of inches and then used my cutting ruler to match marks up and make the full pattern.  You can see my tracing in black and my 1/4 inch addition in orange

3- cut out 2 pieces of each half along with the interfacing

4- iron interfacing to wrong side of one piece of each half
5- on the back piece of big point measure 6 inches up and attach ribbon.

6- fold both  narrow ends of  the big point piece down 1/4 inch to the wrong sides.  This will be your finished edge of the seam.

7- sew big halves right sides together leaving the narrown end open.  Turn right side out pushing out points.
8 - sew little halves right sides together leaving the narrow end open.  turn right side out pushing out the points.
9- slide small half into big half.  egde stitch closed.  This stitching will be hidden by the collar.

10 - iron
