Create something with neck ties

Mary Insana on Jan 04, 2014You can make a quilt or pillow with the ties. Do a search for quilt from ties to get some ideas. I've made "memory" pillows for clients before. I open up the ties, gently wash by hand and when they are dry press them. I've had the best success sewing the tie fabric on to a sturdy fabric like muslin or an existing pillowcase cut to the size you want your pillow.Helpful Reply

Cher @ Designs By Studio C on Jan 05, 2014Several years ago, I sewed neckties on pieces of muslin and made a tailored vest. I'm not sure if I still have it but if I do, I'll pass along a photo!Helpful Reply

Emma Taylor on Jan 05, 2014I was at a craft show before the holidays, and a woman there had made large flower brooches out of neckties. I don't know how she did it, but maybe an internet search would give you directions.Helpful Reply

Carrie on Jan 06, 2014I too think a memory quilt would be wonderful. I'd cut a square from each tie and make a pattern to complete the quilt.Helpful Reply
