Houndstooth Bow-Tie

My nephew had been asking me for several weeks if I could make a houndstooth bowtie for him. I told him easy-peezy but kept putting it and putting it off. Last weekend, he told me his fraternity brothers were buying ties left and right and willingly forking out $25+ for them. My jaw dropped!! Hence, my newest project. Houndstooth bow ties. The most difficult thing is finding the correct sliders to make the tie adjustable. Off to make 25!!!! Will post on etsy when I can take a decent picture.

On a side note, I now can tie a bow tie!!! Man, it's not easy at first but once you get the hang of it, you can tie it just as fast as tying a regular one. Now, where is a dude who likes bow ties? Not to worry, I'll make some pre-tied ones as well for the dude who can't tie his own and his lady can't either. All I can say is, gurrrrl, LEARN HOW TO TIE A TIE! It does impress the dudes.
