Step 1
But! Work ties are dry-cleaned only, they cannot be washed, you can see for yourself what they turn into.
Step 2
First, we rip off all the tags and fasteners.
All ties are hand-sewn with a strong thread, so you just need to pull this thread and the tie will open.
We take out the inner gasket, but do not throw it away, it will come in handy for us too!
And we tear off the triangular lining at the ends of the tie.
Step 3
The Italians have a tradition - before the New Year, throw away old furniture, my husband gets rid of old ties. That's why I have a lot of them. It's good - for the whole year I have enough of them.do it yourself
We iron both the lining and the tie from the inside out.
Step 4
We begin to mark the tie from the narrow end. Divide the tie in half lengthwise and set aside 4 cm from the middle in both directions. Cut off the excess.
We continue the lines to the wide part. It fits 4 strips of 4 cm each. We cut the tie into strips. Since the tie is made of jacquard, more often silk, dense and cut on the bias, we will get beautiful ones!
Step 5
At the ends of the segments, we cut the inlay at 45 degrees.
We fold the ends of the inlays at a right angle and grind them. Got three stitches.
Iron the allowances and trim the protruding ends.
Voila! We got 4 meters from one tie.
It remains to wind the slanting inlay into a roll and chop it with a pin.
But that is not all!
Step 6
The tie lining, which is also cut on the bias, makes great folds for jackets and coats!
We cut out two 20x5 cm pads. They can be used both in jackets and in coats.
Out of 5 ties, I got five pairs of undercuts and 20 m of thick silk slant trim with a small pattern, which is great for:
Edging allowances and belts of trousers and skirts;
Edging of the bottom, stand and sleeve cuts of the shirt;
Decorations on the inside of jackets and coats.
do it yourself
I have a whole chest with such slanting inlays and tie podkatki, which I constantly look into when sewing coats and jackets. They help me out a lot! Now you will be rescued. In addition, it saves a great sewing budget, because for the edging of one coat you will have to buy at least 0.5 m of silk jacquard, and the prices for it bite!

Tie brooch tutorial
Clean out your closet and find ties that take up scarce space. If you find unnecessary jeans during cleaning, then set them aside to make and sew.
Ask the owner for permission to confiscate the copy you like and start making women's jewelry from a man's tie.
Untie and carefully inspect the accessory. If it seems to you even a little dirty, then wash and iron it. If the iron does not have a special soleplate and a delicate ironing function, iron through a moistened cotton cloth.
At a distance of about 10 centimeters from the wide end, make the first fold at an angle of about 45 degrees. On some products, a label is sewn on the back, which must be torn off.
Wrap the first loop, trying to keep it symmetrical. Secure the loop with a sewing pin.
In the same way, on the other side of the wide end, fold the second loop. Pull a double thread through the hand sewing needle and sew both loops to the wide end with random stitches. Keep the stitches on the front side of the men's tie small so that they are not conspicuous, and the decoration looks neat.
Fold and sew one small loop between the two loops.
Form the next two loops, depicting a circle.
From the remaining length of the tie, add another loop, and leave the narrow end open. Fix the decoration by sewing with a thread.
On the reverse side, sew on all the protruding lines and folds.
Decorate the middle of the men's tie decoration with beads. Sew them in the shape of an oval, imitating a buckle.
For extra strength and to even out the contour, use a needle to pass a double thread through the beads several times, pulling a little. Fasten the end of the thread on the wrong side of the brooch.
Take the almost finished jewelry in your hands and, twisting it, decide how you will wear it. Additionally, decorate with a small piece of the chain, sewing it near the beads so that it hangs down nicely.
On the reverse side, attach a clasp of a suitable size. You can also use a standard pin.
