Neckties have become popular over time due to their elegance and affordability. Most people prefer making the neckties for their loved ones other than buying them from boutiques. Such consideration requires one to follow through the right steps to create an ideal product. Here are guidelines for making handmade couture bow ties to acknowledge.

You need to purchase products such as a fabric, sewing machine, a bow tie pattern and threads in different colors. A quarter of a yard fabric is enough for a standard necktie.

Use the surface to scale the pattern to the desired size. Most lines have black lines which indicate the proportion of the wearer. Tape the two pieces that you get together and get a single piece that shows the blueprint of your necktie.

Check whether the sides are consistent and trim them to retain their uniformity before you sew them up.

Sew up the interface and the fabric. One should leave an allowance of one centimeter along the edges for seaming. Fold the material into four parts and use the pieces to fold them leaving the sides at the center facing the same direction. Those with more extended fabrics should fold the material further to put the edges facing outwards. Pinch the bow-tie at the center to create a crease. Wrap the pleat and sew it to secure it.
