Recycle dad's old ties or visit a thrift store. Wash them by hand and try some fun tie projects.
Tie Purse
11-12 ties *
*Ties will be thick so use the seam ripper to open the ties and cut out
the lining. This will make the project easier to work with.
Cut the pointed ends off the ties. Starting at the skinny end
measure and cut 14 1/2-15 inches long. Sew ties together one after
another until it is one rectangle.
Trim ends so they are even if needed. With right sides together sew
two sides together and bottom of bag. Turn top edge down and pin. Sew
hem.
Add a tie for a handle by hand stitching.
Pointed Tie Bag
If you want a pointed end on your bag, leave the pointed ends on. When
sewing the bottom edge, turn the points inside toward the right sides
and sew along edge. When you turn your bag right sides out the pointed
ends will show. If you want a longer bag cut the ties 18 inches or as
long as you would like.
