Tie Projects

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.

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.
