{he’s really smiling at the candy next to my camera…. works every time.}
Yesterday I tried out this pattern. It was the easiest, most fun pattern I’ve done in a long time! And with NO hand sewing like other tie patterns. I’m so excited about these, especially now that I’m having another boy. The best part is the pattern comes with 5 different tie patterns, including a tie for Dad so I can make my husband and son matching ties for Christmas! Made with "man" fabric of course.
The ties I made were with the classic guy pattern. The first tie I made with really light interfacing as the pattern called for, but the second tie ( on my son in the picture) I used no interfacing and actually liked it better. With starch it was nice and crisp even without the interfacing. And with my fabric I didn’t cut on the bias, so I only used about 1/3 yard fabric for one tie. Which means each tie cost me like 3 bucks! And the second tie took me under 20 minutes to make. Which means my poor sons are going to have new ties every Sunday for the rest of their lives.
Megan was sweet enough to send me 2 extra patterns to giveaway. To enter just leave a comment on this post before noon on Monday the 23rd. You can also buy the pattern here in her etsy shop or order a ready made tie here. Good luck!

Your little guy looks adorable! I'd love to win this pattern.
I've been wanting to try my hand at making ties, but been a little intimidated by all the steps, the bias, and the hand sewing. You have gotten me all excited to give this one a go. I'd love to win it!
Thanks so much for the giveaway!
I have tried a few tie patterns but have had very little luck. Sounds like this one is what I need!

My little man would look so cute in some new ties!
I love these! I have been looking for an easy pattern to make a whole bunch for Christmas for the nephews and my little guy! Thanks so much for sharing! I love the fabric you used too! Its hard to find great "manly" fabric.
Oh, I wish I'd known about this before I went out and bought Christmas ties!

It would be fun to make my little boy a tie! Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
Very cute!
oh my gosh! i've been scanning the internet looking for tie patterns and then...here this opportunity is!
With so few things to be able to make a little boy I"m glad to see this!! I think my baby boy is almost old enough for a tie :)
oh - i would love to win this pattern! I especially love that it includes bowties!
It would be so fun to make matching ties for my husband and son. I love the fabric you used on your son's tie.
Oooh! What a great pattern for little boys! It's so hard to find patterns for boy stuff!
How cute - and he is just adorable too! Love all the different styles too - what a great giveaway!
Too cute. I would love to win this. I love that it comes with the big guy tie too.
What a great range in this pattern--I've always been scared off by the bias/hand sewing business. Now that my guys have girlfriends--and the possibility of going to dances--they are again interested in ties (but not Dad's). Thanks for sharing how well this pattern works.
This is adorable! I'm expecting (gender still a surprise) and even though I'm hoping for a girl, everyone else KNOWS it's a boy, so I better start collecting boy stuff!
Oh I would love it!!! Dad has to wear ties to work - so I think my son would love to be just like him!
What fun! I have 3 little guys who would look super cute in one!
Oh I love it! I would love a tie pattern!
This is great - it is always fun to find a nice pattern for boys and their dads - love it!!!
Gran idea, hermoso regalo, anoteme para participar.
Oh my gosh the idea of matching ties makes me drool...
I love the fabric you chose!
Love it!
Oh. My. Goodness. So adorable! I might have to get that pattern and add another project to my to-do-before-the-holidays list. :-)

I love your tie! I have this fabric and didn't think my husband would like it very much:) But my son is a different story. This would be a great pattern to win. Thanks so much for the review. Not a lot of fabric and no interfacing makes me happy!!
Do you think my husband would totally rebel if I made him and my son matching ties?? maybe....but it's worth trying:)
Oh, I would love to win this pattern! My boyfriend asked me to make him a tie and this sounds much easier than some of the others I have found!
Oh, please, can't I win? My 4 year old is so hard on ties. I'd love to be able to make him some!
Cute!!! and I could so use this tie for my two little guys. All the ties I have are just too long.
Those ties are adorable!
I would love to win! I really enjoy your blog and find it inspiring. I am currently working on an hourglass quilt following you tutorial... :)
I'd love this pattern. My hubby would be so proud to go to church matching with his son!!

Lovely pattern! Thank you for the giveaway!
What handsome boys you have!!! So far just one boy in the family, but I expect more to come!
My husband is a pastor and even though he doesn't like wearing ties he sometimes has to. I have often thought they looked too complicated to make but this looks like it would be a great pattern. THanks for the opportunity to win. New to your blog and love it. Thanks again.
That is great! I never thought I could actually make a tie :D Yours is too cute :)
those are adorable! they would be perfect for my little guy!
What a great idea -- little boy ties in great fabric that you choose!
oh this pattern could knock of few gifts off my Christmas list! and get rid of a few unsightly ties I can think of in my hubby's wardrobe! Thanks for a chance.
I've been on the hunt for a tie pattern! I am thrilled to read your review and learn how easy it was...it's a must have pattern on my list!
How cute is that!!! I really really want this pattern!
That is so neat! No kiddos for us yet, but my husband has three ties (and has only worn one of those three to every wedding, church service etc for all 7 years that I have known him!) Looks like time for a new tie!
Thanks!!
WOWZA!
What a cool pattern to have!
I can't wait to sew ties galore!

I'd LOVE to make my little man some ties--he is just getting old enough to wear them--can't wait!
That little guy has the most beautiful eyes! Very handsome in his cool new tie! I make matching dresses for my granddaughters and now I see the possibility of a matching tie for my grandson!
