This past weekend was Jeff's birthday. I made him a tie with my new print on a hemp/organic cotton. I used this pattern from Purl Soho as a guide, but changed a few things. He's 5'11'' and I had to add 7" to the length. I also added a little tab at the back to hold the end in place, and narrowed the back end as well. I was pretty happy with how it turned out. He said it's favorite tie and wore it to work on monday.

Awesome Jenna! Thanks for including the link to the pattern. I've been meaning to try my hand at making Erick a tie for awhile but hadn't found a good pattern/instructions. This one looks perfect!
oh good! Another tip I forgot to mention- they suggest trimming the pattern down if you want to make it a skinny tie, but I did that at first and it was going to be so super skinny so I had to tweak the seams to make it wider again. The pattern width they give you is wide enough. But you should narrow the skinny end so that it is a straight edge and doesn't flare out. You could make him a tie to wear for your wedding!
Gorgeous! What a lucky birthday boy.
Nice!!
Nicely done! I've been wanting to try to sew a tie for my man for awhile now as well. Thanks for posting the pattern. I'll definitely try it... maybe for Christmas? Haha!
so great! happy birthday jeff!

Maybe you should consider this as a new line. I love this tie and I think it would be a hit for women shopping for their man.

Thank you for the kind words everyone!
I may do a small limited run of these in the near future.
