How to Make a Bow Tie – free sewing tutorial

Bow ties are the perfect accessory for just about any occasion. Sew one (or a few) up for the bow tie fan in your life — they’re quick, sharp, and a great way to use up small fabric remnants for handmade gifts. Minki Kim walks through the construction step by step at WeAllSew.

Bow ties are one of those projects that look fancier than they sew. The construction is fast, and a stack of bow ties in coordinated prints makes a charming groomsmen gift or a thoughtful father’s day surprise.
