The Tie Pattern
The Tie pattern is an Absolute Beginner sewing pattern perfect for menswear.
Fabric recommendations
Light to medium weight woven fabrics such as cotton and cotton lawn for the main fabric and lining. A strip of domette will also be required for the interlining.
Fabric requirements:
Main body of tie – 70cm (for both 140cm and 115cm wide fabric)
Lining – a piece of fabric measuring 30cm x 20cm
Domette – a 10cm x 150cm wide strip OR a 20cm x 75cm piece
The downloadable pattern file contains:
- printable pattern (in both tiled print-at-home and copyshop format)
- printable illustrated instruction booklet
The Tie pattern is either 10 A4/US letter pages, or 1 A1 copyshop page.
If you purchase the PDF Pattern + Copyshop Printing option, you will also receive your pattern printed on A1 paper in the post. Find out more about our PDF Printing Service here.
So what is a PDF pattern?
A PDF pattern is a downloadable pattern that you print yourself at home on A4 or US letter paper. Alternatively you can choose to have the copyshop files printed on large A0 paper, and posted to you at home. If you’re using the A4 or US letter options, simply download, print at home, tape together and let the sewing begin! When you print the pattern, print at 100% (you might have to uncheck the scale box). Print page 1 first, the square should measure 10cm x 10cm.
