Create: All Tied Up

(My very first ties)

I love to create.

Every time I make something beautiful I feel like the truest form of myself.

From now on, every Wednesday you can expect some kind of crafty something.

It will be fun, yeah? Yeah.

So, for this very first Wednesday I want to share with you one of my favorite things to make.

Ties!

I love sewing ties.

Back in October I began making ties for my good friend Elder Morgan.

In the Philippines the Elders are discouraged from wearing any "silky" ties because the dye

turns their crisp white shirts into hippie tie-dyed shirts.

So, I took a big girl pill and said "Hey, I think I can do that."

Luckily I found probably the best tie making tutorial in the world on The Purl Bee.

And it came with a free downloadable pattern.

Could tie making get any sweeter? Probably not.

Disclaimer: Each tie will take you anywhere from 2-4 hrs to make. But it is so worth it!

Happy Tie-Making!
