Neckties

First you should check out this post by Mary.  The Good HEAVENS neckties from her post are so fun, I decided to try to make something similar for Isaac to possibly wear on Easter.  I plan to put the tie in his Easter basket (he doesn't usually read my blog unless I ask him to proof something so I'm counting on that to keep the tie a surprise).

I found the (free!) pattern for the tie here.  The directions are so easy to follow -- they lay out every step with both written instructions and pictures.

Sorry the pictures are so dark -- they came from my phone which doesn't have a flash.

I embroidered a personalized tag for the underside of the tie (ironic that my free hand stitching is better then my handwriting, dontcha think?!).
