bowtie

Last night, I attempted to make a bowtie for Daniel to wear to a black tie party on Saturday. I found a pattern online via an LA Times article. - here - I used left over Crepe Back Satin Black from his wedding vest. Here is my first attempt. The first piece came out too small so I made the second side a little larger. I tied the bowtie and had Daniel try it on.

In my second attempt, I think I overcompensated and made the whole thing entirely too large and when I had Daniel try it on, I was on the floor laughing and could not stop!
