Interesting tie….. If I had to wear a wooden tie, I would Cut a rectangular length of fabric, such as flannel or fleece. Fold it in half over the width, (so that you have a long, skinny piece.) Sew the long edges together, close to the edge. Then turn the whole thing inside out (you’ll have to use a long stick or knitting needle to do so ). That leaves you with a tidy, thick but narrow tube of fabric with the seam on the inside. With that, you can either cut the elastic and sew the fabric to the ends of the elastic, or cut the fabric in half and add two velcro tabs, behind your neck and sewing the other ends to the elastic. No matter what you do, if you cut the elastic, it really should be machine sewn to the fabric. If you don’t sew, ask someone who does, because the elastic/fabric joint will fail if it’s not done properly. If you use velcro, don’t use it to attach the elastic to the material. Elastic to material joint – sewn, likely so that the end of the elastic fits inside the end of the fabric tube. fabric to fabric joint – velcro Don’t go crazy with the velcro, because it would not be comfy on the back of your neck. Make sure the velcro is narrower than the fabric and that it doesn’t touch the outside edges of the fabric. This would not be a huge project – about 30 min or so for someone proficient on a sewing machine. Hope this helps -- No, I don't want to buy the pink hammer. |
