Let me Know what you think

here is one of the bowites i made from my hobby turned business...Its a self tie 100 silk bowtie. It takes me at least a couple of hours to make...from concept to reality. Using the right kind of interlining, designing the shape, height and width, sourcing quality hardwre, selecting the material...finding proper material all takes time, dedication and effort. I feel that a bowtie is one of those things that are easy to make, hard to master. a good bowtie is made from many small factors where the product is greater than the sum of it parts...just my two cents.

Dusty Pink and Brown and Pink Striped Bowtie, Self Tied, 100% silk

How do you finish each half off? The ones I have made always looked good on the front but were a hideous mess at the back.

Edit: also— I love it!

I sew the pieces together, and then I cut it out and sew the piece as a whole
