Here's a purse from ONE silk tie. A wide tie, however! If you want the directions, please send a pm to quilter123 here on cute...she told me how to do it! I think it turned out pretty good. Plan on doing some more. And thank you for the directions, cutie! (Next time I should iron the sheet anything is laying on! Would show better!)

YES!

I saved a box of ties of my Father's. I am excited to get the pattern. I will be making purses for the ladies in the family.
Thanks

I like this so much! I think you started out with a beautiful tie, and love the button closure.

Eine schöne kleine Tasche

That is lovely.

It's cute and lovely! .. and being made in silk, it's also soft. Love it! Hugs, Lidia

Gerry, you did a great job and followed the directions very well....it looks great.....and if you have a 100% silk tie, you will have plenty of fabric to make this purse, just remember it is all on the bias so you must sew it carefully, but they look lovely.....and I am so proud of you Gerry.....will send out instructions tomorrow for the 14 that have sent me PM's....have been away from the computer today.

Tks! I had a good teacher!!

It is lovely - didn't realize there was that much fabric in a tie.

You do need one that's wide. I did one with a more narrow tie, & had to cut the base fabric down to match the amount of material I had! But it still looks good.

Nice upcycling.

Very clever!

Great job, Gerry...I love it...

wow this is pretty neat what a clever idea!

Love it great job:):)

very nice job

DOH !!! and i just cleaned out DH's old ties. Hmmmm mabey down to the Salvation Army i shall go . Thanks 2 both cuties Great idea :)

Looks nice.

Have seen ties made into wrist wallets skirts etc. but not this cute purse.

First I mis-typed the name! It's quilter124! For you gals asking how to send a private message: go to the community; then click on the far right tab saying "private" when that comes up, to the right you will see "Private Message" click on that; when the screen opens there's a place to put "to" and there you type quilter124..then write your message in the other box below. Then "submit" When you get an answer back there will be a +1 beside that private tab, so be sure & check it! To answer back to quilter, you need to do a "comment" to your own message so it will go back to whom every you are messageing with. Hope this is clear & helpful!
