Maybe it's because I've never been required to wear a tie that makes them so fascinating to me. Whenever I wander over to the men's department in a store, I love looking at the colorful, silky ties and all their wonderful designs. It's weird in that this seems like the only acceptable way guys are ever able to display a little flair when it comes to their style. The Professor's Assistant rarely makes an appearance in a tie so when it does happen, I am all delight.
In our video tutorial, Simplicity 4762 tie, I show you how easy it is to create a handsome tie. Not only is it a quick project, but it'll be a quality, handmade tie that looks as good as anything from a department store and can be made on a more economical budget. If you're like me, you'll keep an eye out for wonderful fabric and textures to create a plethora of ties so you can add that little bit of debonair flair to any style. I must be ready, if the occasion should suddenly rise and The Professor's Assistant becomes in need of an elegant tie.

I need to make these, life after the military is fastly approaching for my hubs and they look super nice!
I do love the idea of making a tie that has character and yet adds dignity to a man’s wardrobe. I was thinking of making a tie with whales on it!
