Instructions
-
First find the perfect layout for your ties. Mix patterns with solids and line them up side by side. Then, lay them skinny end to fat end and fat end to skinny end. Overlap the edges a little and pin together.
-
Using your sewing machine stitch a straight line from one end to the other until all the edges are sewn down.
-
Since the ties are cut on the bias the fibers will stretch and the runner will lay flat the longer you use it.
-
And there you have it, a neck tie table runner perfect for the next family gathering. Thanks Dad!
