Here's my review:
Pattern Description:
Men's Accessories. Bias-cut neck ties in three widths: 3 1/2" (9 cm), 4" (10 cm) and 4 1/2" (11 cm). Bow tie and pre-tied bow tie have adjustable button closure on neckbands. Cummerbund and Vest include sizes S-M-L. Pleated cummerbund has adjustable Velcro® closure on back belt. Vest has front button closure, adjustable button closure at the back neck and adjustable Velcro® closure on back belt.
I made both the bowtie and the pre-tied bowtie.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes
Were the instructions easy to follow?
Yes. Very straight-forward
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
The only thing I don't like about the pattern is that it calls for buttons on the bowties rather than hooks. I'm not sure how big of a deal that is for the men.
Fabric Used:
The bowtie was made from a brocade I purchased at Joann's a couple years ago. I had made my husband a necktie and my brother in law loved the print/color. When I went back to look for more, there was none to be found. I found a remnant that was just enough to make the bowtie and a pocket hankie.
