This is one of the most exciting orders that I’ve had: six green bow ties for a wedding in August. I just finished them up tonight and will make a few children’s bowties for them as well. The bride has already promised to share the photos with me and I cannot wait!
Oh where oh where could my dining room table be?
Also, I’ve been experimenting with fabric pouches to put the ties in. I like this one. Thank-you very much Ikea scrap bin!
The online store will be up and running hopefully by early next week. I’m going to need YOUR help in getting this thing off the ground. More on that to come. I’m having so much fun with this and my creative juices are flowing like mad. It makes me really happy. Please feel free to share your thoughts and suggestions.
Until the store is up, ties ($23) and pocket squares ($18) can be ordered by e-mailing me at ellielaveer@gmail.com
Cheers.

These are so unbelievably CUTE. I have been planning to make a bowtie for my 10 year old son, and was wondering what fabric to use.
We go to a very casual church, but my son loves to dress up in a suit and tie. He has some regular ties that he wears, including some of my collectible vintage ties, but he really wants a bowtie. When we shop at a particular thrift store, he always looks through the ties and asks if he can get one of the nasty wedding bowties there. I can’t wait to make him one (his birthday is next week). I might just make him a seersucker tie!
How wonderful that you found such a great little niche market!
