FABRIC and NOTIONS
For each Tie you need:
• 1 yard of OUTER fabric
• 1 of LINING fabric
• small amount of twill tape or bias tape (optional)

FABRIC TYPES
This pattern is aimed at 100% quilting cotton because it’s an easy fabric to work with, gives your tie an everyday look, and comes in so many cool prints.  But feel free to use beautiful silks, brocades, and whatever else catches your eye!

SKILL LEVEL – Beginner + All sewers!

My goal with this pattern was to keep the process as simple as possible, because other necktie patterns I’ve seen feel complicated…with extra steps, interfacing, and excessive hand sewing.  You’ll be amazed at how quickly these ties come together!  And how cool they look.

Everyday Necktie Pattern by Dana Willard on MADE Everyday 11

  1. 1) Penny

    LOVE the pattern, Dana. And because you made (pun? intended? haha) it, I know it will be an easy, fun pattern to make (and make and make and make!) Love that there are 3 sizes! Off to buy it now! You continue to rock!!!
    Have a great day.

  2. 2) Melissa

    Very handsome! I especially love the tie made with the Washi print- so playful and bright.

  3. 3) Brittany

    Such a fun pattern! I love it in your playful cottons, however, is there a site you would recommend for purchasing silk? I’d love to be able to make my husband a work-appropriate tie and, sadly, I don’t think his coworkers are ready for ‘eat it all’ ties just yet…

  4. 4) Lori

    Hi. I’ve made 2 ties already. Had my husband try them on. From my husband’s perspective it is difficult to tie and make a consistent knot. And a bit long in length. We noticed that it is wide on both ends and thinner in the middle. We compared it to a store bought skinny tie and it also gets thinner in the middle but stays thin. I was curious as to why your pattern is wide on both ends (back side is smaller than front side). Thanks!

  5. 5) Joyce

    Thank you for showing this, it helped me a lot! I love your video, I’m gonna watch more about sewing .

  6. 6) Danielle

    Do you have a tutorial or a pattern for a bowtie? My son and some of my nephews love wearing bowties and I would love to make them some cool ones!

  7. 7) Anna

    I love this pattern! One question, do I need an interlining to stiffen the tie when I’m using silky fabrics? I’m worried it may stretch and warp. Thanks for any advice you can give!

    • 8) Dana

      Awesome! I’m glad you’re having fun with it!
      Yes, you could use a medium weight cotton for the lining if you have a very lightweight exterior fabric.
      Or even just a stiffer quilting cotton would work.

    Need pattern how to make a Men’s Bow Tie

    Hi Dana,
    I need to make this tie for a 19.5″ neck size. Thinking I may need to add a few inches somewhere but not sure exactly where. Can you help? Thank you!

  10. 11) Donalda Brown

    I wish to purchase the skinny tie pattern…however I do not have PayPal…could I send you a money order?…
    If you will allow this…I will needed an address to send it to…
    Thanks for your time…Donalda

    • 12) Dana

      You can purchase patterns with a credit card through my shop. You don’t need to have Paypal.

  11. 13) imberley

    Has anyone figured how many ties they can fit on the one yard? I assume several boys or teeen ties and one mans tie.

    • 14) Dana

      I haven’t measured that on a yard of fabric, but yes, you can probably get a few ties out of one yard, since the fabric is cut on the bias.

  12. 15) Karissa Garr

    This is a followup to a previous comment –
    Do you think I could get one men’s tie and one boy’s tie out of one yard of fabric? My son is almost 4, and I would love to make matching ties for him and his dad. Do I need to buy more than one yard of each fabric?

    • 16) Dana

      Yes, I think that would work! Since the pattern pieces are cut on the bias, you end up with unused fabric, so yes…if you’re cutting one or two more, I’m sure you can make it fit!
      Have fun sewing 🙂

  13. 17) Janeen

    Hi! I love the simplicity of your pattern and I’m considering buying. Can you tell me the width of the teen and adult ties at the thickest at the bottom? I would greatly appreciate it.

    • 18) Dana

      Hi Janeen,
      Here are all the dimensions. I added these to the shop listing also:

  14. 19) Jane

    Hi! I love this pattern and I have made a few ties for my husband using quilting cotton for both fabrics. The problem is that my husband says he has a hard time tightening the tie properly. He says it feels too bulky. Should I be using a lighter fabric for the lining fabric or the main outer fabric? If so, what do you recommend for pairing with a quilting cotton?

    • 20) Dana

      Hi Jane,
      Yes, I would use a lighter weight broadcloth or lawn fabric for the lining. Just go to the fabric shop and feel the fabrics, so you can find a weight you like.
      In general though, a cotton fabric tie is going to be a bit bulkier than a silky tie.

  15. 21) Lucy

    I looked here at the comments for how many ties you could make with one yard of fabric. Then I laid out two yards and all the patterns (boy, tween, man) on the fabric and I’m pretty sure you can fit at least one of each tie if you lay them all side by side.

  16. 22) Philip Osborne

    Just wondering if anyone has tried adapting this pattern to have a mitred tip on the tie? I love that this pattern doesn’t require hand stitching all the way up, but I do like the mitred tip on the more traditional patterns.

  17. 23) Amanda

    Hi! I wanted to purchase this pattern, but when I click on the link, it is no longer working. Can I still purchase this pattern somehow?

  18. 25) Alicia

    I’m interested in this pattern. Do I have to do any hand sewing? Or can it all be machine sewn?

  19. 26) Laura

    Hi, I just made the pre-teen tie from your pattern. When I turned the tie inside out and pressed it, I felt that the lining inside was not smooth and bunched up and there is no way to straighten it out and make it smooth because the lining is inside. Please help me! Any ideas?? Thank you!
