The second item I finished during Kids Clothes Week was a tie, to go with the rest of the outfit I’m making for my brother’s wedding.
The rocket fabric was left over from making the waistcoat. I fussy cut it to ensure you would see rockets once it was made as the rockets are quite big compared with the width of a tie. I used a pattern from the same designer as the waistcoat, which has a velcro fastening at the back of the neck.
The ends are lined with the leftover red cotton from the waistcoat lining. It makes it look like a proper tie!
There’s only the waistcoat and tie completed so far, which looks a little odd over the top of a checked shirt, but you get the general idea!
Next up on the wedding clothes list is smart trousers!
