Stephen our longtime friend and customer mentioned the idea of Patchwork ties to me recently, and at first I wasn't sure how they would look. Then we decided to have some fun with this project; first we cut
hundreds of squares of silk and then sort of like a jigsaw puzzle we placed the different designs side by side on a big table. As time went by different designs started to unfold. When we finished sewing enough squares together we had enough fabric to make any size and construction of a tie.
We then pinned the fabric together to take photos; by pinning the ties together we have the freedom to make the size and construction that the customer prefers. Each tie is unique and requires two days to make. We are making them in groups of five. This month the first five will be
available and then we will make five more for March.
Possibly we will offer the option to have a custom designed Patchwork tie in the future.
