So I was away last week; flew to Zambia for my Sis’s wedding (only had a week off 😦 ). the moment I got there I had 12 Bow ties to make in 2 days. It was a stretch but with a good technique on my side I accomplished it all with time to spear. And I think they turned out alright 😀

Made this and it was safe to say I increased the dimensions. You know me I love my mistakes, attached a piece below BOOM Cravat.
