Since a bow tie is a rather small item, precision with sewing is key to a good result. Een klein verschil tussen de onder- en bovenkant van de strik valt meteen op. To get a great result I found it very helpful to trace the actual seam lines onto the interfacing and follow that while sewing.
Tijdens de constructie zal gevraagd worden je stof te strijken. Please be careful that you are not using too much heat on a delicate fabric that can't handle it.
Het is een goed idee om een paar restjes stof te strijken voor je begint. This will allow you to figure out what is a good heat setting for the fabric you are using.
Dit patroon heeft een draadrichting. This grain line is mostly there to be used with the interfacing. Since each pattern piece is interfaced, the grain line of the fabric itself is not so important. You can even change this from the standard for more informal impressions.
By default, this design makes a fixed-length bow tie that is the right length for a certain neck size. However, by enabling the Adjustment Ribbon option, it can also make a tie that uses an adjustment ribbon and hardware that makes the bow tie adjustable to different neck sizes. This is useful if not all of your shirts have the same neck measurements, or if you sometimes like shirts with more ease in the neck.
Since the bow tie is constructed with the right sides of the fabric against each other, the whole thing will have to be turned inside out. You probably want to consider using a small seam allowance of 6mm (¼ inch) to reduce the bulk.
Put one of the Collar Band parts on one of the Bow parts, right sides together. Leg de uiteindes van beide delen gelijk. Stik langs het uiteinde om de twee delen te verbinden.
Leg de beide helften die je gemaakt hebt op elkaar, met de goede kanten samen. Sew all along the edges, but leave an area of 5 cm open in the middle of the collar band. Through this opening we will turn the bow tie right side out.
Then use the back of a large crochet hook, or some other appropriately long skinny object, to turn the two sides right-side-out through the little opening. Start by gently pulling the two fabric pieces at the end of the bow apart. Then push the end of the bow up between the two pieces of fabric. Keep gently pushing while pulling the rest of the tie down over it. Dit kan een beetje vervelend zijn. Take your time and be gentle. Te hard duwen is snel gebeurd en heeft scheuren of gesprongen naden tot gevolg.
Now all that is left is closing the little hole we used to turn the bow tie right side out. Je kan dit met de hand doen en een blinde steek gebruiken. Je kan ook de kraagband net aan de rand doorstikken met de naaimachine. Since this will normally be hidden by the collar of your shirt, it will not be all that obvious.
The first thing to do is to sew the adjustment ribbon to the Short Bow part. Het lintje zou 290 mm lang moeten zijn. If it is different, you have to make sure that you align it such that the ribbon and short bow piece together are as long as the long bow piece.

Nu is het tijd voor de twee stukjes hardware die de vlinderdas aanpasbaar maken. The oval loop piece will be attached to the part without the adjustment ribbon. And, the piece with the T-hook will go on the part with the ribbon.
Begin met het deel zonder lintje. This is because the fabric tail of the ribbon piece will have to go through the oval part before sewing on its hardware. Als je het in de andere volgorde doet krijg je het er misschien niet door.
