Since a bow tie is a rather small item, precision with sewing is key to a good result. Any slight difference between the upper and lower part of the bow will stand out. Um gute Ergebnisse zu erzielen, fand ich es immer sehr hilfreich, die Nahtlinie auf die Einlage zu übertragen und dieser beim Nähen zu folgen.
Later in the construction steps, you will be asked to press your fabric. Sei dabei bitte vorsichtig, damit du deinen womöglich empfindlichen Stoff nicht zu viel Hitze aussetzt.
It's a good idea to try pressing some fabric scraps before you start. Dies erlaubt dir, die richtigen Hitzeeinstellungen für den verwendeten Stoff zu finden.
This pattern includes a grain line. Der Fadenlauf ist hier größtenteils dafür gedacht, um mit der Einlage verwendet zu werden. Da jedes Teil des Schnittmusters mit Einlage versehen wird, ist der Fadenlauf des Oberstoffes nicht so wichtig. Du kannst hier auch vom Standard abweichen, um einen informelleren Eindruck zu erzeugen.
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. Das ist sehr nützlich, wenn deine Hemden nicht alle dasselbe Halsmaß/Kragenweite haben oder wenn du manchmal gerne Hemden trägst, die etwas mehr Zugabe am Hals haben.
Da die Fliege mit den rechten Seiten des Stoffes zueinander konstruiert wird, muss das Ganze am Ende von innen nach außen gedreht werden. Du solltest vielleicht erwägen, eine kleinere Nahtzugabe wie 6mm (¼ inch) zu verwenden, um die Menge an Stoff zu reduzieren.
Put one of the Collar Band parts on one of the Bow parts, right sides together. Align the ends of both parts. Now sew across the end to join the parts.
Lay both the sides you made on top of each other, right sides together. 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. This can be a tedious procedure. Take your time and be gentle. It's easy to push too hard and rip stitches or fabric.
Now all that is left is closing the little hole we used to turn the bow tie right side out. You can do this by hand with a slip stitch, or a ladder stitch. Or you can use the machine and stitch right at the edge of the band. 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. The ribbon should be 290mm long. 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.
Then use the back of a large crochet hook, or some other appropriately long skinny object, to turn the two parts right-side-out through the ends. 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. This can be a tedious procedure. Take your time and be gentle. It's easy to push too hard and rip stitches or fabric.
Now we need to add the two pieces of hardware that make the bow tie adjustable. 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.
First do the part without the ribbon. This is because the fabric tail of the ribbon piece will have to go through the oval part before sewing on its hardware. If you would do it in the other sequence, you may not be able to feed it through.
