So i have 5 ushers. (maybe 6)
I have 3 of my 9 year old cousins, 2 adult friends - I want them to wear just black suits and then i was going to buy them a red tie to match the girls dresses. I was thinking.... there are patterns for ties right???? could I have the ties done ??? does anyone know where there is a pattern for these?!?!!

These might not be your style but if you contact this vendor, I think you might be able to get exactly what you are looking for.

This listing is for FIVE of our hand-screened neckties, any design we normally stock. All will be the same design, same ink color, but you can still choose a variety of tie fabric colors. If you would like more, we can do plenty, just ask and we'll tally it up for you. Have a huge wedding party of 10 or more? Contact us for our wholesale rate.

Our most popular standard width tie is made of a silky, microfiber, having almost the same hand as real silk. 3.75" wide at it's widest point and 58" long.

I was searching for a cool tie to buy DH before Christmas and remembered seeing those.

Here are some sewing instructions for DIY ties. I have never tried it but from what I understand, choosing a suitable fabric & cutting it out as per the instructions is the key to a successful handmade tie. If not done correctly, the tie will not lie flat or it will be hard to tie.
