I hope you have fun making your new bow tie! Remember to read all of the instructions, take your time and have regular tea breaks. Tea is an important part of the creative process! Difculty Rating: Beginner. Suitable for beginners. Brief guide to your Angela Osborn pattern: To use your pattern you will need to print off the PDF pattern. Open the document using Adobe Reader. If you dont have Adobe Reader, dont panic, it can be downloaded for free from http://www.adobe.com/products/reader/. When you print out your pattern, always make sure your printer has plenty of ink and paper. Make sure the page scaling is set to none, (or 100% if expressed at a percentage). This ensures your pattern will be printed off in the correct size. Read through the booklet and make sure you have everything you need before you commence making your project. It might seem like a lot of information, but I think you will nd it helpful. Once you have all you pieces laid out on your fabric, making sure all the grain lines are parallel to the selvedge, pin the pattern in place and carefully cut out the pattern in your fabric. Read the super helpful glossary of stitches, techniques and pattern symbols to help you understand all the markings on you pattern and the different sewing techniques that you might come across in the sewing instructions. Now you can follow the sewing instructions to start making your bow tie! Yay! Remember to follow the instructions carefully and take your time. Fabric and other bits and bobs you will need: 80 cm of lightweight fabric such as gingham or quilters cotton, which comes in lots of cute prints. You need a large amount of fabric because its very important that the tie is cut on the bias. If you use the seamed version of the pattern you can cut the tie out of a smaller piece of fabric (about 40 cm), you will just have a seam at the centre back of the tie. 80 cm of lightweight iron-on interfacing. (Or 40 cm if using the seamed pattern.)

Super Helpful Glossary of Stitches, Techniques and Pattern Symbols 1. Grain line: Grain lines are indicated on all pattern pieces. The grain line must run parallel to the selvedge of your fabric. Making sure your grain lines are aligned accurately ensures your fabric will sit nicely and not warp or twist in an undesirable way. 2. Selvedge: The selvedge is the self-nished edge that runs along both edges down the length of a roll of fabric. The selvedge is formed when the fabric is made and it prevents those two edges from fraying. The grain line of a piece of fabric runs parallel to the selvedge. 3. Seam Allowance (S/A): Seam allowance refers to the distance from the edge of the pattern piece to where you need to sew the seam. This pattern includes 1 cm (3/8) seam allowance on all edges unless specied otherwise. 4. Notches: Notches are important points on the pattern indicating the S/A or marking specic points that need to be matched together. A notch is usually a small triangle sticking out of the pattern. It takes a little bit more time to cut around these notches, but they are very helpful in piecing your pattern together. 5. Right Side/Wrong Side of Fabric: Fabric is woven with an intended right and wrong side. Your pattern and instructions will often refer to the right side of the fabric, such as when cutting out or when sewing. The fabric needs to be sewn with the right sides together. Sometimes the pattern will specify that a piece needs to be cut right side up or wrong side up (these pieces only need one cut out, i.e. not a pair). 6. Pin: Pin each seam, matching notches as necessary, before stitching the seam. Carefully remove pins as you sew. If you sew over a pin you may damage or break the needle of your sewing machine. 7. Ironing: As you sew each seam, press it carefully with your iron on a setting appropriate for the type of fabric you are using. Clip into the seam allowance when necessary to ensure the seams lie at and neatly. For more on clipping seam allowance, see Layering. 8. Layering/Trimming Seam Allowance: Sometimes the seam allowance needs to be trimmed to reduce bulk and achieve neat, at seams. The type of seam and whether or not it is curved will determine the best way of trimming or layering the seam allowance. With all methods of layering and trimming, be sure to only cut in the seam allowance. Do not cut across the seam or the stitching will come apart creating a hole in your project. Oh no!

Layering straight seam allowance to reduce bulk 8.2. Layer seam allowance and trim corners to reduce bulk and to make it easier to turn the corners through. 8.3. Clip concave curves to allow the seam allowance to fan out around the curve and lay at when turned through. 8.4. Clip little triangles out of the seam allowance of convex curves to allow the seam allowance to lay at when turned through. 9. Back Tack: At the beginning and end of every machine stitched seam or row of stitching, you must always stitch backwards and forwards for a few stitches. This stops your seam from coming undone. Do this for every seam unless specied otherwise. 10. Interfacing: Interfacing can be sew-in or iron-on. I usually use iron-on interfacing, which is also referred to as fusing. It is used to add strength and stability. Press interfacing to the wrong side of the corresponding fabric piece. Always test a scrap of interfacing on a scrap of your fabric as sometimes interfacing can make certain types of fabric pucker. If this occurs use a sew-in interfacing instead of an iron-on interfacing. 11. Double Thread/Single Thread (hand stitching): When sewing by hand, you can sew with either a double or single thread (see diagrams). Either way, you need to knot the end before you start sewing. I usually use a double thread because it is stronger, especially when sewing on buttons. Occasionally if hand sewing a hem in a very ne, light-weight fabric, I will use a single thread. If sewing embroidery, you should use a single thread (even though it may have multiple strands.) 12. Hand Stitching Starting Off Always knot the end of your thread (whether double thread, single thread or embroidery oss) before beginning any hand stitching. Start by passing the needle from the wrong side of the fabric to the right side so the knot wont be visible on the outside. The knot anchors your work and prevents it from coming undone. If you are working with a loosely woven fabric you might nd that the knot pulls through the fabric. If this is the case, you may also need to do a couple of tiny stitches on top of one another to anchor your work. Angela Osborn Bow Tie Reference No: A12-101 Page: 4 Angela Osborn, 2012.

Hand Stitching Finishing Off When you have completed your stitching, or run out of thread, you need to nish off securely. If you simply cut the thread there is nothing preventing it from unraveling. After youve sewn your nal stitch, sew three tiny stitches on top of one another (in an inconspicuous spot) and then cut the thread. This secures your stitches rmly so they wont come undone. 14. Ladder Stitch: Sometimes you will need to sew things by hand and it needs to be very neat and almost invisible. For example, when sewing closed an opening or to join 2 folded edges of fabric. The most common stitch used for this purpose is ladder stitch. With the 2 folded edges butted together, sew them together with a horizontal stitch going from one piece to the other, with a vertical stitch going up inside the folded edge. Then draw the needle back out to create another horizontal stitch across to the other side. Pull the thread rmly as you go and it will draw the folded edges together. Finish off with 3 tiny stitches on top of one another in an inconspicuous spot, then cut the thread. Use a double thread to make it extra strong. 15. Running Stitch Running stitch, a.k.a. the easiest stitch in the world is a versatile stitch that can be used decoratively, to join multiple pieces of fabric together, or even to gather fabric if a longer stitch length is used. All you do is poke the needle up through the fabric, back down through the fabric a short distance away, then back up, keeping the distance between each stitch even and repeat. Its that simple! A longer, looser running stitch can be used to gather fabric - just pull the thread to gather the fabric. 16. Back Stitch
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Back stitch is an ideal stitch for sewing seams by hand as it is very strong and Angela Osborn Bow Tie Reference No: A12-101 Page: 5 Angela Osborn, 2012. All rights reserved.

These original designs remain the property of Angela Osborn, so please do not sell anything you make using these designs in Australia or anywhere else. Insert needle where rst stitch ends secure. I like to use a double thread when sewing back stitch for seams to make it extra strong. Back stitch can also be used decoratively. In this case, dont use a double thread and use embroidery oss (the number of strands you use is up to you and will depend on the size of your project and the desired effect). Start by sewing one stitch, then pull your needle back up a short distance away (the length of one stitch away). Instead of moving forward, poke the needle back down exactly where the rst stitch nished, bringing the needle up in front of the thread. Continue in this manner. The back might look a little funny, but the front should be a row of evenly spaced stitches that all line up perfectly, each one beginning exactly where the previous stitch nished. 17. Whip Stitch Whip stitch is a versatile stitch that can be used to join two pieces of fabric, such as when closing an opening, to hem things, or to attach things. To sew whip stitch, simply sew over and under from one of the pieces of fabric to the other as shown in the diagram. This stitch is not as invisible as ladder stitch, so keep your stitches tiny and close together for a neat nish.

Start by printing off your pattern. The pattern le contains two different versions of the pattern, both of which will make exactly the same bow tie. The only difference is that one of the patterns is for one long piece (the entire length of the tie) and the other pattern is for half the length of the tie so you will have a seam at the centre back. Using the seamed pattern will allow you to cut the pattern out of a smaller piece of fabric. Choose which pattern you want to use and cut it out of the paper, taping the pieces together along the dotted lines. More detailed instructions for sticking them together are written on the actual patten pieces. 2. The pattern is to be cut on the bias. The bias is the diagonal grain of the fabric and has more give than the straight grain. By cutting the tie on the bias you will end up with a tie that has a bit of give. This makes it easier to t a variety of neck sizes, it will be easier to tie and more comfortable for the wearer. 3. You will notice criss-crossing grain lines on each pattern piece. Just line up one of these lines with the grain line of your fabric (it doesnt matter which line you use) and pin in place. Once it is cut out the bias grain will run along the length of the tie. Cut it out according to the instructions on the pattern piece, including cutting it out of interfacing. 4. Iron the interfacing onto the fabric. If you are using the seamless pattern you will need to iron one long tie piece of interfacing to one long tie piece of fabric and you will have one other long tie piece without interfacing. If you are using the seamed pattern (as I am in the photos) you will need to iron two interfacing pieces to two tie pieces and you will have another two tie pieces without interfacing. 5. If using the seamless pattern, skip this step. If using the seamed pattern, place the two tie pieces (with interfacing) together along the centre back seam. Make sure the right sides of the fabric are facing together and the notches match. 6. Pin and sew with 1 cm (3/8) seam allowance and iron the seam open and at. Repeat with the other pair of tie pieces (without interfacing). 7. Trim off the little triangles that are poking over the edges.

These original designs remain the property of Angela Osborn, so please do not sell anything you make using these designs in Australia or anywhere else. 8. Place the two tie pieces together with the right sides facing together and pin all the way around the edge, leaving a gap of about 10 cm (4) at the centre. 9. Sew all the way around with 1 cm (3/8) seam allowance, leaving the gap open. Trim away some of the seam allowance all the way around the tie except for along the gap opening. 10. Trim the seam allowance across the corners. Clip into the concave curved areas and cut little notches out of the convex curved areas, as shown. For more on clipping curves, refer to the layering section of the glossary. Take your time to trim and clip the seam allowance as it really makes a difference to how the tie will sit once its turned through. 11. Turn the bow tie through to the right side, using a chopstick if necessary to poke the corners through neatly. 12. Iron the bow tie at, folding in the seam allowance along the gap. 13. Pin the gap closed and then hand stitch it using either ladder or whip stitch. Angela Osborn Bow Tie Reference No: A12-101 Page: 8 Angela Osborn, 2012. All rights reserved.

If you are feeling super nice and have some left over fabric, you could make a pocket square to go with it. Simply cut out a square of fabric measuring 23 cm (9) by 23 cm (9) and fold over 5 mm (3/16) along each edge. Fold over a further 5 mm (3/16) and sew all the way around the hem.

If youre not sure how to tie a bow tie, try a search on youtube - there are heaps of videos that can show you how to do it! Take your time and remember that this traditional style of bow tie is not supposed to look perfectly symmetrical, unlike a pre- tied bow tie. An imperfect knot is part of the charm!
