Refashioned neckties and sportscoats

We're cleaning out the computer to move everything on to a new one and I found some refashions from last winter. Sorry, if I posted them here already. I can't remember, lol.

These are ties sewn together short end of one to long end of the other, then backed with cotton fabric. I added thrifted fringe to the ends.

It all started with these two matching ties.

This is just a plain rectangle lined with another rectangle with a tie sewn on as the handle.

 

These are handbags made from houndstooth print men's sportscoats.

Great use for the ties. I am now going to start expanding my search for fabric at yard sales to men's ties! I had two old great ones that I kept forever, but finally sent to Goodwill...darn!

That's a great use for ties!

Wow, they all look great.
Did you use a pattern for the bags, and if so, could you please tell us the pattern details? Ta

I LOVE the bags! What an idea for the bags out of men's coats. I have been hovering around that section at goodwill hoping to find one to re-make into a jacket for me, but this is also a great idea!

Great ideas! I dig the rectangle with the tie handle!

Excellent use for the ties! I love scarves, and I think I'll be using your idea soon! ;-)
