Then I've also seen retro like skirts out of them... using the point of the tie at the hem. I will see if I can scrouge up a picture for you to see of the quilt. It's really neat! Yes, and also... bags too... where you use old blue jeans as the bags and ties as the shoulder straps and to use to go thru the belt loops on the blue jeans.... just use your imaginations and you will come up with something fun and great!Jean C.http://DougJean.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472899137301463197.post-13683722202370229592010-03-22T07:19:46.199+11:002010-03-22T07:19:46.199+11:00You look gorgeous Annie!

Up hanging on the wall was a quilt made from ties. Apparently the lady's daughter worked in a newsroom and they always had ties which were discarded when they no longer wanted them so she decided to unpick them and use them up. I think she actually had them in the shape of the tie but unpicked the backs to have fabric to connect them together. It looked so beautiful too with all the different silks and fabrics and the colors were really nice too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02893692345113831018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472899137301463197.post-2085999302957615692010-03-13T09:03:32.244+11:002010-03-13T09:03:32.244+11:00hahahahaha .... word verification is 'brapop&#...hahahahaha .... word verification is 'brapop' - doesn't that mean it's time to get a bigger bra? Or at least stop your friend wearing it?<br /><br />A bazillion years ago (well... 28) my mother made a skirt from my dad's old ties. She opened them out then sewed them together, keeping the lining intact. The end result was a handkerchief hemline a la Dresden Plate. <br /><br />Looking forward to seeing what you do.trashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15522550420718532131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2472899137301463197.post-70438927902616583792010-03-13T07:38:18.864+11:002010-03-13T07:38:18.864+11:00Like thimbleanna, I was thinking something along t...Like thimbleanna, I was thinking something along the lines of dresden plates.
