I was recently asked by my best friend Anna to make the finishing touches for her and her coworker's outfits for a gala event that they were putting on. I figured that Shiny Pink Bow ties and Pocket Squares were the order of the day for the TEACH Sweet 16 extravaganza!
So I got on the interweb and found a great free and printable pattern for a standard Bow tie! It actually ended up being two patterns, I found this out after I had made both patterns but it was a simple switcheroo and they worked out! Having never seen a bowtie before I didn't know that you needed two identical halves of the bowtie to tie togeather :) but it all worked out in the end as i hadn't joined them before i got the the TEACH office that afternoon and had it pointed out to me by Anna's coworker! No harm though, they turned out great.
After about 2 minutes of confused scrambling knot tieing and watching some hillarious youtube videos, we finally figured out how to tie the bow ties and the show went on!

Toasting a job well done!
