Tie = Coin Purse
..
Inspiration:
My friend, Christa. She came by my desk and said, “What about this?” I said, “Can I use that?” She said, “Yes,” and here it is.
Supplies:
Tie
Scissors
Fabric Glue
Closure
Thread
Sewing Machine (I used a serger)
1. Remove the tack stitches from the back of the tie.
2. Cut the tie to accommodate whatever item you’re making the pouch for.
3. Open up the tie, apply fabric glue along the edge and fold back into shape. Allow to dry.
4. Turn inside out.
5. Stitch along the bottom. Turn right side out.
Note:Â To finish a serged seam, apply fabric glue to the ends, allow to dry, then trim the threads or thread a tapestry need and feed the thread ends back through the seam.
6.  I finished by purse smaller than I originally planned, so I couldn’t use the decorative hook and eye I intended to use. I decided to use Velcro dots instead.
7. Imagine the possibilities. You could make a case for scissors, glasses, anything that will fit.
hey, that turned out very nice!
I’m going into buisness… my guys have SO MANY ties! 😉
i hope you offer these on your Etsy store – I want one!
This is the cutest, such a fab idea i love the tie fabric also. I think you found a calling here 🙂

That is so cute! I’m sure hubby has a few ties he won’t miss…
Neat-O! It occurs to me, you could use this to make a pretty sophisticated poop-bag holder. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Xan. I know you’re a dog lover if you think about cute poop bag holders!
Made one for my sister out of one of Dad’s ties. Turned out great,thanks!!
I am going to take My Father’s Ties (he died in 2003) and make these for my sister and nieces. Mom just handed a shoebox full of them to me this spring. Will make a perfect Christmas gift for remembering…..
