Fox had two ties that he wore every Sunday up until a few months ago when he simply outgrew them. So then I started searching for new ties at all the usual places: babyGAP, The Children's Place, Gymboree, Janie & Jack, etc. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Why do they not make ties for toddler boys except 'round the holidays? They're oh so cute! So then I looked on etsy - $20 a pop. Hmmm. Not quite in my budget right now. So then I got crafty and googled "toddler boy tie pattern" and found one so I can make my own gosh dern ties! My mother-in-law flew in Friday morning and Friday night we hit up Jo-Ann and I picked out my own fabric for Foxy ties. We've been spending spare minutes here and there whipping them up and here they are!
He wore that last one to church yesterday and looked so handsome :) Now I just need to learn how to actually tie them on his neck!
And I may or may not start listing some in my etsy shop. We'll see. 2013 calendars coming soon though, that's for sure!
Paige!!! I think you SHOULD or should not list them in your shop :) I want some!!! I am truly impressed!
ReplyDeleteWay cute! Are these cotton or some other kind of fabric?
ReplyDeleteThese ties are awesome! He'll look handsome in all of them! :)
ReplyDeleteSO cute! I wonder if I could make a tiny one for my baby's blessing? I like the bow-tie trend, but I love a classic tie.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable...perfect ETSY item!
ReplyDeleteWish I was there ... I would teach you!!!! I just made a tie out of a ribbon for a joke card for a friend :) -- I used to wear ties all the time back in junior high and high school!! Hey... what can I say?? I am a true child of the 80's!! LOL!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDarling little ties and love your fabric choices! The enthusiasm you put into all your projects is so inspiring :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh fabulous job! My mom is a taylor so I may need to get her to make me some! I mean my son! Oh btw Children's Place has ties twice a year, Now (christmas) and Spring (before Easter!) Cute ones! Actually they have lots of cute boy church clothes right now (also Chirstmas but I also think winter church clothes)
ReplyDeletei remember you saying once that you are not a sewer...I don't believe it for a second. These are adorable! you should sell them except I don't know how to tie them either. hahha
ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC!! Love them all especially the last one! I TOTALLY know what you mean it was WAY hard to find ties for my boys when they were younger--last night we went and got a suit for my 12 year old--talk about an ordeal! He REALLY wanted one and we found one FINALLY! ;)
ReplyDeleteThese are so stylish! Man!
ReplyDeletewow can't believe you made real ties so cute, hard to put on?
ReplyDeleteI would have to make Paul dress Devin every week...this may be a good idea to have ties that don't clip! :)
ReplyDeletePS Children's Place has ties around Easter, and I found some at Macy's as well.
HOLY MOLY! Those are ADORABLE! If I have a boy, I will buy some! Or make my own because I do know how to sew... LOL. ;-)
