Description
Since it was easy enough to do, this is the tie pattern I used to make the tie for my Sakura from Tsubasa outfit. You can make this any length you'd like, and like I said, this is really, really basic.You'll have to add your own seam allowance around the pattern. 1/2" should be perfectly fine to add. If you need helps on doing that, let me know~
((sorry for the watermark, but I've seen too many pic tutorials on many sites without permission... I plan on putting a ton of longer, more detailed tutorials together in the future, so...))
Edit -- forgot the dots on where to sew the elastic
Sorry!Edit again -- changed a bit of the wording around to help a bit more, and added a few more notes (like what the different line types mean). Hope it makes a bit more sense - I dun know what was wrong with me when I was writing that one~

YUS~!
I've been looking around on how to make a tie, and this is great <3
xD The elastic idea is so much easier than actually learning to tie a tie, considering I have /no/ experience with that at all... LOL.
Thanks so much for this~!

Do I use the pattern in full view to get the same size/shape as your Tsubasa link?
I'm using this for Liz and Patty Thompson (Soul Eater).

Well, there is the information on how to draft it, and that is the same dimensions I used to make the Tsubasa one - I don't think it would be right if you just printed it out and used it that way, but the drafting is really easy

Lol. Thanks! This will help me a lot!~

*editing my previous comment* I just zoomed in on my screen and put my white fabric over and traced it. That's not very good for my screen though..
Also, the top curve fold, is that supposed to be cut out? Or is it only the rectangles?

EEEE~! This is SO cool! I've really want to learn how to make a tie because I would love to try and cosplay Maka Albarn from Soul Eater one of these day and I am going to try and make my own cosplays~ Although, they will be a bit iffy cuz it they would be my first cosplays.

Oh! I just made the jacket, it's a pretty easy one! A really, really good first cosplay, actually, because the hardest part (the skirt, IMO) you can find in stores or online and just buy
If I can help at all, lemme know!

Ooh! I was planning on finding a pattern for a jacket too and I saw the jacket you had made which I thought was awesome as well (like all of your other handmade works~).
I will contact you if I have any questions! ^.^ Thank you!

Awesome! I think our costume mistress for last year's musical used this pattern for the Wickersham brothers' ties. It looked fantastic!

Awesome I needed to make a quick tie!
It looks so much easier now

I think the only problem I will have is hand sewing -_-; one thing that I semi-dread I can just think about how many times I am going to poke myself with the needle XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh noes! 
If hand sewing is a major irritation, there are a couple of really nice types of thimbles out there that can help immensely, so you can easily push the needle far enough through the fabric, that you can grab it out on the other side, instead of stabbing yourself

Really? I never thought of using those.. one of my professers had alway's bitched at us for NOT being able to hand sew XD. But I will try tonight making a tie and then hand sewing it.
I have seen some of you costumes and they are amazing! I was like holy crap! totally awesomeness coming from one outfit!
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh! If you're going to do any sort of tailoring or hand sewing, you need to wear a thimble ~ otherwise, you'll rip a hole in your finger, making it useless for a good few days (and, when all you do is sew, that's detrimental!) Learning how to hand sew isn't too bad - usually, I just pop on the TV and just zone out (make sure you have good lighting, too) and it's not so bad

Alright that seems to make things a bit better XD
Thanks for the tips! I will make sure to post a pic of a sample tie after I get done with it ~_^

Your wonderful tutorial has been featured here.[link]
Thank you for providing the gallery with such awesome Resources.

You rock for making this tutorial. I'm definitely trying this one!
I saw a pattern like this in a scan from Handcrafted Gothic Lolita Mook and I wanted to make one. But the scan was of course in Japanese and too blurry to read.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh! I love those books, but they're really kind of weird to follow if you're not used to them (the blurryness doesn't help, either, I'm sure!)
Happy to help - this was one of those things that I've used a bunch of times since, just for fun outfits

Tutorials, huh? What an excellent idea! I definitely am probably going to end up needing this pattern sooner or later, you can't always hunt down the exact tie you want.
π: 0 β©: 1
Indeed - I've just found making them is so much easier than buying & modifying them (plus, they're darn expensive for the good one's, too)
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I so agree with you about that one. Even my mom was shocked at some of the prices when I was pulling together my Ravenclaw uniform. It's like, $22 minimum for a Hogwarts tie on a lot of the HP cosplay sites that sell them.
π: 0 β©: 0
Indeed! I'll be doing more of them eventually... cuz I'm nice, or something.

It's because you're THE AWESOME!

that's awesome! i love you! my mom was looking for a tie pattern for... well im not quite sure why. you dont happen to know how to make hats do youuuu?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hahahaha, what type of hats? I may just be able to help with basic one's, and really complex one's after this Spring semester ((I get to take Millinery 
I'm glad to be of help!
π: 0 β©: 1

Very cool of your to have something like this up!
π: 0 β©: 1
Not a problem!! I'm going to be doing some more stuffs, just because it helps me to learn what I'm doing, and ... yeah ^___^
<3

Wow, very nice pattern! This will be exceedingly useful for cosplayers. Ties can cause such a headache when you're not sure how to make them.

Hehe, I'm more afraid of how to tie ties - I always have to have my Grandpa do them, otherwise they come out lop-sided! So having a pre-tied tie was a bonus in itself!!
π: 0 β©: 1
lol Yeah, tying ties is awful! I can never get them to look quite right. XD
π: 0 β©: 0
this is so useful!!!and easy to understand!!! have to fave!!! seriously, after seeing ( and faveing 
i saw that costume and i was telling my fiancee' "THAT'S WHAT I WANT!! THAT!! THAT'S GORGEOUS!!!" i would LOVE to have that costume LOL i will not forget that... i have plans for my future out fits LOL you did SUCH a fanTASTIC job on that costume!!!
π: 0 β©: 0
Cool, tutorials! I'd like to see more of these, and man do I miss my sewing machine!
π: 0 β©: 1
Ooh, I couldn't live without mine
And I will be doing more as I get the time, with school and everything. A lot of what I've already learned in my textbooks would be helpful to most people - it's stuff I've never known about, and I've been doing this for so darn long, and it's helped out emmensly already...
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I'd love to take classes in jewelry-making. I think it would help me improve leaps and bounds.
π: 0 β©: 0
Ooh, good~ I just thought it might be too "brief", but if it makes sense, that's all that matters ^___^
π: 0 β©: 1
I can't wait to read them all.
I want to become an awesome seamstress like youuuu...
Might help if I didn't stab myself multiple times while working on everything I've ever made.
I want to make a tie now...
