What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Make sure to coordinate your ties.

Cutting out the silk ties was a bit of a challenge. I cut out the interfacing for those pieces and fused it to the ties and THEN cut out the pieces. It made it a little easier to cut out

You did a very nice job. Well coordinated choice of ties/colors. Do you use 100% silk ties or polyester ties or a combination?

almost all of them are 100% silk. The band and a few of the gussets are poly.
