My Dad's ties.

What was your inspiration?

My Dad was a business man and therefore, had many, many ties. I asked him to give me the ones he was no longer using and decided to cut them up and make a crazy quilted waistcoat for his 80th birthday which was 13 years ago. He has recently passed away and I thought it would be nice to post a pic of it.

I've just been making some projects with my deceased father and father-in-law's ties. Also, so ties I took away from my husband! lol. This is a great idea. I think I could do something similar for myself. hmmmm.....thanks for posting.

Thank you Sewingal. I encourage you to do it as it's such a lovely memory of one's Dad. My husband now wears this waistcoat!
