One of my biggest projects I have worked on in a while.
An adjustable beaded Tie. Yes you heard it - adjustable!
I have implemented a mechanism that allows the wearer to wind up the tie to shorten it to their desired length for the perfect fit with their torso length.
The design was created free-form from the bottom of the tip up to the top, then the "knot" casing which is double sided with a hollow middle to hide the rolled up tie.
The tie has button-hole elastic to go around the collar/neck which is fastened by buttons on each side of the knot, which also doubles as the locking mechanism for the wire roll to secure the length.
I already have plans for my next tie design as this was a lot of fun to build. **testitch
