ladies,do you know how to...Tie-a-Tie?

[doodle]

Yep...but only around my leg. I can''t tie one on myself, and for some reason, I panic when attempting to tie someone else''s tie, so I can only do so on my leg. Okay, so I think I may win the award for the strangest answer to this question!

I can, but it always looks yucky since I don''t do it often. But I know how and could make it look better with practice. Haha the worst part is estimating how long to make each side so it comes out the right length in the front and back layers.

My dad used to make me tie all of his ties for him so I''ve known for a while. I haven''t done one in years since my FI doesn''t use ties.

No. Neither does my DH! He's watched You Tube videos for when he needs to wear a tie to work (not very often), but we always laugh at the results.

ETA - is there truely anything wrong with clip ons? My kids will be wearing tuxes in a few weeks and their bows are clip ons.

Yep, sure easy. I have 2 brothers and I learned before they did. They both still use clip ons.

I have to tie DH''s tie any time he has to wear one, also have to tie my brother''s ties because his wife can''t tie his.

I have no idea how my sisters and I know how to tie a tie, but my brother missed it...

At our grandma''s funeral, my brother came in wearing a "real" tie (as he calls them) and the back hung approximately 8 inches lower than the front, which hung precisely at the end of his sternum

. He was 30... So, I actually was in fits of laughter at the funeral until I took him aside and retied him.
