Overview

Do you have a bag of men's ties stashed away somewhere, just waiting for a good project idea? You can stop wondering what to do with those ties that your dad or husband no longer wears. Use them to make pillows, lamp shades, wall quilts or art-to-wear. Create new treasures from old ties that are probably the same ones that you have given as gifts on Father's Day, birthdays and Christmas. Shirley Botsford's glorious book is packed with over 30 functional and keepsake projects. Included are full-size patterns, step-by-step instructions and illustrations, plus inspiration, ideas, tips and techniques to create even more.

Barbara Jacobs

The ultimate recycling craft that, if done well, actually doesn't look like a recycling effort. Designer Botsford, inspired by the memory of her late father's ties, shows a passel of ways to use neck gear, from simple scarves to a complicated three-piece woman's suit. Her more than 30 designs include pouf purse, head gear, a teddy bear, Christmas ornaments, lamp shades, and, of course, the ubiquitous pillows and quilts. Instructions are clear though somewhat telescoped in terms of space; color photographs showcase the finished objects.
