How To: Make a DIY Geek Power Tie (from Scratch)
Take this one to the bank: never give a guy a tie for Christmas. Ever.
Unless, of course, it’s a handmade tie, that you not only sewed, but did so from a handmade pattern on fabric that you designed and printed yourself, that is.
Says author Michele Beschen, “When I was asked to share a project that was geared towards geeks and dudes, I immediately started contemplating the many interesting ways I could incorporate code into something. I don’t even know what much of that tech jargon means, but I sure like how it looks — the text, the symbols and the layout. I played around with different ideas and just kept seeing it on a tie: not a stuffy, business-like tie, but a tie that looks great worn loose and casual with a vintage short-sleeve button down. Keep your dude in stylish duds this holiday season, and add a little personality with this “power of code” tie that you can create in an afternoon.”
