BurdaStyle is donating 150 bow ties to the auction. Nikkishell is hosting a sew-along to make the bow ties a reality. The rules are that the fabrics must have pink and black in them. I checked with Nikki who said it’s perfectly fine to include other colors.

This bow tie is my contribution to the auction. We didn’t tie this properly, just left it loose so you could get some idea of the end result.

In retrospect, I would not have used this type fabric as it’s really a bit too thick for a bow tie. It was challenging finding fabric in Tucson incorporating pink and black and was silk, taffeta, or satin. It took three tries to get this bow tie made as the fabric frays horribly when stitched on the sewing machine. I ended up hand-sewing the whole thing.
Cancer affects all of us, either directly or indirectly. It accounts for 1-in-4 deaths in the U.S. alone, and 1.5 million new cases will be diagnosed this year.

What a neat project June. I really like the fabric you picked -- I've never made a bow-tie (or tie for that matter) -- it looks like a challenging project!
That is pretty fabric that you used for the bow tie, June. Great cause! I never heard of the Pink and Black Tie Gala in Brooklyn, NY even though I live there.
Hey Junie,
That is great! I can't wait to get that piece in, it looks fantastic!
And thanks so much for helping to make our contribution to the American Cancer Society a success!

What a gorgeous tie and what a kind thing for you to do. I assume that's your husband modeling. Is he healed?
