8. Sew continuing down the length of the unfinished edge. Continue this process for any of your unfinished edges.

9. Making the neck ties you will need to cut the one way fabric in half  (if not using one way skip onto step 11) fold in half and cut, so that each strip is 18"

10. With right sides together sew at 1/2", press seam open.

11. With right sides together sew along the raw edge of the strip.
