    Bren had some old scraps of tartan
    With which he was not ready to be partin'
    He thought it'd be wise
    To sew up some ties
    But knew not where he should be startin'

    If you're running low on fabric you can also make the blade of the tie in the tartan, and the tail in another cloth - since it will be beneath your collar and behind the blade no one will see.

    I had a sample swatch of MacPhail red in 13oz. Hemmed the edges, and even though it is a rectangle and a bit small, it folds into a respectable pocket square. I can't do a pouf or a peak with it, but it looks good flat.

    And if the ratio is right, you can tie some knots (trinity and eldridge, for example) with the body of the tie being the tartan and the knot being the contrasting tail.
