Using up tartan scraps...How to make a Tie?

[Jon Lilley]

I thought I'd make a stole for our minister and she loved the idea, but after talking to her further, I found out green tartan would be the best color for maximum wear during the year. And as fate would have it, I have every color but green right now. She said she'd wait. Thankfully, she's not terribly tall so that strip of unused tartan that results from a double width of cloth after the waist band is taken out is perfect.

Or, what about a tartan cummerbund or perhaps a tartan bow tie? . . . just something else to think about.

Slàinte!,

I ended up buying a tartan tie in the appropriate weight. I'm glad that I did. I sometimes want to wear tartan when I don't feel like wearing my kilt. I don't, as a rule, wear my tartan tie whilst kilted, however.
