Love the bow ties, the men at our facility will love them, a great fathers day gift, you can always find craft for the women but I feel the men can be left out. Does anyone have easy activities, craft wise for men in high care to do?

I am doing this, this year, am taking fabric of each male residents hobby or former job, such as fishing, tools, teaching etc. fabric, so each will be personalized to their personalities..running a hem around the edge, works very well, no fraying on the edges.(.actually am making mine 14" x 14".) for a bigger bow tie, to see the fabric designs. I love the pattern so simple..was going to cut and sew and cut and sew..but this is awesome! Our ladies in our sewing and embroidery club can even help with folding them. We named our sewing club "OWLS" older, wiser, lovelier souls...and they sure are!
