But I did work hard on weaving this chair bottom with mens neck ties. Am working on 2 more.

Very cute idea!

oh great chair! how did you attach them?

Nice work! I think I have a rocking chair very much like that (black also), but not in as good shape. That makes a really nice seat!

This is really neat....does it seem to have a lot of strength for sitting?

DARN!! And here I got rid of masses of my late DH's ties in a yard sale last summer.

You did a marvelous job on this, it's something that I'd never have thought of. And they are so strong this will last as long as
the wood part holds up.

Congratulations on keeping those lovely ties from just taking up space in the closet. They are far too nice to hide them away and now you can show them off.

I saw one of these at the Gwinnett Sewing and Quilt Show over the weekend. I thought it was one of the cutest things I've seen in a long time. It's so unique.

Neat! Very creative and good looking too. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Awesome idea. Can you post a tutorial? I'd like to know how you attached them too.

That is so neat! Super great idea for recycling old ties.

Well isn't that clever.

cool project.

What a unique seat and it looks wonderful too! Great idea.

I will try and post the next one start to finish

Very creative!

Great idea.. You did a wonderful job on that seat.. :)

Great idea!

what a great idea :)

Beautiful. You will have some very beautiful chairs. You are very creative.

What a wonderful idea and you did such a great job.

Wow, how creative!

Aren't you the clever one. It looks great.

That is so cool.

Wow!! I would have never thought of that use. Great job!!

that is just beautiful!! Makes me wish I had all the ties my hubby threw away over the years. Look forward to seeing how you did that, understand the weaving part, but how you cut and etc. will be very interesting.

Can't wait for the directions! That is so incredibly cute.

Great idea!

wow clever

How cool is that? I saw on Craigslist someone had a whole big box of ties for sale. I wondered what I would do with them and thought no, I don't need one more thing sitting around my house. Never would have thought to use them like you have!

Very cute! But don't they stretch since ties are made on the bias and so is the stabilizer in them? I used to make ties for my husband once upon a time.

What a great use of ties! Thanks for sharing.

I have one of those rocking chairs and I love it. Love what you did with the bottom.I would have never dreamed to do that. Great idea.

As others have said - what a great idea! Love that you used most patriotic colors.

Very nice!

Very nice.
I have a chair just like that one but mine has NO seat. I love it. I may have to try something like that.

Wow what a great idea.

Love those! They look very comfortable
