Question Making bow ties

Since bow ties are in style now, I want to make some for our retirement facilities craft sale next Fall.
What are the best fabrics to use? What size is most in style?
Thanks

I would go to a men's formal shop and see what's selling. Then I'd try to make a similar pattern and use similar fabrics.

here's a youtube video. I'm sure if you googled you would find plenty of resources.

It depends on what kind of bow tie you want to make. There are clip ons and the regular ones you actually tie. Glad DebraK found a video that will help you.
