Check your library for a book on making quilts with ties. When I made one, I hand washed, line dried, and used fusible on the back of each one to deal with the bias stretch of ties. Most of mine were polyester. I used the book Daddies' Ties by Shirley Botsford? She had a teddy bear pattern that I wanted to attempt.

I don't know if this comes too late to help you, but Nancy's Notions has a free apron pattern made with men's ties:https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/02...f?v=1697137667
