We're very lucky in southern Ontario to have some options, eh? Do you prefer those two shops to the others in the area? Quote:

If you sew, it's very easy to make bow ties -- there's even a free pattern available online. There's a thread about it here, with links and notes about technique (turning the points can be tricky without the "threads" method).
Here's the link -- not that easy to find, as "bow tie" is rejected for too short a search term LOL

Sounds much more reasonable than spending $30-50 for one and paying for shipping
