Today our contributor, Amanda, is sharing the most incredible scout inspired bow tie! You can make one too and it's so cute worn with your favorite vintage brooch! 
Supplies Needed: Black velvet fabric, tie pattern, measuring tape, scissors, pins, sewing machine and thread. (Wouldn't be difficult to hand stitch if you don't have a machine.) You'll also need a pretty brooch! ( Download Pattern-scout-tie )
1. Begin by measuring how long you want your tie to be. Add one inch to the length to allot for a seam.
2. Fold the fabric in half and pin the pattern along the folded edge. The pattern should print out to ten inches on basic 8.5×11 paper, so add on however many inches you need (on the smaller end) to equal half the length you measured for your tie. (Ex. I measured 24 inches, so I cut this piece at 12 inches.) Repeat for the second piece. You should have two "Y" shaped pieces now.
3. Fold the pieces back in half (velvet side in), pin, and stitch along all edges except the smallest end piece. After you've stitched each piece, flip them right side out. Stitch the two end pieces together.
4. Use your favorite vintage brooch to pin together your new scout tie!
Absolutely adorable! I love this project! Thanks so much, Amanda. Have the loveliest day! XO. elsie

This is awesome! I LOVE wearing ties- bow ties, long ties, the occasional bolo tie (no, I’m not kidding haha)- and I’ve been looking for a vintage Girl Scout tie! They tend to be teeny tiny so I’m going to make my own now! Huzzah!

Marriage doesn’t ruin a relationship.People who get mairred then stop trying THAT is what ruins a relationship. People think that because they have a ring on their finger they are locked in . That’s not true. Those rings just signify that you have made a commiment to someone to be there for them through the good and the bad. But so many people don’t. So when you don’t hold up your end of the commitment the marriage fails.I’m soon to be 21 years old I’m not mairred. but I have seen the marriage between my mom and dad go through some really trying times but they stuck together through it all and they’re going to be celebrating their 14 year anniversary on the 28th!
Yes when any two people are toehgter for a while we all tend to get in a comfort zone. I have been married for 4 years now, but with the same guy for a total of 8 years. We are no longer inthe honey moon stage and yes the things my husband used to do for one another have become chores. For us marraige is worth all the work because in the end we know we can always count on one another if things get hard for one of us. Also dating sucks! We hope neither one of us have to go through the hell of dating.
