Since it was easy enough to do, this is the tie pattern I used to make the tie for my Sakura from Tsubasa outfit. You can make this any length you'd like, and like I said, this is really, really basic.

You'll have to add your own seam allowance around the pattern. 1/2" should be perfectly fine to add. If you need helps on doing that, let me know~

((sorry for the watermark, but I've seen too many pic tutorials on many sites without permission... I plan on putting a ton of longer, more detailed tutorials together in the future, so...))

Edit -- forgot the dots on where to sew the elastic Sorry!
Edit again -- changed a bit of the wording around to help a bit more, and added a few more notes (like what the different line types mean). Hope it makes a bit more sense - I dun know what was wrong with me when I was writing that one~
