Nœud papillon Benjamin : Options de tissu

Les nœuds papillons que vous trouvez dans les magasins sont généralement en soie ou en imitation de soie. Il ne sera donc pas surprenant que ce soient de bonnes options. Any type of fabric that you like the pattern or looks of can become a candidate for a bow tie. The only real limitation is that the bow tie will have to be turned inside out through a tube that is only 2cm across. Avec des tissus plus épais, ce sera difficile.

Bow ties are more whimsical than normal ties, so having a fun pattern or loud colour is not as much of a problem as it would be with a regular tie.

La soie et l’imitation de la soie est glissante et délicate à travailler. This can be compensated for with a fusible interfacing.

Entoilage

Selon le tissu que vous avez choisi pour votre nœud papillon, vous aurez probablement besoin d’entoilage. Interfacing comes in two main types: fusible and sew-in.

The fusible variety has some adhesive attached to one side that is activated with the heat of your iron. Cela fixe l’entoilage au tissu et les deux peuvent ensuite être utilisés comme un seul. Fusible interfacing can be a great option if your fabric allows the heat required, and you use a quality interfacing. Some lesser quality interfacings can have the adhesive detach, and this shows as bubbles on the fabric surface later on in the life of your bow tie. Good quality interfacings and correctly following the guidelines for adhering the interfacing will not present these problems.

L’entoilage à coudre est cousu en place avant que les pièces de tissu ne soient utilisées. You attach the interfacing to the fabric by sewing the two together inside the seam allowance. If you use a seam allowance of 6mm, you will sew the interfacing at 3mm. Tout peut faire office d’entoilage cousu, y compris une couche supplémentaire du même tissu.

L’objectif principal de l’entoilage est de donner à votre nœud papillon la structure que vous voulez. You can have a bow tie that stands proud and crisp. Ou un qui tombe un peu aux pointes. This is all about your preference.

It is good to experiment with the interfacing on a scrap piece of your fabric, specially with the fusible kind. You want to make sure you get the structure you like before committing it to your pattern pieces.

Although the pattern calls for applying interfacing to all parts, if you have thick or stiff fabric, you may be able to only do one side, or no sides at all.
