Handmade Bowties for Life
ACEN

ACEN (Anime Central held in Chicago…find it here: http://www.acen.org/ ) went really well! I sold some bowties and will post pics soon. Remember, you can always email me FoxyMikeBowties@gmail.com for bowtie information and I can let you know prices. 

Right now, I’m focusing on the smaller, sleeker bowties that are more suited for everyday wear.

I realize that ACEN (Anime Central) is right around the corner. I’m very proud of my outfit. I’ll post pictures here soon. For now, here’s a sneak peek. Be sure to look for me in Artist’s Alley where I’ll be helping some friends sell our work! 

Sorry for the hiatus! New and improved bowtie! This time, my blue floral paisley is a bit smaller in size. I’m also considering a narrower band to compensate for the smaller wingspan. What do you think?

I had two gigs in two weeks for my jazz band. Naturally, I wore the two-tone paisley and neon black paisley bowties as accents for them both! 

Look for me in the Guiness Book of World Records! I was part of a group that all simultaneously tied their own bowties at once breaking a world record!

This is a preview for my outfit at the LMFAO and Ke$ha concert next week. I still need to sew something for it. Bandana? Perhaps.

All ready for my Tweet Up! Today’s bowtie is olive floral paisley on mauve. I’m wearing a seagreen shirt, grey-blue shorts with a grey plaid belt.

My new purchase from All Saints. Grey canvas jacket (Normally $395, scored it for $118) with a light gray button-up shirt with white flowers (Normally $125, scored it for $37). Now the real question is…what bowtie do I wear with this?

Welp, turned that non-bowtie-able fabric into a pin cushion! Professor McGonnagall would be proud.

This was a fun find: a cast iron sewing machine. Its design is way different from my modern one; plus, it’s extremely heavy. Best part? It was a whole $15! Bad news though…it seems to be missing an adaptor so I can’t actually see if it works. Does anyone know how to use pedal-less sewing machines? There’s a big motor in the back that seems to have some sort of function.

But seriously, how cool is that?
