In this chapter, we’re sewing the tie & buckle for the back. It's optional but even when its not needed its too stinking cute to leave off, am I right? The pattern includes two style options: a straight front without the classic peaks, perfect for everyday wear and Bavarian country style, and a traditional formal version that’s ideal for weddings and other special occasions.
