Neckties in clothing

When you recycle necktie fabrics into clothing, consider how you want the finished project to drape.  If the garment should drape softly like a skirt, dress, or blouse, then you probably do not want a foundation or stabilizer.  You may need to stabilize the tie pieces with a narrow strip of very light-weight flexible interfacing or stabilizer over the seam lines to avoid stretching the ties as you sew them together.
