Throwback Thursday to Chesapeake Tides

In March of 2012 I had this crazy idea to start creating bow ties and sell them on Etsy. Before than, the last time I had ever sewed was back in my Sophomore year of high school when I took my first ever sewing class. I had asked for a sewing machine that year for christmas and started to sew a little bit more. I created tote bags made out of the most ridiculous fabric, fabric purses that were just well…interesting, and pajama shorts that I still have to this day and love them to death. Let's just say my taste in fabrics and clothing choices has changed a lot since then.(thank goodness!)
When I first started creating the ties I picked out the seersuckers and ginghams, ya know something classic that would go with everything and any type of man would possibly want. Well, I learned really fast that gingham doesn't really do that well BUT the light blue seersucker did! A few months later is when I discovered Spoonflower; it had a wide variety of very very unique fabrics and I fell in love. I didn't even know about the option that I could create my own until the Fall of 2012!

Here are some of the photos that were taken of the ties that I actually made into a small book for a photo class that I was taking at the time.



The light blue seersucker that was a total hit!


Purple Gingham


Navy Blue Gingham



Red Gingham



Nautical Signal Flags



Maryland Blue Crab



Yellow Gingham


I was pretty proud of all of them! 

I love how my business has grown so much over the almost 2 years and I can't wait to see what else lies in store for Chesapeake Tides in the years to come!

Fall 2013 Collection

THE WAIT IS OVER!!
Chesapeake Tides new custom designed fabrics are now available in bow ties!! It’s been a long awaited wait for these designs to be perfected and ready to be transformed into a bow tie, cosmetic bag, tote bag, or hair bows. (which will be coming soon)





(of course I partnered up some black eyed susans for some Maryland inspired bow ties)



I’m so happy I am finally able to share all these designs I’ve been working day and night on for the past several months with y’all! New products are still in the works and I can’t wait to share them with you as well!
