Make a Retro-Ascot Neck Tie

Step 7 Invert

Somehow, reach down inside the tube and turn the assembled panels inside out. Try rolling the inside out from the small opening--making a cuff--and continue rolling more fabric out until the whole thing has turned right-side-out. You now have a good idea of what the finished tie will look like.

Another way that would be to tie a bead to a length of sturdy thread, make sure the bead lays outside what you are sewing, and the thread runs up between the layers and out the end. The only difficult part is making sure you don't trim the thread by accident when you're trimming your seams.

Then gently pull the string when you are ready to turn it inside out. Once it is right side out, cut the thread and shake the bead out. No damage to the seam or fabric. :)

The easiest way to turn the tie inside out, would be to tuck a ribbon in the very tip of the point of the bottom seam before you sew it, then leave it long enough to run longer than the length of the tie, letting it dangle out the end. Stitch and trim as you've indicated, then pull on the ribbon. It will turn the ties inside out. When you've gotten it flipped, pull out your seam ripper, and tear out the part with the ribbon. Take out the ribbon, then hand tack the ties closed again. Voila!

you could tie a thread to the inside of the pre-stiched tip and just pull it through at the end, might beat the cuff method.
