It occurred to me today that one could make garter ties by sewing fabric in a tube and inverting it. One would then either sew the ends shut, or fringe them.

By this method, one could make tartan garter ties (out of a lightweight fabric) or any solid. If you cut the fabric on the bias, they might be more comfortable, since they'd have some give in them.

My question: Has anyone done this? How did it work out for you?
