Happy Sunday dear Hivers, I hope you are all having a fun Sunday, yay! It's another interesting edition of the hive learner creative Sunday, as usual, I will be sharing with us another easy DIY, this time, we will be making a collar.
I recently shared a needlework post on how I made a dress with a collar for a grandma, and a Hiver got interested, wanting to know how I achieved the collar, according to her she recently started learning how to sew. I didn't share a detailed explanation of how I achieved the collar in that post, so I thought to share the details here today since it's a creative Sunday, and I hope any other person interested will benefit from this DIY.
I've made several shirts
using this same pattern, it's easy, and I believe anyone with a little sewing knowledge should be able to achieve this.
Materials used
- Any fabric of choice
- collar stay
- tape rule
- Chalk
Let's get right into the making process then
Edited by me using canva
- First I measured around the neckline of the shirt I would be sewing the collar on. For me it was 18", so I placed the fabric on a fold, measuring a width of 9 Inches, and length of one quarter, and made a slight curve at the front edge, just like I illustrated in the image above
- The upper collar is drafted, following the lower one, but about one inch away from its edge, but longer in length, since it measured 2 inches at the folded edge but 2.5 at the outer edge
- Here is what the pattern looks like on fabric after opening it up, I made sure to add half half-inch allowance around except the folded edge when cutting.
- The pattern has two pieces each, I the two sides and up of the upper collar pattern, note that I already ironed the collar stay for more firmness on the wrong side of each pattern piece.
Next, notching the center point of all now three collar patterns, I placed them in position, and repeated the same sewing process on the lower pattern pieces, joining them to the upper pattern
- here, the collar is ready, all I did was just sew it around the neckline, and there you have, a very easy collar-making process.
