I love my accessories, and when I saw this post on Megan Nielsen's blog.
I knew I had to make my own!
I think they turned out pretty cute!
(pictures at the end of the post on how I style these babies)
I used Megan's pattern. However, it is for a scalloped collar, which I did not want.
I just printed the pattern and cut the scallops off.
For the pointed collar, I used the same pattern but made it pointy at the end.
Megan has a detailed post on how to make a detachable collar, but if you
want to see how I made this collar, keep reading.
Cut two of the pieces on the fold:
(if your fabric is light weight, you will need interfacing)
Place the two pieces (right sides together) and pin around
Sew all the way around (about 5/8 from the edge) leaving a small opening
Trim around the collar cutting off the access
I used my pinking shears
Turn collar inside out
Iron the collar
Hand sew the opening shut and hand sew on a hook and eye
Next, embellish whichever way you please
(I was lazy and used sequin glue, I let it dry over night)
Thats it!
Here are just a few ways that I am planning on wearing the collars
Thank you so much for visiting!!
Cute! Looks super easy!
ReplyDeleteThanks! They were both very easy and fun to make
DeleteThis is so funky! I saw it at Sugar Bee's link-up and had to investigate further. I would love it if you would link these up in the 'fashion' part of my blog launch link party. I will definitely be following you from now on. (I have never gotten over how creepy that sounds!)

How cute! I really love how you've styled the collar with the first blouse. Would the collars work with sweaters as well or just normal shirts. Do you think fashion glue would work, too, or would you only suggest sewing? I love adding collars and stuff to an outfit to make it feel more "you". I've just written a post about it and I'd seriously love your opinion! They're just for collared shirts really and my tutorials aren't as polished as yours but it's my first attempt.
ReplyDeleteLove this method! I'm planning on making some collars today using some bright orange and green floral 70s fabric as well as children's sheets I bought at the opshop :-)
