Tutorial

After a tutorial yesterday where i showed my sample collar to the rest of the team, it was decided that for some of the other collars which are smaller in the designs, i would adjust the collar pattern piece by simply adding in a pleat on either side of the neck at the shoulders. This would then add height to the collar which in some of the designs is required so is an easy, quick and effective alteration to make. For some of the other collar designs i will also add a bit of netting underneath some of the sqaures before i stitch them down in place to again add height and structure.

There are 2 collars on the desings that are different in and come down lower on the chest. For this design its been suggested that i use wire to add some shape and structure so that the collar can be manipulated into shape.
