I stole this idea from the talented So Zo here, as I already had the collar in my stash, it's another version of the 6808, the pattern that just keeps on giving!
So here is the result
I cut the original neckline down a little too far and it stretched out very quickly and easily and it didn't leave me with any option but to just sew the whole collar separately, turn it right side out, slip stitch closed and top stitch the whole collar directly onto the raw neckline. So it now sits quite low, and the top stitching is really messy as the raw neckline kept trying to shrink away when I was sewing, but I think the busy dotty fabric draws attention away, luckily!
I love that daisy trim I want to put it on everything! So what Lincraft lacks in interesting fabrics; they make up for in their trims section, they have the most beautiful trims and I got this one for only $3 a metre, bargain!
This is what it looks like on -
Put a bird on it? I say, put a collar on it.
OMG!!!! It's frikkin' awesome! Thanks so much for sending me the link, I'm so pleased my post proved inspiration for such a wonderful and wearable garment. The addition of the daisy trim is a genius touch that makes it all the more special.

Woo!
ReplyDeleteSo the other day i totally went to big w and bought 2 $4.00 t-shirts! Thanks for the heads up! Im particularly fond of this one! I loved your bow one too, however I have many a tops with bows on it! This one seems so quick and easy and might be something i can squeeze into my busy sewing scheudal! Thanks!
Looking forward to seeing what you make! I'm thinking maybe a peter pan collar on the last one... maybe. I probably don't exactly need another top with a collar on it, ha.
ReplyDeleteHey Lonnie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments on my blog. Your designs are super cute I'm glad I checked out your blog. So where in Brissy do you buy nice fabric I'm trying to find some different stores but I am in bayside area. I want to go back to Japan next year and stock up it's so beautiful and CHEAP over there which is what my 2nd top was from. Anyways nice to meet you look forward to seeing your designs!!
I went to Japan last October, what a beautiful country and we actually got engaged over there so will definitely go back! So the fabric was cheap over there? Where abouts, was that in Tokyo? I found one little place at Takayama and the fabric was beautiful, but I got too overwhelmed as it wasn't cheap and I didn't trust myself not to ruin it!
