I stay stitch my short neck ( just inside the seam allowance) and then clip up to (Not through) the neck edge stay stitching. This allows you to lay the circular neckline in a virtual straight line, making it easy to then attach to the collar stand.

This is my favorite version of this dress that I’ve watched. It is so adorable. I love your choice of fabric. I’m encouraged to make it now. I’ve had the pattern for so long but have a hard time finding rayon, which is the flowy fabric I like. (I don’t like polyester, which is the only one I can find at my local fabric store. ). But there is always lots of cotton!

I made my son a shirt a while back and the collar was the worst part. I ended up with a couple of "pleats" in the back of the neckline. Thankfully, he still loves it and wears it a lot. I'm about to make him another one and try your method. Looks so much easier!

Beautiful! 💖 I agree, no pockets for this billowy dress. I can see how a hem facing would work well on such lightweight fabric, good to know. I've had my eye on the Pattern Fantastique 'Calyx Smock' top/dress for a while now.... but I have sworn an oath to not purchase any more patterns until I sew a few of the ones I already own! So hard!🤨

It appears one of the collar stands in your video did not have interfacing, is it necessary using your method?
@TheSerialHobbyistGirl5 ай бұрын
Usually only one of the stands is interfaced, and it is the one that faces the outside. The one that lies against your neck is not interfaced. You can interface both, but it will make the stand much more structured, which may or may not be the look you're going for.

I totally agree with all the issues you've been mentioning, especially the costing. I ended my subscription around 4-5 years ago after moving from Hungary to UK. Honestly, the subscription costs twice here and I don't think it's worth it for 2-3 patterns\month I like or sometimes I don't like any. If I'd buy any pdf from the UK, US or German website it would cost the same like buying a magazine, which I think it's robbing for our money. In the last couple of years I used to buy the pdf versions from the Russian website, but since the war started all the British bank deny any payment to the website. I also discovered their Turkish website lately where you can buy pdfs for pennies, but unfortunately, it's not frequently updated, but I can live with that.

Really well done. I make one similar for my medieval fantasy costume outfits for my final uni works though I used a facing instead of bias tape. But I then overlapped a homemade weaved tape on top and blanket switched the edges with the same tumeric dyed thread as the weaved tape.

Why can't you topstitch from the other side? Surely it should very similar and if the thread is the same colour it would blend in anyway?
@davepierunc8 ай бұрын
My two collar band pieces never stay matched up. One always stretches far over the other during sewing. Maybe because only one piece is interfaced? I could interface both sides, and maybe try a walking foot, though in the past that hasn't helped.
@ASHLEIGHDAWN1008 ай бұрын
What an awesome tutorial! I found this incredibly helpful thank you so much! Also, if anyone struggles with your fabric shifting after you turn under your last little bit on the collar stand before you stitch it down- using a small amount of the white Elmer's school glue right where you want your fold to sit then set with a hot iron to dry it in place. It will wash out the first time you wash the shirt and will keep your fabric right where you need it while sewing.
@nancyhastings-trew61068 ай бұрын
Boy, is this ever slick! While I found the front band seam a bit tricky, it produces a very neat result! So much better than the method I was using. A question though, how would you handle this if it were a collar band without a collar?!
@TheSerialHobbyistGirl8 ай бұрын
You could do the same and then neatly fold down the open seam allowance at the top and top stitch. That wouldn't be my preferred method though because I don't normally top stitch band collars. Plus, band collars don't fold out like collars with stand so they don't reveal the inside seam, so as long as the outside looks good, you're golden. The fact that collars with stand fold out, revealing the inside collar, is what makes it necessary to be very neat on the exterior AND interior. Does that make sense?
