Great demonstration full of important tips for a beautifully finished collar

[@dianez9211]

Thank you for your video. I have learned so much. Collars and under collars have always been a challenge for me.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Kensbev]

Thank you for posting this video! I struggled to find a pattern to fit my super-sized husband (he's both taller than average and fluffy like me 😊). The one I finally had didn't have the best directions for sewing the collar, and I'm new to sewing clothes, so I really need help. You're the best, Karina!

[@jsilva7586]

Thank you so much, very helpful

[@dckroyer4451]

Collar and stand can be made in all one piece...you've changed my life! Thank you for all of your great sewing instructions. Love your videos! Mavis

Didn't have a clue thank you so much I will have a go at it x

[@elizabethhoops992]

So elegantly sewn! Collar and stand have been my weak link and with your tips I look forward to my next make! One take away I learned from you is to be patient and go slow. Thank you Karina!

[@brigittev9917]

Thank you Karina, it's so practical when properly shown as you do. 😄

I think I’ll use these instructions to replace a few collars on shirts where my hubby has worn through the stand & collar!! I like to repurpose.

[@gaildulmage3662]

I can not tell you how much I love your videos. I have learned so much and have even referred a few people to your various videos. Thank you

[@angelabanks2431]

Thanks so much for showing a well explained way of sewing a collar stand, it all makes sense now 👍😀

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jirup]

Yay! The pattern is live and I have it! I had plans for the fabric, but I saw the seersucker striped one at LN and now I am not so sure. I'll decide as I make up a muslim.

[@dianemontavon5670]

I've seen you do that fold on the points several times. I've been using it for awhile. I never used that blind hem pressure foot until you showed this tip for top stitching. Thank you for such a great tips. I love the materials you've used on this top. Beautiful.

[@janicek6399]

All of these are very pretty. Appreciate your making playlists easier to find.

[@MoMadNU]

Collar stand and collar as a single piece, who knew? I would still use separate interfacing, one stand and one collar with a small gap. That way when I fold the collar over and press, the fold is pure fabric and will be very crisp. Wonderful video. Thank you.

[@lorlor2831]

Wow! You are such a busy woman. Thank you for this series. Collar’s are something I avoid but now with your help I’m thinking twice about it. Thank you again ❤️

[@suzanneperron549]

Great video! That chiffon shirt looks great on you.

[@marymac4729]

Thank you so much for all of your videos. It is so nice to have a sewing friend I can count on. Many blessings to you for helping so many to learn, remember, or improve on our sewing. You are an angel! Many blessings. I love your sweet nature, it’s the best part! You sew so many clothes, I’m just really amazed at that!

[@janicek6399]

I watched this twice, it's been a long time since I did a collar and collar stand and I appreciate your close camera work for my refresher😉 thanks, have a great day!

[@lindaladner5880]

Thank you for your tutorials. Yours are the best I have seen on KZbin.

One of my next projects will be a linen cameron button up for my partner. First time sewing a collar - so happy to have a video reference as well as Helen's closet's thorough instructions!

[@karengarber8257]

Thank you, Karina for the tip on interfacing both sides of the all-in-one collar. I have never liked this style as it seemed to have no structure--was rather wimpy! I'm going to try your method!

[@robynlaszlo6128]

Thank you so much I have always avoided these types of collars and I have learnt so much will be having a go now. I have saved this video for my go too. Thank again, cheers Tricia.

[@dedragardner3473]

As always, excellent content! ❤️I have just purchased my Aria using your link and discount code. Thank you 😊 I have sewn collars before, but with frustration. Your camp collar facing video was awesome and I was able to sew two of those shirts with great success. With your guidance, I am ready to give this one a go. Thank you again for all you do. You are amazing. 😊

[@jorjadiebold5317]

I’ve been making shirts for my son doing the stand and collar. This is a great technique. He’s asked for a white shirt to wear with his suit so I’ll use the same method as before but so many things to improve those curves. For myself I’ll try that on my next blouse. Thank you.

[@AnitaMcB__]

It’s so hard to get the end of the collar stand to attach nicely to the end of the shirt. Thanks for sharing

[@Escape10mom]

Thank you for this series of videos! I can't wait for the Aria to come out! I've never sewn an all in one collar before. I'm very familiar with collar stands as that's how I sew my husband's shirts. I really liked your technique on the Melody Dolman & use that all the time!!

[@lindarogers4188]

You are an amazing teacher ❤

[@jgsawka]

Fabulous instruction! Thank you for sharing your talent!!

[@susankidd9963]

Great video Karina love the shirt and beautifully made wow.

[@mcallan5782]

Hi, Karina, another great collar video! The all in one collar on the aria looks wonderful to try and I can’t wait for it to be released. Thank you also for showing how you block fuse, I’ve always wasted a lot of fabric and interfacing in my attempts to date. You’re a treasure showing us all this - also using a blind hem foot to get that really neat top stitching- genius! I’m raring to get started now, just waiting for the pattern release!! 💕

[@safogel]

[@loriannpayne4483]

Really helpful Karina! I’m working on the Aria collar right now!

Now I can try sewing a button-down shirt! It's been my goal for a very long time. Thank you 'sew' much for your wonderful videos! One request: how to sew a shawl collar on a woven blouse, please. Take care.🌷

[@sandraperry2294]

Great tutorial. You have definitely eased my mind about sewing collars. Is it possible to turn a multiple piece collar pattern into a simplified one piece collar pattern? I hope you or someone in the community can answer the question.

[@cjane51]

Thanks Karina for another great video. I was concerned about sewing a collar stand You have helped me feel more comfortable about it. Can't wait for the pattern release. Do you have a video about using your edge stitch foot?

[@judysewell2021]

34:45 You didn't pivot at the collar points -- you sewed off and crossed the seam line. Brilliant!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Yup. I never pivot. This is how I do everything :)

[@judysewell2021]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Nice. Might I ask what interfacing you used on your lightweight fabric?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

@@judysewell2021 i buy local and don’t have a brand. All I know that it’s non stretch fusible and almost see through light weight.

[@judysewell2021]

[@lyndaleekorn1408]

Thank you for a great video. What are those little snippy scissors you used to notch the curve. They did the job so well. I want one!

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

They are not really special. They are called thread snips :)

[@debm460]

Thank you for taking me by the hand and walking me back to the sewing machine. I nearly didn’t watch this or the banded collar video. I’ve been avoiding shirt/coat patterns. My collars end up lumpy and wrinkly. Excellent tips, like the one about cutting on the fold (banded collar and method #3 for no lumps) and it ends up too long. I could never figure out why and the those two lumps at the front of the collar band never looked neat.

[@janetangel4940]

Hi Karina, I’m new to sewing and have learned so much from you. You’re an excellent teacher! I recently purchased the Love Notions Aria pattern and course. I’ve made a muslin with cotton poplin to practice and it turned out pretty good for a beginner (I don’t expect perfection of myself at this stage)…lol The only part of the pattern I found a bit confusing is the line on the collar piece to line up with the placket. It seems to leave a larger than 3/8 inch overhang if I align it with the edge of the button placket? Can you shed any light on this for me?

[@seamsuneven7824]

Karina was the Aria shirt made with quilting cotton? These shirts were just sooo pretty! Love them! 💜

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

It’s not a quilting cotton. Just a very lightweight cotton :) I actually don’t own any quilting cotton 😬

[@MrsChrisCreer]

My machine didn’t cope with the thickness even though I trimmed it down. Can you just see the bottom?

[@sandraperry2294]

Good morning, Carina, great tutorial. I made the mockup for the Aria and it fits perfectly with the exception that I have a small gap at the bust area, about 1/4 of an inch. Would you share your recommendation to address this without altering the rest of the shirt fit?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Did you put a button at the bust height? If not, I’d try that and if you need to add 1/4”, you’d just need a scant 1/8” extra on the side seam at the bust height. You can add that at the side seam and then taper in to the regular line at the waist.

[@sandiperry3753]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles Thank you for your prompt response. I decreased the side seam allowances from 3/8 to 1/4 and that worked perfectly, even giving me a little extra at the waist and hips.

[@vickijohnson5226]

I’d love to know if you have a template to draw the curves for the round pieces?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

No, i don’t have a template.

[@vickijohnson5226]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles ok, I’ll have to figure something out, thank you so much.

[@bandr2783]

what are you using to iron-on interface the round neckline? is that a straight grain or bias product?

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

Straight of grain non stretch light weight fusible :)

[@bandr2783]

woven - not knit? are you just easing it in? i'm surprised (and happy) that it isn't stretching the neckline out. thank you so much for your time and information.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

@@bandr2783 I block fuse. I fuse a piece of fabric first and then place the pattern piece and cut it out. I’m not easing anything anywhere. These are woven projects, I would not use stretch interfacing here.

[@bandr2783]

@@LiftingPinsandNeedles wonderful! now i understand. that's a terrific solution.

[@maryenos91]

That one piece looks so easy to do, but I do not do PDF at my age I do not want to go through that. Do you know if the company that has this pattern prints patterns out for the purchaser of a pattern? Thank you.

[@LiftingPinsandNeedles]

All of these brands also provide an A0 file (large paper format) that you can have printed at a print place. This gets you the pattern in a large paper and all you do it cut it out. These brands don't print the patterns for you.
