How to draft a shawl collar - pattern cutting, design, fitting and sewing tips

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

I hope you enjoyed my new updated shawl collar tutorial? Have you drafted a shawl collar before? How did it go? Which method did you use?

[@Nonoooposns]

I'm using your method 🤣

[@sofeanehamdek3618]

Please how can I do a curve shawl collar?

[@trustofesi9718]

you have been my good teacher

[@NadoCrowFriend]

I love these ~ And this video answered my question of how to “loosen” the shawl when it fits a bit too snuggly for one’s taste. With my other drafts I found it sat too snuggly to my neck. This video gives options to solves that problem?

[@ruthwilliams9853]

❤wonderful! Perfect timing for those of us altering shirt patterns & working on this winter's wool twill. You are clear, easy to understand, right on topic showing how.

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Thank you, such wonderful feedback!

[@dianakidd5688]

This is Fabulous! I loved your other Shawl Collar tutorials too, but this one is amazingly clear and offers terrific tips for easily assembling the garment ~ Thank you for such a helpful video!

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Hi Diana, thank you so much! I cringe a bit when I look back at my first tutorials all these years ago, so I thought the 7 years anniversary was a perfect time to make a clearer one, especially as I’m mostly posting on Instagram and Patreon now. I’m glad you liked the construction tips too, it’s something I too often forget!

Hi Charlotta. I love your videos, they have helped me so much. I successfully drafted a shawl collar following your teaching. Would you be able to show us how to change a one piece sleeve to a two piece sleeve. I have a lovely jacket pattern but it has a very basic one piece sleeve and I want it to be a two piece sleeve. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Hi Ruth, thanks and I’m glad my tutorial worked! I’ll add that tutorial to my list!

[@lesliegelber]

Brilliant, thank you!

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

You’re very welcome!

[@phyllisgordon6577]

This is such a useful tip. Can you explain again why some slash the collar?

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Glad you liked it Phyllis! What do you mean by slash exactly-where on the collar?

[@phyllisgordon6577]

I saw another tutorial by Diane Deziel. She slashed and spread the back portion of the collar for better fit.

[@Hiderize]

thanks a lottttttttttttttt

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

You’re welcome!

[@nthabisengrasekele7906]

Can I use this method for male

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Of course!

[@faizasyed4029]

Do u have tutorial on basic bodice pattern

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Hello, yes, it’s on my website here: www.patterncutting.school/programs/bodice-block-and-sleeve-course

[@minervitanow]

Hello! Your tutorial is fantastic & easy to follow. Thank you! BTW what is the name of your ruler?

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Thank you so much, you’re very welcome! It’s a pattern master and really useful. You can get it from morplan and Amazon

[@hebaashry9992]

Thank you so much

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

You’re so welcome!

[@paulinem8694]

Yes, I need to add a wee bit more on the collar turn when using thick fabric and jacquard.

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Exactly, it totally depends on the fabric

[@Nonoooposns]

How do you sew in the lining??

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

You stitch it together separately and then stitch it to the outer.

[@dreamervanroom]

I decided to check and see if we were talking about the same thing. What I pictured as a shock collar was on a jacket and I think that would you pictured as a shock collar is on a sweater and his clothes below the shock collar. Not putting a picture at the beginning of your video makes things confusing and not good so I think that doing that would be an improvement a great improvement

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Hello, good idea. There is also an image on the thumbnail. For me this shawl collar can be used for jackets, coats and any neckline really. I draft for woven.

[@barbiedesoto7054]

Is it a shawl collar when it just barely goes up on the neck like in a lot of McCardell designs?

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

It’s actually a bit different, It comes out of the bodice, but still has a shoulder seam and the back part of the collar rises out of the back bodice

[@RespectIslam]

How to join lining?

[@charlotta_patterncuttingschool]

Sorry, I haven’t got a tutorial for that specifically, but try using the bodice with the facing cut off
