How to find cowl

One of the most effective collars is a collar clamp. Despite the fact that he lost his former popularity, any knit or chiffon, the product will be more interesting with the collar-clamp. When cutting the collar pay attention to the fabric – it needs to be crease-resistant and legkodelimae to "clamp" lay gracefully, rather than sticking out a stake. To find this collar in two ways: it can be a continuation of the product, and maybe casting.

You will need

• Fabric
• Chalk
• Line
• Scissors
• A needle and thread
• Sewing machine

Instruction

1. To make the collar, which was a continuation of the product, you from the edges of the neck, just draw two vertical lines to the desired height of the collar. However, to build such a collar, the neck-a boat, in other words it should be wider than the collar that held the head.
2. Before cutting pay attention to the fabric. As already mentioned, it should be legkodelimae and crease-resistant, and in addition, the face and the wrong side it should be the same.
3. If you choose fabric where the front and inside are different – correct to make casting a cowl. This requires using the ruler and chalk to carve out a regular rectangle, whose length will equal the circumference of the neck, and the height is double the height of the future collar. In this case it is better to cut on the bias to equity the thread was at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the line of cut.
4. If there is a need to seal the collar lining should be cut in accordance with the by collar, but a half shorter in height. Fold the lining with wrong sides of the workpiece collar, cut it into 1-1. 5 cm, then fold the edge of the outer parts of the collar and sew both parts, stepping back a little from the fold.
5. Fold the collar in half, face side inside and sew the ends so that bent edge, which was to remain after the previous step, and was free.. In this case preferably a single long cut to move a few millimeters in any direction. Remove the detail on the front side.
6. Apply the resulting seam detail to the neckline of your product and baste while bent edge should cover the line of stitching. Using the zipper foot for your sewing machine, stitch the two parts together "in the groove", securing collar into position.
