Today I thought I'd show you how to attach the collar on the Whitlow robe!
This section of the pattern a few skills that might be new to you, so we'd suggest taking it slow and being patient with yourself.
The skills covered in this video:
-
Attaching a fairly straight piece (the collar) to a curve (the back neckline)
-
Attaching a bias cut piece (the front opening) to a piece cut on the straight grain (the collar)
-
Stitching in the ditch
Our tips are:
-
Patience and pins are your friends
-
If your fabric presses well (mine didn't), take advantage of it and press your collar really well
-
Use hand basting stitches instead of pins if it helps you attach the collar more accurately.
