But, how to describe how to do a ...I do sew, a lot. But, how to describe how to do a collar? That's tricky to do in words...<br />Okay, take the jacket and lay it down on paper so the neck part is flat. The fronts should flare away from each other when you do this. trace the neckline on the paper (make sure your shoulder seams are completely sewn up all the way to the neck first). Take away the jacket, and then draw in the outer edge of the collar as desired. (The important thing is to have the neck curve match.) Put the right side of the collar against the wrong side of the jacket when you sew the seam, and then when you turn the right side of the collar out, the neck seam will be hidden. sew the matching neck and inner edge of collar, and then clip in the seam allowance to let it lay flat. You don't have to do two layers, or turned under edges unless you don't like the look of the raw edges. I'm guessing that's not a problem since you've got that cute frayed edge already. in fact, fraying the outer edges of the collar would be cute, too.<br />did that make any sense? email me if you need help?<br />I like the idea of a necklace. I'm thinking ribbon choker, with a cute flower? or, how about a skinny silk scarf in a bright print? maybe with beaded fringe?<br />love the mary janes!bookettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02639285974211866080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411044701345142518.post-35968041253896593092010-05-06T23:39:32.685-04:002010-05-06T23:39:32.685-04:00She's wonderf-OMG, she has NAIL POLISH!!!!

If you wanted it Elvis like, ( up and sassy) then place another small piece on top and stitch it on. It will make it stick up. Super sassy a feather boa or fringe.<br /> I hope this helps.<br />PhillanePEAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193678598565477613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411044701345142518.post-14848895619440417932010-05-06T17:16:02.690-04:002010-05-06T17:16:02.690-04:00I do appreciate seeing the "process" pho...I do appreciate seeing the "process" photos and she is going to be a good funky friend soooo make her some jewelry and makes jungles and smiles like you. :O) Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez StewartMary Helen-Art Saves Liveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06029836981003692830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411044701345142518.post-27515630913770660382010-05-06T17:14:04.288-04:002010-05-06T17:14:04.288-04:00I live her, she is really great!

I think the suggestion of fake fur or a bit of boa or something fluffy would solve your collar dilemma and you could fabric glue it in place. A two layered denim collar of that size would be difficult. A scarf would also cover up the collar area, maybe with some fun funky yarn?

It has paper on one side and glue on the other - so you can iron it onto the fabric you want to use for the collar, then cut out the collar shape twice. Sandwich the jacket neckline between both collar pieces with the glue side inside and press with the iron. Hey presto! your neat little collar should be fixed to the jacket neck.<br />email: betts458@btinternet.com if you need more info.
