Instuctions for Sewing Felt Undercollar
September 26, 2008 by Your Devoted Sewist · Leave a Comment
- Before you cut into the felt, suede, or ultrasuede trim away all the seam allowances surrounding the undercollar pattern piece
- Cut out one whole undercollar on the fold
- Pin this undercollar to the interfaced uppercollar, which has the seam allowances turned under (miter the corners of the upper collar), and catch-stitch the undercollar to the interfacing at the upper and side edges about 1/2″ inside the seam lines
- Baste the lower edge of the undercollar to the neckline seam allowance, placing the cut edge of the under collar along the stitching line
- Baste the undercollar to the uppercollar about 1/4″ (6mm) from all edges, then trim a scant 1/8″ (3mm) from all the raw edges
- Using a small blanket stitch, sew the undercollar to the uppercollar and neckline seams. (See diagram below:)
