Collar Galore -your resource for drafting collar patterns (e-guide)

I have created this collar pattern compilation as a reference guide for drafting different types of collars. There are a total of sixty-one collars included. You’ll find collars for shirts, dresses, blouses, jackets, coats, as well as detachable designs.

Scroll above to see the list and pictures.

The collars have been divided into six chapters based on their features or how they are drafted. There's also a chapter where I've included some quick sewing instructions and a troubleshooting section.

Each collar chapter will first illustrate how to draft the basic pattern and then modify it to create a large variety of designs. The idea is to make you understand how collar patterns work. There are enough examples to get you started and hopefully this will encourage you to venture into creating your own versions, too! After all, collars are an excellent design detail that will instantly change the look of a garment. 

To draft the collar patterns, you’ll need either a basic bodice or jacket block, or a commercial pattern you want to add a collar to. You could also modify existing collar patterns.

I've included a few links to videos that show you how to draft the various basic collar patterns: stand-up collar, shirt collar, shawl collar, and the notched collar.

For a preview of what's inside, click the arrow on the right side of the picture above to find a video. There's also a list of all the collars. 

What is included in the e-guide order?

You will get two versions of the PDF, metric and imperial; I know how difficult it can be to draft patterns and trying to convert measurements at the same time! 

There are also  print-friendly editions of both versions so that you can print out the pattern instructions you need. 

The purchase gives you the possibility to join my dedicated FB group, too.
