I have a blouse pattern that has that type of collar, and I drafted a different one.

This is much easier to sew if you use 1/4" sas. If your fabric is at all ravelly, interface to the edges to eliminate problems. The easiest way I have found to sew this collar and lapel combination is from an old Threads article It's from Dec/Jan 97 if you have old Threads or the new DVD. page 34-36. If like a lot of Burda collars you have that angled neckline, it's still usable but it takes a little adjustment. If you want a copy of this, email me and I'll send it to you.Nancy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235347323004026695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-79825669210009203712010-07-21T12:27:27.119-04:002010-07-21T12:27:27.119-04:00Congrats on conquering this collar!

In reading up on these, it seems that you shouldn't have to ease anything in the collar area. I wonder if this is one of the few times that Burda has a mistake in the draft? Regardless, I'm glad you got it to work for you!LisaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006819220069426357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288846139221731381.post-9347693225816236352010-07-21T09:19:16.554-04:002010-07-21T09:19:16.554-04:00The collar pattern does look complex.
