Sew a GREAT LOOKING Banded Collar 3 ways! You'll LOVE sewing your next SHIRT / BLOUSE.

A banded collar is a great option if you are newer to sewing shirts and blouses and many patterns have this cute option. I am sharing how to sew them 3 ways: my least favourite method, the traditional method, and my absolute favourite way. You will see great sewing footage and you will be ready to tackle your shirts with confidence. Come join me!

We will touch on all the reasons your collar might not match your neckline and bring a lot of solutions. Super practical.

This is part of a miniseries where we will go over banded collars, collar & stand, shirt sleeve plackets and more. Your next shirt or blouse will be a treat to sew.

*Byrdie shirt & shirt dress (Pattern Scout)

*Grace tunic & dress (Wardrobe by Me)

Aria button up (Love Notions)
Coming soon the 26th of April!

Your 'fave ' method for sewing a banded collar is an absolute winner. I have just tried it and the result was the neatest collar I have ever sewn. I have been making shirts for thirty years and never had such a good result. Thank you so much.
