adding collar to Burda style 03.2012.116
aliesje Advanced Beginner CANADA Member since 3/27/10 Posts: 26	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 7/9/12 10:22 PM I'm really keen to sew Burda style 03.2012.116, but I'm not keen on its non-collar. I think I'd like to sew a normal collar on. href='http://www.burdastyle.com/pattern_store/patterns/asymmetric-jacket-032012' target='_blank'>Burda 03.2012.116 Any advice for doing so - and does anyone know of a basic jacket pattern from which I might grab the normal collar? Looking at the pattern, do you think it might look bizarre with a collar attached?

The lowest point on the front is lower than for a normal collar (by which you mean collar with stand?) and if you make that point higher, it affects the front shaping with the zipper part too. I might be wrong, it's just my thoughts on this pattern. BTW, I love this jacket and have worn it very often already. ------ http://sigridsewingprojects.blogspot.com/

It's especially helpful getting feedback from someone who's made the pattern - and did such a beautiful job. Maybe I'll have a go with the collar as drafted - it might grow on me. I just have flashbacks of 1990s mandarin collar shirts, which I was never keen on. It may well be different!

And re-reading my first reply I see that i've expressed myself a bit unclear on the lowest part, but think you have got my meaning that it's the center point of the front I was referring to. ------ http://sigridsewingprojects.blogspot.com/
