Pattern Description: Detachable collars: Peter Pan, pointed, band with ruff.

Pattern Sizing: S, M, L. For children! (that's *kind of* a joke).

I sewed the Peter Pan which butts up against itself (View A and B).

Beware the sizing! Medium (black one) fits a 4 year old and chokes me!

Large (lace) leaves a 1.5" gap at center front! I do not have a huge neck.

Measure the neckline of your shirt and measure against the pattern before cutting out. The pointed collar versions have a band that extends the sizing so maybe the patterns, as is, are ok with those views.

Were the instructions easy to follow? Yes except I couldn't understitch for the life of me so I skipped that.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: I didn't want to handstitch and wanted a machine stitch at the outside edge all around. So, I cut the underside with a center back that overlaps (finished first). It was plenty big to allow me to turn it inside out and I can leave it unsewn.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes, but I'll make it way bigger, like an XXL.

	karen n said... I like a jewel neckline but when I want to dress it up or change the look, the collars are there for me. I think they're really effective for going from elegant to funky. It'd work well on Vogue 8815 peplum top. 2/18/13 11:55 PM
