Shirt collar

A traditional stand-up collar is a hallmark of a shirt blouse. Here you can see how to do it right.

FIRST STITCH A COLLAR ...
• To prevent the corners of the collar from bending upward, add a small oversize to the upper collar. To do this, fold the collar parts face-to-face and pin them exactly along the seam line to the stand (1).
• Bend the lower collar with an arc. Chop the outer sections of the collar at a distance of approx. 5 cm from the ends, the seam lines should not be aligned.
• Bend the corners of the collar with an arc and chop off the remaining sections of the collar (3).
• Stitch external sections of the collar from the bottom of the collar. Cut allowances close to the line, cut diagonally at the corners.
• To make it easier to iron the edges of the collar after eversion, iron the seam allowances - this is best done using a wooden spoon handle or an unvarnished pencil (4).
• Unscrew the collar, but do not squeeze the corners out with a sharp object, and carefully pull them out with the pin (5) from the front side of the collar.
Iron the collar, if desired, stitch. Sweep sections of the stitching of the collar to the stand.
Tip
On shirt collars, a gasket reinforces both rack parts and one collar part. Important: on thin, transparent and translucent fabrics this is the upper collar (to allow for
the outer edges of the collar were not visible). On thicker fabrics, the lower collar is reinforced with a spacer.
... THEN THE COLLAR STAP TO THE STAND ...
• Push the collar face-to-face from the mid-front line to the mid-front line on one part of the collar stand (= outer stand) so that the lower collar is at the bottom.
On the other part of the rack (= inner rack), allow the seam allowances along the lower cut (cut of the collar to be sewn into the neck) to the wrong side. Pull the inner rack face to face with the collar on the outer part of the rack. Stitch the strut parts, while at the front ends
Sew only to the marked line of the neckline, and unscrew the ironed allowance on the inside stand again (6).

• Cut off the allowances and cut them into roundings. Do not yet turn the collar upright: first, unscrew the inside of the upward position on the stitching seam and iron it (7).
Then unscrew the outer part up and iron it. In conclusion, unscrew the rack
and iron the front ends of the collar.
... AND AT THE END OF THE STAND, TURN INTO THE NECK.
• Insert the outer collar stand face-to-face into the neck without grabbing allowances at the front ends of the stand. To embroider. Cut allowances close to the line, cut (8) and zatyut-
live on a rack.
• Tighten the inner rack and stick it on the seam of the grind-in. Sew manually with small stitches (9). Or, on the front side of the blouse, stitch it to the edge along the seam of stitching the rack in the neck, grabbing the inner half of the rack.
