A collar

Work takes most of my energy, but yesterday I made the collar for my new short coat while having tea with my neighbour and later keeping my youngest daughter company before she went to bed.

It's a for me typical mix of machine and hand sewn. Since the fabric has a tendencey to unravel while you watch it teh pieces are zig-zagged, but it is sewn together by hand, because it is easier to combine with a social life,

To make the collar stiff enough it is interlined with a heavy cotton satin and the lining and interlining are padstitched together before the top fabric is added.
