Peterpan collars can turn your outfit from drab to effortless elegance.
Here's an extremely simple DIY you can whip up in less than 15 minutes.
You will need
(these were just lying around in my house, but feel free to substitute and make this your own style)
- cloth (20x20)
- lace (40cm)
- string
- button
- cutout stencil
Now, time to get sewing!
Cutout a stencil (measure this against your own neck/template, as everyone has a different shaped body)
Pin down the stencil, and cut around it
Repeat, for the other side
To ensure clean edges, I pinned down the section I wanted to sew over. Allow yourself a little bit of room, depending on how confident you are with a sewing machine
Nice neat edges!
Get ribbing, and grab a bit of ribbon and sew it down to the edge of the half moon shape
Lace it up next,
Here I let the two pieces of lace overlap after I sewed them onto the collar, as the button I'm using next is going to cover it up anyway
And now I present you: Simple easy DIY Peter Pan Collar!
