Double Collar Top for Mum

Hi All, the latest project I did is again for my mum. The fabric chosen by my mum which she had bought from Chinatown. I decided to make a double layer collar top as the fabric have many small repetitive flowers and the collar would not be obvious if there isn't any contrasting color.

 I did a collar binding in my previous project Seam binding Peter Pan collar for Mum to make the collar standout. This project is another alternative I tried. One of the collar is wider and have a sharp corner while the other is curve edged.

Gathered sleeves

I drafted 2 collar pattern and overlap them. For the black fabric I've used remaining fabric from previous project. 

Seam binding Peter Pan collar for Mum

This is another post of a top I sewed for my mum recently. My mum went to Chinatown last weekend to get this polka dot cotton fabric which is made in Japan. For this top I decided to add blue binding around the collar so as to make the collar more outstanding. This is my first time sewing mitered corner, I followed tutorials on YouTube on how to sew mitred corner and it turn out presentable on the right side of the collar (the wrong side is horrible as I have difficulty sewing the bias tape to the fabric). For the bias tape I used cotton bias tape instead of satin bias tape.

The fabric wrinkle after wearing it for a day at work.

I would like to share a fabric that I bought recently. It's for my new sewing project. I will update this blog post once the dress is complete. Hope it will turn out well. :)

Fabric: Made in Japan 100% Cotton

I love the design as it look like flower motif when you look closer.

This fabric can be used on either side.

This is the design I intend to sew using this fabric. (Please bear with my horrible drawing)
