Peter Pan Collar

I made this collar to wear with my mint top.  Being a removable collar, I can wear it with all my tshirts, too.  I really like how adding the collar to jeans and a tshirt updates it from jeans and a tshirt to an outfit.

I drafted the pattern myself, and put it together following the tips I found in my 1960's Better Homes and Gardens Sewing Book.  It closes in the front with a simple hook and eye.  The next time i make one I think I'll look into doing a button instead, just to be more sure of it staying in place.

Some time this week I'll hopefully be posting a guide to drafting collars without tracing existing collars.
