Sailor Collar Pattern

Tutorial for cutting a sailor collar pattern. I used newspaper for my own so it doesn't tear easily and can be used many, many times.

Since the front seems to give people difficulty, here's an explanation that should hopefully help.

Once you have the rectangle cut out, you measure from the corner going across 2 and a half inches. Mark that spot and then measure from that same corner up 10 inches. Mark that and use a ruler to draw the angle. Do the same on the opposite side. That will be the outside curve of the collar.

For the inside, you'll need to fold the pattern in half so the points meet. Measure 10 inches up from the point side (on the fold), that's where the neck will be. From that mark, measure 2 and three quarter inches from the fold towards the open end (outside edge of the collar) and mark. That's how wide the back of the neck will be.

Use a ruler to draw the line from the outside edge of the neck down to the point. This line is the inside curve on the collar.

If you have any questions, I'll be glad to answer them.
