Ellen's Sewing Passion

  I learned how to make an origami tailored collar when I attend the origami course hosted by Shingo Sato.    At first I had to make the pattern.   The drawn lines are inserted with pleats. Then you have to make it in fabric. It's best to use cotton, then it's easy to see how the pleats are going to bee.   The challenge afterwords was to make the collar integrated instead. This is how it was supposed to be, but it was a bit tricky.

  This origami collar is made as tree-layers on top of each other.   I learned these techniques when I attend a course hosted by Shingo Sato. The basic pattern for the half front is made and I have started with the bust-insert. Then the pleats for the collar is made. This is how the pattern looks like when you fold the pleats together. - and this is on the wrong side. I have to cut the pattern in two pieces, and it's important to fold the pleats together  so you know where to fold it when stitching it together. I would prefer to use cotton fabric. The collar is finished. The second collar has three-layers inside each other.  I can use the same pattern, I just have to turn it opposite. I cut the same pattern, but fold the pleast inside instead of outside. The pattern are ready to be stitched together. This is how the collar turns out.
