A few seasons ago, super stylish accessories came into fashion - removable collars. Now every fashionista can decorate her look with a variety of such women’s false “things”. Don't spend a lot of money chasing trendy things like removable collars; try making them yourself. The time spent on “handmade” will bring a lot of pleasure, and the made thing will be unique, not like everyone else’s! Go for it!
DIY collar patterns
Here are patterns for triple “composition” collars. They consist of two layers of fabric from which the collar is made, and a lining material that helps the product attach to clothing.
This collar cut is suitable for both women and men; it will successfully complement any item from your wardrobe. And in the end, such a stylish collar deserves to be a separate piece of jewelry.
- Transfer the collar template to a sheet of cardboard or thick paper and cut out the future model.
- It is advisable to measure the neck length in advance.
- For accuracy, fold the fabric in half (the cuts should match), pin them along the shoulder seams, sides, and neckline.
- Then measure the length of the neck of the women's dress with which the collar will be worn.
- It is better if the neck length is half a centimeter or a centimeter longer than the size of the pattern on the basting sections.
- If the length is less than planned, then you need to make a new pattern by moving the center of the collar down, thereby lengthening it.
- Trace the pattern twice or fold the fabric in half. To do this, use a pencil, pen or pale marker.
- The intended layout should not remain on the cut out parts; cut off the marks close to the edge.
- Cut out the intended material with the necessary allowances. Cut out the second part of the collar without allowances. Now you have two equal parts for the top and bottom, you can start sewing.
- Next, grind the details of the collar, that is, connect two pieces of fabric and turn it inside out.
When you are dealing with a collar that is cut out in one piece, keep in mind that after cutting out the allowances, you need to make cuts in the corners, as indicated in the figure. Otherwise, it simply cannot be turned right side out.
There is no need to rush to stitch the product: when such a collar is turned right side out, place a stitch connecting the collar with a wardrobe item (blouse, jacket, dress, etc.).
Below are patterns for a one-size-fits-all collar; its size will not and should not fit neatly along the lines of the neck of the garment.
Here are the most basic patterns for homemade detachable collars with allowances and fold lines.
DIY beaded collar: diagrams and photos of products
Making a collar from beads is quite difficult work, requiring painstaking work and perseverance. But a beaded product will turn even the most boring dress into a luxurious outfit. High-quality and beautiful things are expensive, and not every fashionista can afford them, but a beaded collar will add shine to the image and will look rich.
Here is a fairly simple collar pattern. It doesn’t matter what you string the beads on - fishing line or nylon thread, the main thing is not to tighten it. The collar should lie freely on the surface, and not “stand” on the neck.
The next collar will consist of beads and be held on a fabric base:
- using a cardboard pattern, cut out two parts of the collar and the third from dublerin, which will be the base of the product;
- sew all the details from the wrong side and turn them right side out;
- attach ties from satin ribbons;
- Start beading: in places where the beads or beads are larger, hook the stitches to the fabric backing of the collar. Thus, the beads will not hang chaotically, but will be harmoniously attached to the fabric.
Many patterns of beaded collars can be borrowed from the models on which beaded necklaces are woven. Instead of ties, attach special fasteners along the edges, which are mainly used to fasten bracelets and baubles.
Everything ingenious is simple. Even such extraordinary designs can look amazing, and even a novice needlewoman can master them.
Necklace Making Tips
In order to make it easier and easier to make a necklace with your own hands, you should follow some tips from the masters in this type of creativity. The most common and really useful recommendations:
If you are not good at drawing a necklace template by hand, then it is better to print a template from the Internet. Otherwise, the necklace may turn out to be out of proportion.
If you use beads, then you should take a Czech manufacturer, they are all the same size, well painted and do not fade so much, you can even get them wet.
When using fabric in a necklace, it is better to first wash it and iron it so that it does not become deformed during operation.
In cases where the necklace is quite heavy in weight, then use special clasps for jewelry; there is no need to risk ribbons or threads so that the necklace does not break.
For the base, use only durable materials: fishing line, thread, leather.
When working with a glue gun, squeeze out a minimum of glue so that it is not visible from under the beads and stones, but at the same time press down well to firmly fix the element.
DIY lace collar with photo ideas
If the width of the lace is less than the specified size, then the collar is made of two parts using a connecting seam. Fold both laces for narrow and wide frills and fasten the side sections by hand, stitch the braid to it with threads of the same color.
Fold the two collar pieces together, placing the top piece with the wrong side facing the right side of the bottom piece. Trim the edges and secure. If the idea is that the product should be attached to clothing and not removed on its own, then you can sew it into the neck of a blouse, dress, etc.
If the collar will be removable, then you need to trim the neck with cambric braid and sew a small button and loop on the inside.
You can make these lace collars yourself:
Embroider with satin stitch
Another original, but more labor-intensive and requiring special skills method is to decorate the patch collar with satin stitch embroidery:
These could be flowers, birds or any other patterns that come to mind. The main thing is that they all look neat and match the clothes with which you plan to wear a similar collar.

- From the wrong side, glue the ribbons on both sides of the edges of the collar.

Instructions for sewing a detachable frill collar:
