I am already envisioning a variation with a channel for the tie and a wider edge at the top of the collar that would add more gathers near the top edge.

There is no channel for it. It is just sewn into the CF seams and emerges through the two buttonholes at CB. Since this fabric is rather floppy, I interfaced the back collar, but not the front. I used a fusible interfacing that gives some stability without changing the fabric hand much. I think it was from Pam Erny, but it is not labeled.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-27883098145656339082012-06-06T13:04:55.123-07:002012-06-06T13:04:55.123-07:00Good eye on recognizing the fabric beneath the dus...Good eye on recognizing the fabric beneath the dust bunnies, anonymous! I measured and the front of the collar is 3-1/4" wide (finished) and the back is 3" wide (finished). However, the neckline is not the same as the original pattern. It's a bit lower and a bit more "rounded." You'll have to experiment a bit.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-53541200047227375672012-06-06T13:03:36.681-07:002012-06-06T13:03:36.681-07:00lol.
