Rejigging a shirt collar

Learning, Recycling, Sewing, Sewing machines, Stitches, Tutorials

One of this week’s stitchers at a Rejig session came with a challenge – how to turn a shirt collar with a worn edge to make it look as good as new. It was a tricky thing to do and required a lot of patience and careful unpicking, but she stuck at it and the rest of us remembered our nana’s and grandmas doing similar things in the past. After a solid hour of delicate work, Bev showed off her turned shirt collar project and everyone marvelled at the finished result – very thrifty indeed!
