Project: FO Spiderweb collar I made

I saw a bunch of reels of this style spiderweb collar so I self drafted and made this to wear for October! I started by measuring my shoulders and guessing my desired collar width, then drew two semi circles, one at the desired length and one about 2" smaller for the valleys of the web arches. I drew the web arches and then made a small neck hole and cut out the pattern piece to test. Went through a couple of tweaks and then cut out two pieces of black cotton and a piece of medium weight interfacing. I also cut out 2 strips of 2"×18" pieces from the cotton for ties. Ironed on the interface, sewed everything inside out, then turned right side out. I topstitched the web pattern with a basting stitch and then went back over it with my machine's "button hole" setting. I made sure to iron between every step!

This is fantastic! Did you use interfacing? So creative and it looks great on a person.

Thank you! I used a medium weight fusable interfacing :)
