EMBROIDER
• Hoop the upper collar and a piece of cut-away stabilizer, centering the
design markings within the hoop.
• Load the butterfly design onto
the machine. Thread the machine needle and bobbin with embroidery
thread. Embroider the design, changing thread colors as desired.
• Remove the hoop from the machine and the fabric from the hoop. Carefully
remove the excess stabilizer from the design just beyond the stitches.
• Repeat to position and embroider
the design, mirroring the design on the left-collar center front.

CONSTRUCT
Use ¼” seam allowances unless otherwise noted.
• Cut out the upper collar along the pattern markings.
• From the remaining fabric, cut one collar. Designate as the undercollar.
From the fusible interfacing, cut one collar.
• Adhere the interfacing collar to the undercollar wrong side, following
the manufacturer’s instructions.
• With right sides together, stitch the upper and lower collar perimeter,
leaving a 4”-long opening along the collar center-back edge.
• Clip the corners and trim the seam allowance to a scant 1/8”. Turn the
collar right side out through the opening. Gently push the corners
out if necessary, and then press flat.
• Slipstitch the collar opening closed.
• Position the hook on the undercollar left upper corner; hand stitch. Repeat
to stitch the eye on the undercollar right upper corner . If desired,
omit the hook and eye and secure the collar closed with a brooch.
