How to sew a Bibi collar
Introducing Bibi, the adorable little collar to slip under all your sweaters and tops in winter, or wear on its own in summer over a bra (or not). It brings a touch of color close to the face, and its collar points, a little tartan but not too tartan, give a retro wink to your outfits. You can play with the tie and button details to make it unique, and because it's small, it's very economical on fabric.
You can also make it in two fabrics, as we did, with cotton poplin for the collar and our Memphis viscose poplin for the bust. here. Of course, you're free to choose different materials, but we'd still recommend fusing the collar and placket for better hold and sharper angles.
To sew Bibi, you'll need :
-be a member of the Lemonade Couture Club (it's by here)
-0.8m fabric in 1m40 width or 1m in 1m10 width,
-3 buttons 10mm in diameter,
-fusible webbing if required for collar and placket.

Bibi is a subscriber-only pattern. As a member of the Lemonade Couture Club, you'll also find an extra pattern in your pattern library at the end of each quarter (February, May, August and November).
We'll be back in September with a new collection called "Greetings from Paname", and the pattern for a very swinging 60's dress, the France dress.
