DIY Hého du bateau!

 

Hi, friends,

The mid-week DIY, is back with the lovely Zoé, I love little people, and kids fashion let's not talk about it.... Sometimes I wish I were a 12-year-old and could fit into the kids' "plus sizes". Even though children's fashion may not be the best solution for a femme fatale look, I find that the cuts and materials of this little fashion group have nothing to envy adults when it comes to basics and other girly little pieces. Anyway, when I showed these photos of Zoé to Justine B., she said to me: "But you're only going to put a pattern online for kids? well, no, there's a version for kids too! for children (click, click) and for grown-ups (click, click!)

For this DIY, you'll need:

• Fabric ( 2 different ones if you want to make a reversible collar),
• Lightweight fusible webbing,
• Pins,
• Ribbons,
• Scissors, thread and needle.

First of all, download the pattern, cut out the fabrics for both sides, and heat-seal at least one side to the reverse of the fabric. And off you go! Then take out the ribbon and pin along both sides, 1cm from the edge, fig. 2. Do the same with the other side. Then machine-stitch, once the ribbons are attached, pin the 2 sides right sides together fig. 3. Machine-stitch to join the 2 parts, but don't close the shape - you need a hole to turn the collar inside out fig. 4. Scissor the curve of the neckline 0.5 cm from the edge, this will make the neckline round out more clearly fig.5. Then slide and flatten with your iron! tadam it's taking shape fig.6! Tuck in the clean edges of the neckline into a small hem and pin in place fig.7 and finish by closing your collar with thread and needle fig.8.

Don't forget to iron the hand-stitched area, so as to crush the seam and make it as invisible as possible. Finally, attach your ribbon to the 2 collar points! Isn't this little sailor collar charming?
