Detachable collar. Sewing pattern and tutorial
In my “Detachable collar” tutorial you will find a shaped shirt collar pattern with separate stand and a sewing guide. Note, this is not an old style men’s collar, or a “Peter Pan”, or a “Playboy bunny” kind, it is a modern shirt collar that you can wear to the office or a party, or give as a gift to a young fashionista.

Close fitting bodice blocks/slopers ( ladies )
A close fitting bodice block covers you from neck to hips. It gives you a standard shape and a standard system that can then be adapted in myriad ways to produce all sorts of garments.
Once the block pattern is drafted, you can make up the result in fabric and check the fit. Any changes can be transferred back to your block pattern to save effort later and give you a well-fitted pattern that you can use again and again.
Most professional dressmakers and tailors have blocks in all sizes ready, because adapting a block is much simpler and faster than drafting one to client’s personal measurements and the result is just as good.

Having a block that fits you will liberate you from commercial patterns which, as many of us have found, often cannot be relied upon for accuracy.
Ask yourself – How much work does it take to alter a commercial pattern and make it fit? How much time do you spend doing it? How many times have you done it? Do you have to do it over and over again?
Would having a personal bodice block solve these problems?
