This is what I've been working on for a couple weeks now. The idea came from Meghan Nielsen who made one (and posted a pattern) from this vintage inspiration.
I was going to sew my own collar, but I'm so glad I ended up using her pattern. The collar lays (lies?) beautifully around the neck. The beading took me 15 hours or so. I ran out of the pearls and had to go back to Michael's. They were out, so I had to head to another Michael's. And the number of knots the thread got while I was beading was ridiculous. Every night of the past couple weeks Eric will ask, "what are you going to do tonight?" and I would just look at him and he'd go, "beading?".
I took some pictures throughout making the collar, but I don't have that SD card with me. I sewed the scalloped collar from some heavy duty off-white fabric I had. If you're curious to see what the steps look like, you can go to the link I posted for where I got the idea.
P.S. I got a new camera lens! I'm so happy with it.
P.P.S. Happy Friday and late Thanksgiving. Eric and I are in Houston enjoying time with some of his side of the family.
