Collars are so easy to sew that even a first time stitcher will have success! Learn Nancy Zieman’s “Absolute Easiest Way” to sew collars, corners, and sleeves!

The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Collars

In the second episode of The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Collars on Sewing With Nancy, Nancy shares her favorite absolute easiest way to sew collars, corners, and sleeves.

  • Interface the collars: Cut out two collar shapes from Pellon Sof-Shape Interfacing, and fuse one to the wrong side of upper collar, and one to wrong side of under collar.
  • Meet collars right sides together. Stitch outer collar seam.

  • Press seam flat; then press toward under collar.
  • Understitch, stitching seam allowance to the under collar: We like to use a multi-stitch zigzag. Or, you could use a straight stitch.

  • Fold collar along first stitching line, right sides together. Meet collar front edges. Notice outer collar seam allowance is already graded (trimmed) and completely understitched. Nancy’s wrapped-corner sewing technique is what makes this The Absolute Easiest Way to Sew Collars!

    These are great tips on making collars to get the nice, crisp finish. The Bordeaux Ultimate Scissors make the job even easier.

    This is such a great episode. Between the crisp collars and the smooth sleeves it’s hard to say where I learned more. Nancy’s introduction where she talks about her 1st job at Minnesota Fabrics mean so much more after reading, “The Rest of the Story.”
