Waistbands Before you turn through the corner of the waistband, fold the corner of the inner waistband up, and then tuck it and all the waistband seam allowances behind those of the garment (and zipper) waistline. Hold them in place as you turn the waistband through, and it will all sit very flat and neatly. An edgestitching presser foot can make this process very easy. If you don’t have one, work slowly along the seam, gently flattening and opening the seam with both hands as you sew. Collars: You can add or alter a collar on any shirt or bodice. In doing so, you'll change the whole look of the shirt. This is a classic shirt collar that can be used for men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing. The stand attaches to the neckline and creates a firm base for the fall of the separate collar. The stand on its own can also be used as a mandarin collar. A convertible collar is a relaxed style that is most commonly used on casual shirts for men, women, and children. It can also be used on dresses, pajamas, and casual jackets. It is usually worn open, but it can button up to the neckline. A Peter Pan collar is a relatively flat collar that is always worn closed. It frames the neckline with either a single piece (opening only at the front) or two pieces (opening at the CF and CB) and is commonly used on blouses, dresses, and children’s wear with either CF or CB zippers or button closures.
