Paul Chevallier on Instagram: "I made this shirt about a year ago and I've never really worn it because the collar sits so darn poorly!!  here's why. your collar piece is usually a flat rectangle that turns into a very short cylinder, so the top edge of the collar has the same circumference as the inside edge sewn to the shirt. if you decide to make it the same length as the neckline, the top edge of the collar will stick straight up in contrast to your neck, which slopes inwards.  luckily, knit fabric can stretch. by making the long axis of the collar shorter, the top edge of the cylinder gets a smaller circumference so it hugs your neck better. similarly, if you make the short axis, there's less of a difference between the sewn side and the exposed side by your neck.  #sewingtutorial #di Tea Shirt, Diy Sewing Clothes, A Year Ago, Sewing Clothes, Sewing Ideas, Sewing Tutorials, Diy Sewing, A Year, Knitted Fabric
