Garment manufacturing is a collaborative effort across various departments, resulting in the transformation of raw
materials into fashionable clothing items.

Collars
Sewing a shirt collar involves several steps. Let’s break it down into a simple procedure:
1 Choose a pattern
▪ Start with a sewing pattern that includes a collar design. Collars are usually integrated into the shirt or dress
design rather than added later.
▪ Opt for a pattern labeled “easy” or “beginner” if you’re new to sewing collars.
2 Select fabric

▪ Choose fabric for the collar. Your pattern will specify the type of fabric needed.
▪ Pre-wash and dry the fabric to prevent shrinkage.
3 Cut out collar pieces
▪ Use the paper pattern included with your sewing pattern to cut out collar pieces from your fabric.
▪ Cut around any notches included in the pattern for alignment later.
4 Add interfacing

▪ Iron interfacing onto the wrong side of one collar piece.
▪ Interfacing adds structure and stability.
