I’ve made some new collars, two using navy velvet and one crocheted.
The velvet collars are lined with navy cotton drill.
There are images of the collars I’d made before here.

This one is embroidered with cotton yarn and beads.
Fastens with cotton grosgrain ribbons in cream colour.

This one has very delicate silk crocheted trimmings.
Fastens with cotton and acetate grosgrain ribbons in grey.

This cotton yarn is shiny like silk but it’s firm and doesn’t fluff, very good.

I’ve made the sailor style scarf in navy velvet this time to go with winter coats. The chambray version looked pure and friendly but this one is more elegant and mysterious. I’d wear this by folding it in half and making the edges go through the loop like in the first image, or tie it at the back like in the second image. I like the slanted edges for their subtle ribbon effect. made with 100% cotton

This is my latest work, a sailor style scarf.
I’m always fascinated by school girls and their uniforms and this combination of blue fabric and white lines remind me of the collar of my sailor style school uniform. The slanted edges remind me of the big pre-made bow tie I wore with it as well. Made with chambray cotton and crocheted cotton trimmings.

I heard collars are “in” this season so I’ve made some. But I actually like them as an item and have made a crocheted one for myself before and I wear it once in a while. I think these will look good with a simple top, shirt or a dress. I saw one little boy(or a girl, I couldn’t tell) try on at Renegade Craft Fair(well, his/her mum put it on the child) one of the pale green ones and it looked amazingly cute! So I know they can be worn by kids as well.
