Do-It-Myself: Detachable Collars

Trend Alert: Detachable Collars

I've been seeing a lot of bloggers wearing detachable collars and I got intrigued about it. Well, I guessed it's also a hot trend in the fashion world and a unique accessory that add spice to your outfit.

Since, I have a talent in sewing (take note of my word: Talent...hahaha!) I had an idea that pop into my mind saying, why not make my own detachable collar. I think that it's just easy to make as long as you know the procedures, right? So, I gave it a try and here's what I was able to come up.

These are scrap fabrics from my previous Do-It-Myself sewing projects and some excess fabrics from the clothes I cut and altered.

Good thing I still have this pearls which I also used in making my own accessories. This is my interpretation of a baby collar(hahaha). I'll put these pearls around it to give it a cutie girly-girly plus sweet touch on it.  

Here I am struggling to insert the thread into the needle. Gosh! I think I really need to wear my eye glasses.

I asked my son Ton-ton to take a picture of me while sewing the pearls.

I thought sewing these pearls is easy as 1,2,3... I was wrong(hahaha). But, I'm not giving up! I know I can do this. I trust myself of course(hehehe).

Finally, after hours of hard work and back aches! Here's my finished products! Jaraaan!!!
