Mix and Match

The individual pieces of Children's Corner patterns such as collars, sleeves and pockets are interchangeable.  You can make better use of the patterns you buy plus expand your child's wardrobe by "mixing and matching" the pattern pieces to create new garments.  Each season we will give you a new idea!

Most newer machine have a straight-stitched scallop decreative stitch available. To make this collar use a Peter Pan collar pattern with no trim or piping only. Draw the collar shape on wrong side of fabric. Pin another piece of fabric for collar lining beneath this with right sides together. Using an open-toed embroidery foot, place edge of this presser foot on line where collar was drawn. Select scallop stitch on machine. Adjust stitch length to about 1.25. Stitch around collar. Do not stitch neck edge. Cut out collar leaving a scant 1/8” seam allowance at little scallops. Clip scallops at inside points. Turn to right side and roll out little scallops carefully. Press.
