Why Your Collar Points Aren’t Sharp (And How to Fix It)

Learn how to sew a shirt collar with sharp, even points — the same method I have used for 30 years as a tailor. Step by step, you will see how to cut, interface, sew and attach a classic collar and stand to a shirt. This collar is drafted for a 45 cm (17 3/4 in) neckline — it fits a women's size M (US 6–8 / EU 38–40) or men's XS–S. To make it fit anyone: measure your shirt's neckline and draft the collar to match. What you will learn: – Cutting and interfacing the collar and stand – Sewing sharp collar points with no bulk in the corners – Attaching the collar to the neckline evenly, no puckering – Clean topstitching that looks store-bought 🧵 I post new sewing videos every week: sewing from scratch (Sewing School), smart repairs (Fix It Right) and old-clothes makeovers (Old to New).
