Emily Tao has added some a new video to her series of pattern drafting tutorials on You Tube. This one shows how to lower the neckline of a collared shirt. Her tutorial shows how to lower the neck and adjust the length of the collar and collar stand so they fit to the new length. For shirts with convertible collars, she shares a tip for cutting a new facing without tracing. Go to her video to see how it’s done.
