“Perché è un bravo ragazzo, perché è un bravo ragazzo… e nessuno lo può negar!” Da Oxford allo street style: la classica
Hey y’all, today we’re going to learn how to sew an inset shawl collar! My new Sora Sweater pattern has a pullover option with this type of neckline, and it can be tricky to sew if you’ve never seen how one works before. The Sora Sweater pattern shown above is sewn in a sweater knit, and below...Read More

Good Morning Everyone!! I'm back from a wonderful weekend in Nashville, Tennessee. You may remember that Helen Haughey asked me to help teach a weekend workshop on making the perfect sheath dress. Along with the class, we were treated to a private tour of the new exhibit at the Frist Museum, "Italian Style Since 1945." I'll share a little more about the exhibit in an upcoming post as it was such a treat and of course, I came home with the book!! Last week I came across a number of collar examples that I thought were especially interesting, so I thought I would share them today. We've had other collar inspiration posts in the past. It seems that when it comes to collars, the possibilities are endless! Here's a mandarin collar with what looks to be a detachable convertible collar. I think I've shared this collar in a previous post, but I think it's worth a second look. A shaped mandarin collar with a cut out detail and the added accent of the tie. Beautiful! A double peter pan collar. Take note of the top collaqr and how it tapers to nothing in the back. A convertible collar with a seam. The added insert detail really sets off the collar. Take a close look at this collar. The tips actually have origami type folds. So interesting. The picket is also quite interesting. A simple convertible collar made a little more interesting with the staggering detail. I may have shown this collar in the past, but again, worth another look as it is simply sensational. The next 2 examples are from the same designer. The jacket has 2 collars and the blouse has 3. Two collars with the illusion of a third. Such a beautiful use of lace. The next 2 collars are from the Pattern Magic books. I think these books are well worth the investment. Below is a collage of collars with decorative inspiration. Take a great piece of fabric, make a collar and wear it with everything from a simple sweater to a dress, or under a jacket. Here's another idea of detached collar using interesting details. So, the next time you pull out that pattern to make a blouse, shirt, or jacket, don't just make the boring collar that's shown, spice it up a bit with a little something unexpected!
Detachable collar Can be worn a different ways. Ideal to wear with a shirt, blouse or sweater. Goes with your favorite turtleneck or dickie. Size- this model seats on your lower neck. please measure your neck base. Take your usual size. Between sizes take a size up. I recommend to take a size above your usual size if you like the collar fits looser. Always feel free to send me your neck circumference to insure the fit. Color - rust ( limited edition), more colors are available. Hand covered button for closure. Edges are not raw for this model. Care- dry clean the best way. Made to order 1-2 weeks. Matching cuffs are coming soon. Thank you for shopping at MarinaAsta!
I've been keeping a board on Pinterest called Design Details for a while now, just pinning anything that I found interesting. The other day while cleaning up my boards I noticed I had quite a collection of garments with these embroidered line drawing details on them. They remind me of a more subdued sartorial version of the Lichtenstein paintings I would stare at during trips to the Art Institute of Chicago in high school. It looks to me like these details are a combination of piping, applied cord, or a satin zig zag stitch. I'd love to experiment with this technique a bit, I think it would be a great way to add a bit of humor to your wardrobe. The Archer would be a great base for any of the shirts shown above, or it could be a fun way to refashion an existing shirt. I have some ivory poplin set aside for one, maybe if I'm feeling brave I'll try something like the lower left. I'll let you know how it goes if I do! Would you ever try a graphic embellishment like this?

Let's talk about how to sew and attach the collar and finish the neckline of Banksia Version 3, shall we?
There was a time when a zipper served no other purpose than to close a garment. Zippers have stepped out of their dark seams and have become design accents. We've seen lots of exposed zippers over the years, but I found a few ideas that I thought were rather nice. Some I'm sure you've seen before, but it's fun to be reminded. So I hope you enjoy today's zipper inspiration. This jacket is amazing! For something similar, you could use this pattern from Silhouette Patterns. How about using a zipper as straps. As long as the teeth are strong, I guess this would be okay. I might be a little worried about it unzipping at an inappropriate time!!! Fun idea though. I love the simplicity of this dress and how the touch of the black zippers make it so special. The details of this top are so pretty. I thought this was a very ingenious design. I think that both of the following pictures are made from March Tilton patterns.Just love the use of the zippers as a design and color accent. I don't particularly care for the fabric, but I do like the design. Look closely and you'll see how the darts were manipulated so that the zippers close up the darts and the fullness is then radiated into the skirt. Now, this is interesting, but I'm not too sure about how this would wear. This is from the 2014 Ballenciaga Fall line. This jacket is very interesting. I think I might get lost as to what zips where! Someone commented to me about a cuff that was too tight. I came across this picture and thought that it could possibly be a fun fix for such an issue. If you are doing some repurposing, adding a zipper could really make the design interesting How about adding zippers to inverted pleats? Just a fun design detail. Each opening in this dress is actually a panel that zips closed. Same idea from Shingo Sato. Alexander McQueen. Now that we can buy zippers by the yard, you can do this at home! Use a zipper to create a convertible collar/hood. An interesting idea from Saf-T-Pocket Patterns. The zipper conceals a pocket for your valuables. What a fun idea for children. You can take a ready made sweat shirt and just add the eyes and the zipper mouth. I'm sure you've seen this before, but from Susan Khalje, a pearl accented picked zipper. You can find the article HERE. How about this to die for zipper application? This is from Bunny of http://lasewist.blogspot.com/ You can find the post on this zipper HERE. Have you ever thought, "if only I could find a transparent zipper?" Here's a link. Now, a few creative pieces. I thought this was especially interesting. A little too heavy for my taste, but as an accent, it could really be interesting. The next time you're working on a garment, maybe think about the humble zipper. It just might add a fun and interesting detail to your piece. Zippers are no longer relegated to being hidden!!! Have a wonderful week! Rhonda

Like so many of you, I save a lot of pictures for inspiration. If you want to create beautiful things, it's important to look at everything you can get your hands on as you never know what will spark a little creativity. The first picture is one that I found last week and labeled it, "I Love This!!" I put it in Google images and tried to find its origination, but with no luck. I would love to see the finished garment, so if someone is a little better than I am about finding things, please let me know and I'll post the finished pictures. But for now, isn't this beautiful?!!! Be sure to take a minute or so and really look at the piece as the seam lines are so very interesting. A few weeks back, I did an inspiration post on buttonholes. I found this picture a little later, but I thought you would enjoy it nonetheless. Again, take a close look as the little bias pieces around the buttons as they are finished with thread arrows. What a gorgeous idea for a coat lining. Take a look at this sleeve. And this one. I don't know that I would ever do it, but it is interesting. This sleeve I will be doing. It is just so pretty and delicate. This coat is actually from the late 1800's. I would wear this today in a heartbeat, although I think I would prefer not to have the crocheted twists at the hem. I missed posting this dress when I did the 1960's post, but what a fun little dress! Not for everyone, but still fun. For those who enjoy repurposing, check out this top. It looks like 3 different sweaters were used to create this piece. I love the lines of this skirt. What a fun stripe project this would be. Vintage garments and patterns are always a great source of inspiration. Look closely at this piece. The top actually wraps around to the back closure. Beautifully done. Now, for one of the most disgusting things I've seen in a while...oh my goodness what was this designer thinking???? Sorry about that. I didn't mean to make you spit out your morning coffee ;) But then again, even bad design can spark an idea....maybe. Have a wonderful, inspiration filled week! Rhonda
