Ok, I did the collar!

So, work up to the collar part.

Then, place the collar on top of the dress, right sides facincg. Fold the facings to the inside, and they will overlap the collar edge a bit. Note, I didn't overlap quite enough.





Sew down the collar.

Next, place the binding strip on top. You will be working right on top of where you just sewed the collar down. Make sure to overlap the facings, so the binding is enclosed when you turn the facings out.






Turn the whole piece over. Fold the binding in to meet the collar edge, the fold again, over the collar. Sew all the way around.


Here's how it looks after you turn the facings





I topstitched from the right side, so the collar would lay flat.
