You maybe avoiding sewing a shirt with collar because it looks too hard. I made a tutorial just for the collar part. If you follow every step, you will have a beautiful collar. Try it!
1. Match up the top and bottom parts of the collar and apply interfacing on the piece the will be shown.
2. Sew the top pieces together. Then, turn it out.
3. Cut a very tiny triangular shape at the middle of top and bottom pieces where the two parts are going to join.
4. Use the bottom pieces to sandwich the top piece. Match up the cuts and align the edges.
5. Pin it down all the way, then sew it.
6. After sewing it down, cut a little cuts at the parts that turns. It will look prettier after you turn it out.
6. Iron it down. Now you have a very pretty collar.
7. Finally, sew it together to your shirt or dress. You will first sew the bottom flap to the shirt then fold in the seam of the top flap and sew it down.
That's all. It might take some practice before you make it perfect, but it's a learning process, isn't it?
Have a lot of fun sewing.
