Today we’ll learn hi-neck collar kameez/top.Today most of gals wear collar top with jeans,leggings and of course with my fav. patiala salwar. Well there are many types of collar kameez/top but today we’ll see a very simple collar top which is damn easy to stitch.Usually a collar is made with canvas strip but this collar has only a fabric strip.
The draft will be same that simple kurti.
Cut back neckline at 1/2″,the snap follows:

Front neckline: A-B=10″-12″:B-C=1″the snap cut as shown.

For collar take fabric strip of length A-C= 33-34″ and width A-B= 3-4″ or as desired and cut it straight you can use the border design of the fabric. I’ve used the border.

Sewing:
The first step of stitching any collar kameez/top is to join the back and front.Measure the whole neckline i.e including the front and back.This will be the length of the fabric strip.Fold the strip such that A lies on B and wrong side faces wrong side š Keep this strip on right side of kurta and start stitching from point B and covering the whole neckline. If you wish you can overlap the collar at point B-C. The snap.

Hey!! your collar is ready.Now join sleeves,and proceed further and complete the kurta.
Snap of my finished kurta. I have attached a flower piece in the middle of neckline.


Happy Blogging…..

Hi Gurmeet ma’am,
First i would like to thank you for the efforts you take to help and inspire us…
Came across your blog just yesterday and have immensely learnt many small tips given by you. Already tried a collar neck with your advice… but have a small problem with sleeves, since i tried out a short sleeve for the kurti.Kindly can you explain if cutting measurements are different for sleeves of collar neck kurti…
Thanks and hope you will continue inspiring us…

After learning from various sites I used to sew, every time there will be a mistake
either arm hole or neck or other will go wrong.I really felt proud to wear a perfect dress sewed by me of course from yours.
Padded I mean to say bra being attached so we can lower the back.Also you can teach us lining dress.
