I really like these ideas for detachable collars. This will be a great idea for using up precious fabric scraps that I can’t bear to part with.

Thanks for this post! May I ask where this spider brooch comes from? Love it ;))
Instead of step 1 (cutting off collar) I would simply measure and draw the collar from an existing shirt as I don’t own a shirt I could damage, umm, I don’t even have a proper shirt with a collar ;)))
