A few weeks ago I started making my first collar.
The pictures show the process and then the end outcome of the collar.
First I had to choose what type of pattern I wanted on my collar. Since I like lace and black I chose skulls.
For the actual collar I printed a lot of small skulls and cut them out to fit the pattern piece of the collar.
For the other piece I choose to print the black lace skull in A2 and cut it out for my pattern and pressed both onto the fabric when it was cut out.
After that I had to use inerfacing for my collar like so:
I also had to punch holes in 4 places I wanted my LED lights to be, so i chose two eyes on either side of the collar.
I also had to make a circuit with my thread :
So that when I added the battery in, blue light shone out of the LED lights, so out of both skull eyes.
At some point during the process, the threads must have been touching or so that in the end the LED lighting did not work sadly,
But the final end piece turned out like this, with added press-studs;
I find that it didnt turn out badly considering the fact that it was my first time making a collar and it is a shame the LED lighting did not work, but hopefully it will next time. I do like the deisgn even though now I would have rather the bottom part white and the top part darker because as you can see in the picture above the actual collar part is a lighter black than the bottom. I enjoyed making my first collar and it was a good experiance, even though had to occasionaly unpick a few things that weren't correct, but I learned a lot I find.
