It's really awesome that there exists so many different types of collars.  It really allows you to create so many different styles and looks just by changing one element, like a collar.  This tutorial tackles the band collar which looks very simplistic in design but sometimes you really want a simple, clean look.  The band collar is a stand up collar that is somewhat similar to a mandarin collar.  Because it is a collar that stands up, it's essential that you use interfacing.  No one wants a collar that flops over when it shouldn't.  Let Professor Pincushion show you how to create your own band collar so that it looks as nice as can be.
