Collar Band Draft

I did finally finish the scarf, even in time to wrap it up for the "Garage Sale" gift exchange at our family's Christmas celebration... unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it. That's ok, the second knitting project will be in the works as soon as I learn to read the pattern better! The pattern is from Dovetail Designs:


In the mean time I am working on some small sewing projects, starting with a set of Victorian collars for my dad. These collars literally button onto the shirt, which has a band already attached. I tried this a few years ago without success; however, since then I have learned to draft collars, so I am hoping that this will be a better experience. This morning I got the pattern out that I had been using, and the measurement of the band was not all that different from what I was drafting to, so I decided to make a muslin (mockup) of both:

The upper one is the one that I drafted using Kenneth King's method, and the bottom one is the one from the Buckaroo Bobbins pattern, we'll see which one works better.
