Half Patta Collar-Cutting & Stitching

There are many different types of collars available in fashion.
We have already learned some of them like stand collar, halter(high neck) collar, shirt collar, blazer(coat) collar & patta collar.
At present, we will learn about the half patta collar-cutting & stitching method.

The basic method of cutting for the collar in kurti is the same.
Neck cutting is different for different collars.
The neck width is 0.25″ less in collared than the regular neck.
Let’s say, in a regular kurti the neck width is 3″ whereas in a collared kurti the neck width is 2.75″.

Follow these few steps for the same:

CUTTING METHOD:

• Let’s take an example,
  • Front neck length: 5.5″-6″
• As shown in figure(a), first let us understand the front side neck cutting.
• Draw a rectangle with a neck width of 2.75″ and a length of 6″.
• Then take a 1″ diagonal to draw a line down from the point of the width of the neck.
• Then make a 1″ curve from the top of the square, as shown in figure(a).

• After that, make a neck strip from the canvas in the regular neck to make a neck like the shape below in figure(b).

• Cut a 1.5″ width and 18″ length strip in the canvas for the collar, as explained below in figure(c).
• Cut 3″ width and same length strip in the fabric for the collar.

STITCHING METHOD:

• Put the canvas strip in between the fabric and stitch it to make a collar belt.

• After making the front neck, join the shoulder joint and then fit the belt, according to figure(d).

Other Objectives:

• Piping can also be done on the border of the patta of the collar, mirror can also be done in the patch in between.
• You can also do the pattern in the collar strip.
• The patta collar is suited in a regular kurti, or knee-length one-piece.
