Peter Pan collars are a classic look worn by women since the early 20th century, but they scream Twiggy and Rosemary Woodhouse due to their mod come-back in the 60’s.

I have always loved this classic look, and wanted to put my own spin on it including sequin plaid and faux leather.

Here are 3 modern DIY ways to create your own timeless, classic Peter Pan collar inspired by the Spring 2012 Fashion Week runways.

Here is the paper pattern I used to create my Peter Pan collars in the video. The marked spots measure 8 1/8″ on my pattern, so print your out at that size, or adjust according to your neck measurements.


You can play with the size of the lapels and make them as large or small as you want. Add a scalloped edge to make a scalloped collar! How would you spin it?
