Crew Neck to V Neck Collar Switch-a-Roo

Remove Crew Neck Collar

1. Cut following the collar as close to the seam.

2. With shirt laying flat, position the v neck collar on t shirt to find and mark the bottom of the 'V'.

3. Fold the t shirt length wise, top to bottom, vertically...like a hot dog! Yes I went totally old school...all the way back to kindergarten. Please view pic4 for clarification.

4. Cut the curve to the marked bottom of the 'V'. Please view pic5 for clarification.

2. Pin the mid point of the collar and the opening together.

With the t shirt right side out,

3. Pin the entire collar to the t shirt, right side facing right side.
