I'm making a little toddler dress with a peter pan collar that zips up the back. I've just finished basting the collar on the neck seamline. Is there any reason why I can't just go ahead and sew this on and then serge the seam allowance down to about 1/4 inch and then understitch that serged seam allowance? instead of putting in a facing and then understitching the facing?
it just seems like it would work and be so much faster and probably more comfy for the little girl? Any thoughts on this? Maybe I am just being way too lazy but I hate doing facings in the neckline.
