Yesterday I made a couple of waistcoats for a weekend at the end of the month and all was going fine until it came to the collar. The idea is to create a collar in the style of a jacket from 1795 - the only reference I have is in a book 'The evolution of fashion'. It is an exagerated collar on a high stand that should almost brush the gentlemans jaw - mine doesn't it stands at an angle away from the face. Everything else is OK just this one detail. Anybody any ideas?
PS - How do you get pins to stay in satin?
thanks
