Hi all,
Somewhere recently, either here or on Yahoo groups, someone posted a way to
turn a jewel neck shirt into a cowl neck. And I'm talking the cowl neck of
the '80s not the 'drape' that passes for a cowl these days.
Does anyone know about this on this list?
Thanks,
AK in PA

Dear AK.

To make a cowl neck from a jewel neck. Fold a large piece of paper
down about three inches. This will become the facing for the cowl.
Measure from your center front neck base down to where you want the
drape to go. Move the pattern piece that measurement over from the
center front, and trace the pattern. Leaving the facing folded down,
cut out the pattern. Change the grainline by drawing a square with
one side parallel to the center front. Then draw a grainline from the
top right hand corner of the square through the bottom left hand
corner.

You can have a cowl in front or in back, but not both, unless you have
some way to control the drape. Essentially what you're doing is
widening the body, so it would fall off in not controlled front or
back.

If at all possible, I prefer to drape the cowl from the fabric that's going
to be used, especially a bias woven cowl, or a knit cowl. They all hang
just a bit differently.
