Look how badly the collar has frayed. I grabbed three of my seam rippers and eased the threads holding the collar on apart.
Pretty quickly it was separated from the shirt.
I used this foot whatever it is called - Maybe an edge joining foot? It allows me to stitch very close to the edge. So I sewed the collar opening closed.
And the shirt is ready to wear for a few more months or maybe years ? LOL.
Oh by the way, when you do a lot of seam ripping there is one tool that I find very handy. It is this really sticky lint roller.
It grabs most of those bits and helps with the "mess."
I saw a solution for blogger comments at Jeanna's blog. So here is a link to that post. I think it has worked from my blog.
Have a great weekend my friends!
