Look how badly the collar has frayed. I grabbed three of my seam rippers and eased the threads holding the collar on apart.
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.
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!

Great job, Gene. The shirt looks brand new. I have a large supply of lint rollers. One in every car, a few in my sewing room and a few more in my closet. They are a wonderful multi-use tool.
Enjoy your weekend.
You are so clever!! Who needs a collar anyway? - Now I have to ask - why 3 different seam rippers? - ;))
What a clever idea!! I think it looks awesome. I really love the way it looks. I never would have thought of this and I have been sewing garments for over 50 years. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
(I, too, am wondering why it takes 3 different seam rippers.)
kkI use to use that foot a lot when making clothing. Great job on the shirt....I hate to give up favorites. Yes, so glad someone shared the fix for the comments. The universe is in alignment now:)
Looks great! I recently did the same thing with one of my mom's blouses. She too will wear her clothes thin! But she loved this particular blouse but I did not love seeing her ragged. So off came the collar!
One of my childhood duties, as the oldest daughter in the family, was turning collars. I didn't know people still did that.
How did you fix the comments? and ... did it work?
I have read a lot of book in the 1800 and they turn the collar...they made do and did some amazing work such as yourself. I am likeyou....if I like something you will probably see me in it a few times a week.
Fabulous job on the shirt re-do. You just can't beat clothes that are comfortable and feel great.
OMG I'm exactly the same way - I'll wear and wear and wear something until it is literally falling apart... and then still wear it !! I have so many shirts that I will NOT give up that have "collar" issues and even a small hole or two!! I figure so long as they're clean and pressed they're good to go.... :)
