Collar edge sewn on

I have the top and ends of the collar edge sewn on and it looks great!
****Question for anyone who has done something like this-will it be ok to leave the bottom free or will it curl when washed?
All suggestions and advice greatly appreciated!!!

Scrunchie in use & Checking collar trim

You can't tell from the picture, but I have very thick hair and I wanted something that will be seen even if I just wear a loose pony tail and I think this will do very nicely! Although, today, you are seeing just a glimpse of my hair-it's waist length and today it's braided to try and keep a bit cool. I love that you can see the pattern and the color so well(I had my daughter help my put it in and take the picture).

I wanted to see how much of the collar trim is done by putting up to the shirt collar edge. It's over half way and I am excited! My daughter suggests that I just do the front since you don't usually see the back collar with all the hair I have and I like that suggestion. I will post it when it's complete and sewn on(hopefully within 2 weeks!). :)

Curds and Whey getting there

I have made some ok progress on this with all the other things I have done. It's now about 7 inches long. There are some mistakes which are not too noticeable and so I just left them alone. I hope to have this done next month. Looking for suggestions on how to sew it on to a shirt securely and without other thread showing. Thanks for any help. :)

Making progress

It's still not very far, but I have gotten along ok so far with this pattern. I can't wait to see it finished, but I think that will be awhile. :)

Tatting again :)

I have had about 2 weeks frustration over the 2 projects I messed up, but I am back to work :)
I started Mary Konior's Curds and Whey from Tatting with Visual Patterns in LadyShuttleMaker's Peach Pandorea size 80. I love the start. I want it to be something I can use on my peach shirt to fancy it up a little. I am praying I don't mess this one up and I am taking it slow! :)
