UNDER COLLAR ACCESSORY

My project is so easy! It will only take you a few minutes (depending on your sewing prowess) to revamp your plain collared button down. Here, I decided not to put the sequined lace over the collar to make it more discreet and to just give a hint of surprise. So here’s how to do it! Enjoy! 


WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
-collared button down
-sequined lace
-needle and thread
-scissors

STEPS:
-Flip the collar upward
-Place the sequined lace under. Make sure that the collar is not too wide to cover the under lace entirely, if that so, adjust the lace lower.
-Start sewing from the front to the back until the other side of the front.
