Materials:
- Satin remnants
- Sew-on snaps (larger is preferred here)
- Sew-on Velcro
- Hand sewing needles
- Thread
Choker:
Measure around your neck. This will be your choker length measurement. Our chokers are approximately 7/8” wide.
Cut a piece of fabric 3” wide by your desired length measurement, plus 2” for overlap.
With wrong sides together, stitch your fabric.
Trim down your seam allowance, then flip inside out.
Press your piece flat (a quilter’s pressing bar is useful here!).
Finish the edges of your choker, then hand stitch velcro or snaps to the ends.
Attachments:
Time to put it all together! To attach your bows and collar, grab your snaps and hand stitching needles. The collar should attach to the neckline point of the chest armor.
We use a combination of Velcro and snaps on our bows. Our bows are attached at the center with Velcro and snaps on the main bow. We also add snaps to the tails of our chest bows if the top ones don’t provide enough support.
