Miu Miu DIY - add collar to dress

In Miu Mius Resort 2020-collection they showed some wonderful dresses with long white collars.
As I know I will not get my hands on one of these - or something like it, I just had to try to make a collar myself. I had just purchased a lovely summer dress at Lindex whom is just perfect for the task.
I was a little skeptic starting, cos my sewing, especially with the sewingmachine, hasn't always ended in a good way.
But as it turns out, I am really happy about the result.

I started by making a pattern


As it is a large collar, it was quite easy to make

The collar is attached to the edge of the dress

And finally shoes - the Miu Miu way..with socks😄

The good eye - nazars

Travelling to Greece I have developed an obsession for amulets with an eye in it. Nazars, as they are called, is supposed to protect against the evil eye. Weirdly enough they are often called Evil eye - but has actually the opposite meaning.
I have crocheted key-rings, potholders, wallhangings and pillows, and I have just got started 😂
Showing you some of the stuff I have crocheted.

Waiting on airports, on long flights and so on, never boring with your crochet-stuff in your handbag 😄😄
