131 AUTOMOBILE COLLAR LESSON NO. 54 To begin this collar, first prepare a foundation similar to the standing collar. In beginning this collar directly draw a line from A to B and make the space 14 inches and 1 inch allowed, which makes 15 inches including seams. Make from C to D, 1 inch and curve a line from A and D to B. Now measure from A to G, D to O, and B top, 2½ inches for the width of under collar or which we may call the stand of this collar. Extend from G to H and F to I, ½ inch and connect a line from H to A and I to B. This completes the under collar or the foundation of this collar.

Now begin the upper part or top collar. Measure from C to E, 1 inch and make curves from A, E to R, which will be the opposite curve A, E to B. Now measure from A to K, E to N, B to J is 3 inches for the width of top collar and extend the top collar from A to L and G to M with 1 inch and then curve the entire upper collar from A and L to K and from K, N , J and M to B. This will complete the entire collar. After the entire collar is finished allow a tab for lapping over when buttoning, which shall be attached to the under collar and therefore run out a curved line from the under collar from B to P and I to Q and allow 2 inches for this spacing between B to P and I to and if an additional tab is wanted at the other end of the collar, which is sometimes necessary for a more comfortable buttoning add 1 inch space at the under collar from A to H, which will be continued with curving out at the under collar the same as the other side with the only exception that this tab is to be 1 inch instead of the other tab at P and B, which is 2 inches and curve as shown on the diagram.

To cut out, notice that it consists of 2 pieces, under collar and top collar and when the entire collar is cut out, space between E to D; from A to B is thrown away or in order to cut out the collar properly, begin to cut the collar all around at the outside and the inside cut from A and D to B and from A and E to B so that the entire inside space at C is all destroyed.
