3. Press fusible to top collar, place gathered ruffles to collar as instructed in pattern view.
4. With right sides together, sew neck seam and collar together leaving small opening for turning.
5. Fold bias strips, right sides in, sew a ¼ seam, turn with a loop turner or use a bias trim attachment.
