Step 6Full Boat
Take the original waistband that you cut from the shirt and cut it open in one spot so you have a long strip to work with. Starting at one of the shoulder seams, pin the band along the neckline, party side to party side. Go all the way around to create the new boat neck collar. After you sew this down, you'll see how it stands up and adds a whole new finished dimension to your shirt!
The only real trick to getting the collar to stand up like that, is to sew the ends of your original waist band strip (the piece that you sew onto the neckline of the shirt) together after you've sewn all around the neckline. This sort of perks up the new collar. Other than that it's just the stiffness of the old waistband that gives it body.
