This is the first article in English version. I decided to do it, to do not forget this language and also improve it. I hope You will understand.

This project took me a lot of time but in the end I was very satisfied. It was not easy to combine how to sew this soutache directly to jeans.

I managed!

A unique selection of colors. Large variation of Toho beads, goldstones and mineral stones ie. onyx. Soutache, plaited strings and black lace. Clasp and chain made from copper, which beautifully match together with colors of collar.

Everything has to be made accordance with the established order. Collar can be assumed on the material but also as a decoration to your dress (than can have a contact with Your skin), that's why the back side is finished with soft felt.

Work on it I started from cutting the appropriate shape out of paper, then cut out the felt and jeans material in the same shape as paper - collar. Jeans was a basic material to whom all was sewn.

Felt has been prepared in the beginning, because later could be a problem to made right shape. The felt will be glued at the end on the back side of soutache collar, after finishing sewing.

Next step was sewing: soutache, beads and the rest of materials which has to be connected step by step to jeans basis. One site is ready, must map other site.

When the sewing of soutache jewelry has been finished I glued felt on the back side. The collar was finished with tips made from copper, chain with snap hook also from copper.
