Collar complete!

So this morning I went to the fabric store and picked up these two atrocious fabrics!

I'm sure the people there were judging me.  I sure was.

but ANYWAYS, I used the slightly less ugly of the two to made ruffles.  Lots and lots of ruffles.  So my day consisted of folding, pinning, folding, pinning, folding, pinning, occasional measuring, folding, pinning, folding, pinning, etc. to do this:

which resulted in this!

Yay!  So, pretty pumped I have another piece finished.  Tomorrow I tackle the helmet again!
