Wiksten "Peter Pan Collar Tutorial" - does anybody still have it?

Hi there,
I'm new to the forum and kind of new to sewing garments as well. I made my last skirt years ago and just recently (after sewing millions of pillow cases and such) got intersted in sewing my own clothes again.

I'd love to sew a dress with a Peter Pan collar and am now looking for the fanatstic tutorial from Wiksten - it's not on her site anymore. Has anybody saved it and would kindly send it to me as attachment/pdf?

Thanks so much for your help!

I've been hoping to find it also. I just used her cap sleeve tutorial with great results and was soooo disappointed when I followed her links to the Peter Pan Collar Tutorial only to find I was too late.
Unfortunately, I'm no help. I hope to mooch off your results if anyone does indeed still have the tutorial.

I have never seen her tutorial, I wonder what it includes. The method I use for Peter Pan collars I learned from Gail Doane. Instead of cutting out the collar pieces you construct them as a block. Trace your collar, matching the grain lines onto a block of fabric large enough to do both pieces of the peter pan collar. Interface the upper layer, apply any piping, lace, eyelet etc, onto the stitching line. Apply the lining, stitching on the previous stitched line.  Stitch again 1/8" outside of your first stitching. Cut out right up next to that second stitching, about 2 threads away. Turn right side out and press. No wonky collar pieces. Hope that helps.

I was able to recover the peter pan collar tutorial from the internet archive after Jenny deleted it off her old website. Unfortunately, it doesn't save the step-by-step photos, but all the written direction is there.  Let me know if you'd like to at least have that, I can email it to you. Or I can tell you how to get it from the internet archive yourself. Just let me know.

If anyone can tell me how to get ahold of this tutorial I'd be ever so grateful!  I am making an Alice costume for my sister and I  need to add a peter pan collar to the dress for it to really look like Alice---please?  Anybody?
