Hello kids,
I need some suggestions/help on what to do with this shirt I'm working on.



the stencil is this gorgeous picture that looks very little like Audrey Hepburn, but is. The pink part is felt, because i didnt like the texture of the stencil and I like how it looks half felt half paint.


I cut the collar off of a mens dress shirt and hoped to attach it kind of sideways and not straight on like when you button up your shirt. I'm having trouble sewing it on the shirt, because I sewed it on and I couldn't put my head through the hole of the shirt. I'm thinking it's the material of the collar from the dress shirt, because the black shirt is actually pretty stretchy.
If I attached elastic to the bottom of the dress shirt collar and then sewed it to the shirt then the neck of the black shirt wouldnt be so stiff and I could actually pull it up over my head. I'm hoping to finish it by saturday so I can wear it out.
Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated.
