Poor tutorial and witty comments...

Steps
------------------

1. Measure your neck, take that measurement and multiply it by two. Cut out a rectangular piece of fabric twice the circumference of your neck and twice the width you want your choker. Mine was 30 in long and 5 inches wide, taking into consideration 0.5” seam allowance.

2. Fold it in half length wise and sew the raw edges together, with a half inch seam allowance.

3. Be sure you leave a gap to be able to turn it.

4. Mark the folded over part opposite to the seam you just sewed together

5. Match that mark to the seam on both ends , pin them together

6. Sew both ends shut

7. Clean up the corners

8. Turn it inside out and iron it

9. Stitch two gathering seams down the middle, in other words stitch the longest length stitch

10. Gather the black ruffles to the desired length, mine is 14.5”. Cut whatever you want to use for the middle, I just used some white ribbon I had, 4 inches longer than your desired length

11. Fold in ¼” of ribbon then pin about an inch of it on the wrong side.

12. Stitch down one side of the ribbon, I used my zipper foot because I find it easier. Leave two and a half inches of the center without ruffles, this will serve to fasten.

13. Stitch down the other side of the ribbon.

14. Attach fasteners on both ends as shown

15. You are done, I did this very quickly and used scraps.
