Hello Hive
A warm Tuesday to us in the community, I hope that we are all doing well and bearing with the hot weather. The weather has been extremely hot lately and we are all expectant of the rains over here. I know quite well that we all have different weather conditions and it might just be very cold over there unlike here.
Look at the lovely piece of women's hair wear. This is called a turban cap and I have made this lovely piece out of recycled clothes.
I'm sure you won't believe that a women skirt can be transformed into caps or something else with much usefulness.
Lately turban caps, berrets and fascinators have been trending in the women fashion world and I love how all of these just sit well and beautifies a woman's head. I equally got tired of tying scarfs on my head all the time and wanted to wear this caps instead. A turban cap us very comfortable, especially when you have used a soft fabric to sew them.
I have this skirt here which I got tired of wearing and still doesn't feel like throwing away the fabric pieces yet. The fabric is torn in some places but still maintained it's bright color, I'm just not ready to dispose this yet as it will be useful to me for a good while.
I cut of the torn parts and started construction. I didn't know the style of turban cap I desired so I checked up YouTube for some tutorials. From there I was able to get the cross designed which I loved and determined to replicate.
The making process is simple. Once you get some piece of fabric of your desired length about 20" and 10" length and width separately arranged as seen
Using a needle and thread, create a gathers of both joining them at the midpoint like this
Next you cross each side against each other as seen.
Open them up and stitch together
I had to stitch them up with a piece of paper over the surface of the fabric as the fabric is a kind difficult to sew unless with some form of lubrication. Needles doesn't bore through this fabric easily.
That was done and this is the beautiful outcome of my turban cap.
Majority of the turban making process was done with hands and needles making it an easy tutorial for anyone to do even if they do not have a sewing machine.
You can reach out for the link to the tutorial page if you desire to replicate something like this for yourself.
