Hello Hive
Recently I started making my own caps and scarf with colors of fabric to match the different outfits I have.
I started with simple designs since i didn't know how to make this and I keep learning by myself and improving on that simplicity.
It is a norm to cover hair to Sunday mass and other church activities in my country.
Making clothes is easy and often times after they are ready and am to wear them on Sunday to mass I just realize that I don't have a scarf to cover my hair.
A simple solution is to get another fabric of different color and make a hair covering for such outfit.
The measurement for this cap originally ought to be 12 inches length and 12 inches breath on fold.
The breath is the head circumference which is 24 inches divide in two.
Now to get the pleats at the head band area where I folded in two inches for the band of the hair circumference
I added some extra length to the fabric.
I added 10 inches which was pleated into two inches apart before I continued with the sewing and other
Measurements
It is much like I added extra allowance to an original length of 12 inches which was the average length for this kind of cap.
Making it 24 inches before I pleated the excess at the forehead.
Creating pleats
Making it a multi color match
Am making an order for a pearl setting machine this week.
With it i can be able to add pearls of different color to the plain white velvet turban.
Adding black pearl like this can make the cap fit on both black or white outfit.
So embroidery with different other colors of fabric can make this fit with any color of outfit.
There are other hand stitch gathering i can do to make this fall in different shapes and outcome depending on how I want to style and use it. But am leaving this in its simple form for now.
Thats how I make matching turban caps for my various outfit
