CUTTING
LAYOUTS
Fold fabric in half against
the grain with RIGHT sides together.
See CHARTfor
the correct size. |
|
SEWING
With the TURBAN fold RIGHT
sides together, sew* side edges.
Be sure to leave 1/2" opening
for TAB.
This is a good time to try
the TURBAN on... be sure it's not too big...
increase the seam allowance
to correct fit.
Fold TAB in half lengthwise,
with RIGHT sides together.
Sew the seam.
Turn TAB RIGHT side out, bring
seam to center on UNDERSIDE.
(*... I like sewing the edges
better then serging... it's easier to fold the TURBAN front and back.) |
 
|
SERGING
OR SEWING
Press open seams. Press under
3/8" and zig-zag around the lower edge.
Or you can stretch and serge
around the lower edge. |
|
TURBAN
(front)
Press under 1 1/4". Stitch
in the ditch to form hem.
Insert TAB through the opening. |
|
Wrap the TAB around and sew
the ends together...
be sure to sew as close to
the TURBAN as possible.
Cut off the extra fabric and
zig-zag the edge. |
|
| Rotate the TAB seam to the
underside of TURBAN. |
