In this lesson video, I'll be walking you through the list of materials used to make a turban headband, as well as the steps to measure and cut out the fabric pieces we're working with to make a turban headband. Now again, this is what we are making in this class, which is a fabric turbine headband with tendons or approach. And the materials used to make this project are one fabric, any color or type of fabric wish, however, I use cotton fabric in this class, you can choose to use a stretchy fabric or a plain fabric. Anyone of your choice is fine too. Uh, you all purpose glue, HESI, three elastic band or strip, which is a medium-size and it measures half an inch wide for measuring tape, five scissors, six, hot iron, seven rind stone pendants, which can be sold on hand stitched, 800 needle and thread, nine pen or a marker, ten sewing pins, which is optional. And then finally, the PDF sewing pattern templates are attached for you below this video, which is optional to use as well. Now, beginning with step one manual and cut out twice on the bulk fabric, the length of 5 " two times and a width of 25 " two times as well. Then cutout two pieces of fabric along the same measurements using the scissors. Repeat this same measurements again on the bulk fabric to cut out the second piece of fabric, identical to the first one. Step to take one of the cutout, rectangular piece of fabric that we cut out in step one and then fold it in half on the wrong side of the fabric. After folding it, you ensure that the spiritual edges of the fabric needs each other and aligned next using a hand needle and thread. First tie a knot at the end of the thread and then begin to hand Sue, running stitches along the raw edges of the fabric. So the raw edges by walking your needle and thread from left to right and all the way through to the end of a long piece of rectangular fabric. After you, I don't show him the first piece of folded fabric. Use a needle and thread to tie is secure node by looping the tread and needle in on itself three times and then cut out the thread using a scissors. Repeat this same soy technique to solve the second rectangular cut-out piece of fabric along the raw edges using your hand chunk vulva and the first sown rectangular piece of fabric from it's wrong side, onto the right side of the fabric, pass one of the fabric and through the tunnel of the fabric, and then out through the other side. Repeat this same toning process for the second. So nice of fabric as well to Tony it from the wrong side onto the right side of the fabric. Antoni, over the fabric to its right side after was also repeats the same tonic process that we covered in step three to turn over the second fabric to his right side. And when you are done, both fabrics begin to look identical, would look like this, an identical to each other. Now, now we have two identical soon fabric pieces. We sat them down and move on to the next step in the next video lesson. Now join me in the next video lesson three, welcome to making the fabric turbine headband as we'll be continuing the class. And I'll be walking you through the steps on how to iron, twist and fold the fabric pieces that we just cut out into the signature Torben twists, not sheep. Now see you in the next lesson video. 3. Iron, Twist and Fold the fabric into the Turban shape: We'll be continuing the class here and the third lesson video. And I'll be walking you through the continuous steps on how to iron twists and fold the fabric pieces that we caught out in the previous lesson video into a signature to ban twist, not design shape. Now, continuing with the next step, which is step four, tick the first fabric piece and then straighten out the fabric on the right side and also stretching the songs seem edges. Then using your hand and a warm ion begin to ion and flatten the stitches on the edges of the fabric piece also press flats the folded edges at the other side of the fabric as well. Repeat this same process on. And for the second fabric piece that is identical to the first onto your bolt fabric pieces. Nice and ion flat. Step five to begin creating this signature TO been twist, not design, begin by placing the first fabric piece diagonally on a flat surface and then place the second fabric piece diagonally as well across and over the first fabric piece. Next, take one edge of the fabric, which is the edge at the top right corner, and then cross it over the center to meet the edge of the fabric that is at the bottom left corner. Repeat this same process by taking the other edge at the top left corner and then cross it over the center to meet the edge of the fabric at the bottom-right corner. After that, join these two edges together and then pull the fabric pieces, gets the signature twists, not design at the center of the folded fabric.

You then proceed next to using go ahead save or glucagon to hold down and secure the folds and layers of the pieces on both sides of the toolbar headband and also secure the signature design of the center twist naught at the center. This glue and method would help ensure that the center is in place and to maintain its shape of the Sorbonne and the syntax wish not design this glowing metal will also help to ensure that the fabric stays even when it's been moved to prevent it from shifting and losing its shape. Moving on to the next step, which is step seven, after the layers of fabric has been glued down side-by-side, I showed in the previous step. Next, you begin walking on the two ends of our turbine headband to also prepare it to add the elastic strips next, first using a Seasons Hotels and trim off all the excess fabric or both of the ends of the turbine headband, that is the right side and the left side of the Torben had been after cotton out all the excess raw edges of the overlap fabric to ensure and make sure it is equal U. Then use your finger and begin to fold the vertical edges inwards and in on itself on both sides. This is to ensure that you hide the raw edges are both ends and also to ensure that the edges are knitting dog in preparation for adding the elastic in the future steps as a pro tip, you can decide to use a hot iron to iron down this folded edges to ensure that the folds are secure and in place before moving on to the next step.

Subsequently repeats this coating process to cut out another identical elastic strip to make it a total of two shots. Elastic strips, which we'll be using to attach on the TBA and headband ends in the next step, step 91 of the 2.5 " elastic strip that we previously cuts out and then put small amount of glue at the edges of the illustrious trip. Then talk the glute edges inside the folded ends of the head bands on both sides of the head band, which is both the left side and the right side, and repeats the same gluing process to blue chalk and then attach the ends of the 2.5 " elastic strips to the folded ends of the turbine head bands as well. Repeat this same glue in and talking process for the second identical elastic strip that will also cut out. I don't glue in ane the edges of the elastic band strip onto the ends of the turbine headband. Move on to the next step, which is step ten.
