Make It: Wet Hair Turban

Yes I bought one of those Turbie twist things that you see in the seen it on t.v section. Years ago before I was sewing. They may be tacky but for someone with long hair they are awesome. If you don`t know what they are you use them when you get out of the shower to wrap your hair in instead of a towel. They stay up and in place. I use mine all the time but it`s been a pain only having one unless you do laundry daily, I`m more of a every second day laundry gal :) I wanted a few more but at 12$ each I thought why pay for it when I can make them myself and re-purpose some old towels in the process. Super easy here`s how:
You will need one long towel, scissors, a turbie towel thing or a coat hood, sewing machine, thread, elastic, washable marker or fabric marker, pins.

1. Fold your towel in half
2. Lay your turban on the folded towel on the fold, If you are using a hood the above picture shows you how to extend it for the right size.
3. Trace out your pattern with your marker or you can pin your fabric down. Cut out your pattern through the folded fabric.
4. You will need to cut a 1 inch piece of elastic.

 5. Fold the elastic in half and place the loop between the two sides with a little sticking out the top. Pin your elastic in place.

 6. Sew around the top curve of the fabric, make sure to back stitch a few times over the elastic to make it strong. Then Sew around the bottom curve. You could fold in the opening and do a finishing stitch but I did not bother. Trim the excess elastic ends.

 7. Turn inside out and you have your very own Wet Hair Turban!! :) Easy Right. My daughter modeling our new wet hair turbans :) This one really does adjust from my head to hers. One towel made two turbans for me and it`s another option for old towels.
