 Hi you guys, Lindsay here. Welcome back to my channel, Inside to Him. I can almost pretty much guarantee this is not what you were expecting when you clicked on this video, but I just got done doing a little self-love self-care treatment with my brand new makes this lovely hair wrap, my wristbands that prevent the water from dripping down your arms whenever you wash your face. I know, right? And a super cute, super cute turban style headband that keeps all your little wispies out of your face while you are masking and moisturizing and doing all the lovely things you need to do. So this is clearly my DIY gift idea number three for all of you guys. If you're keeping up week one, we did pom poms. Week two, we made this cute scarf. It's the pull through style scarf, keyhole style scarf, links in the description box for both of those videos. And today I'm going to be showing you how to make all three of these for a really cute like gift basket bath idea where you can make the wrap the headband and the wristbands, put it in a gift basket with like a face scrub and a candle and a bath bomb or something like that and have a super cute like well thought out, fully formed gift idea, which I think is super, super fun. So for these projects, all three of them, you need about 20 inches wide of 56 inch wide fabric. You really don't need a lot. Or if you only have 45 inch wide fabric, then you need like 25 inches and you'll be able to fit all the pieces in. You really just need a bunch of little rectangles. The largest piece is this. And it's kind of like a half of a heart with the top of the heart like filled in. And then the bottom of the heart is kind of like rounded. So that's what this piece ends up looking like. The rest of them are rectangles. I have all the dimensions in the description box. I also have a link to a cricket design space file. So if you have a maker with a rotary blade, you can just send this all off to your maker and it'll cut it for you and you don't have to do any rulering or anything like that at all. I am using a beautiful baby pink French terry. It's not even French terry. I think it's just truly terry cloth that I got from Joanne last year, maybe two years ago. I think it's one of those things that they kind of keep in stock regularly. So look out for that. Terry cloth is not super, super hard to find either. You can probably find it on fabric.com as well. But I also think like a waffle knit would be really, really great or any kind of luxurious bath kind of fabric. So keep your options open. I love the terry because it is absorbing and it's going to take on all the water especially for the wristbands because you know you're washing your face and the water is dripping down. It's collecting and catching it all, absorbing it all to prevent it from running down and getting on to your sleeves or down your elbows. I mean I've even had it run down my arm. It's so annoying. So I was thrilled that I came up with my little superpower just to keep everything nice and tidy and not annoying. It's annoying enough to wash your face. Let's just make it a little bit more enjoyable. Anyways so other than the fabric all you need is a little bit of elastic. I have two inch elastic, half inch elastic and quarter inch elastic and then one button. And I'll talk you through the links and all of that that you need as we get into the tutorials. So you really don't need much. I'm using a sewing machine and a serger. The serger is for this and nothing else. Oh my can't think of anything else. So let's just let me show you how to make them already okay. Take it away. Alright so I have all my pattern pieces cut out. Now I've already done a full length 20 plus minute step-by-step in-depth tutorial on how to make this headband. So I'm just going to go over the highlights of how to make it today. If you need more instructions check the description box. I will have a link for the like really detailed tutorial for this. But I guess let's jump right in. Okay so we're going to start with the head wrap first. I have grabbed my favorite little just box of buttons and found one that I thought you know kind of matched. It doesn't obviously really matter but like I just didn't want it to be too too big and I didn't want the color to be like too wild. So I just found a cute little gray one and then you'll also need some quarter inch or even eighth of an inch elastic. That is what is going to tie around our little button here. So grab those two notions and then let's get sewing. So the first step is going to be to sew around this entire outer edge. For all the projects today my seam allowance is going to be a quarter of an inch so just keep that in mind. So I am just going to run this through my serger and call it a day. Really super simple. Okay that seam is completely sewn as you can see here. Now we are going to handle this long raw edge here. So the first step is going to be to serge it just to finish off those raw edges. You could also do a zigzag stitch and then we are going to need to sew in our elastic as we are essentially hemming this edge. So we're going to have it serged just imagine that and then we're going to fold over the raw serged or I guess the serged edge all the way around and when we get to the small pointy end that is where our elastic goes and you really don't need much elastic just a little loop that will fit over your button. So if you want to measure your button and then trim off a little bit leave a little for like a seam allowance type of deal and then this is what you are going to place inside the seam like so. So it's going to face into the inside of the head wrap. You've done that you have a perfectly hemmed little head wrap and you've got your elastic tied in or sewn in to the small end. The next and final step is to take your button and to place it on the right side of the large opening and you're just going to center it right smack dab in the over that center seam and not too close to the edge but you know just outside of your hemming would be plenty good and then when you wrap your hair around your head this gets looped over the button and that's what holds it around your head. Super simple okay pretending that this cute little basket is a head. Here is our little turban placed onto a head and you can see how it operates with the elastic just holding everything twisted up holding it into place and it's a super cute lightweight um way to kind of towel dry your hair before you blow dry it and for those of us with tons and tons of hair we know how invaluable that can be and saves us a ton of time. All right so next up we're going to work on our wristband isn't she so cute. So I have my rectangle of fabric here and I've got a little bit of elastic. The elastic is pretty much the widest part of my hand so right where your thumb and all of that is um with a little bit of overlap for some seam allowance just to make it nice and easy to get on. It doesn't necessarily have to fit super snug down at the base of your wrist because we're just trying to prevent the water from dripping down your arm. I think you know midway up the up the forearm would be fine and that way you don't have to worry about sizing too much you don't have to go to whoever you're making this for and get out of measuring tape and start measuring all these random places on their wrist. So I think it's a little bit forgiving where you can place it but it's super super simple to sew. There's only a little bit of hand sewing and actually I even just kind of like uh top like I top stitched it I'll show you when we get to the end there and it doesn't look terrible. I mean depending on who you're giving this to you could get away with this and they would still think it was super cute. They may not even ever turn it um inside out but I am going to fold this the long side right sides together and then I'm going to place some uh little snips a couple of inches in from each of the raw edges and the first step is going to be to sew in between those two notches again with the quarter inch seam allowance. All right so once you have that sewn it looks something like this now you are going to turn this tube right sides out so I like to keep this seam that we just sewed on the center of the wrong side so that whenever you're done with it it looks like that and so then you take this whole thing with the pretty side facing up and you turn these two little short ends in toward each other so you're going to sew the short end right sides together um all along this edge here it's a little bit finicky but it can be done okay and once you're done with that this is what you have and when you pop this right sides together or pop it out where that seam goes into the middle you can tell that now you have a tube uh with just this little opening here and that is where we are going to thread in our elastic so you just kind of wiggle it in there this uh really wide elastic is pretty easy to push through without like a elastic threader or a safety pin I like to lap them on top of each other like so to make for a less bulky seam okay now you're just going to pull this out like with any elastic band and you're going to sew you know the x shape I think I might since it's such a small seam allowance I think I'm going to just zigzag all the way down um but whatever you have to do to attach the ends of the elastic to each other all right and once you've got the elastic uh sewn together then you can close up your little opening here so you can do it uh hand stitching to make it really pretty and nice and neat or you can kind of just smush these together I'm using a fabric with a lot of like nap and loops and stuff so it kind of sort of gets hidden so I'm and let's be real this is just for me I'm not actually giving these away um so I'm just going to sew mine together like this on the edge all right and when you do that ends up looking something like this and like I said it kind of just blends into itself right and you certainly can't see it from the right side so once you have that you are done and you've got your little wrist bands that are going to prevent water from dripping down your arms and like I said I have already done a full link tutorial for this so if you need more instructions than what I'm about to provide by all means go check that out okay so this headband is one of those that looks incredibly difficult but it's actually super super simple so uh like I said I have all of the dimensions for everything uh in the description box and there's also a cricket design file if you want to um just use your cricket maker to cut out these pieces for you um but the very first step is you have two little slits here that are made seven and a half inches from each raw edge and there's two inches in between each of them so the first step is to fold this lengthwise fold both of them length wise and to sew between those little two notches the sew the two inches together and then you can also sew this piece the entire length of the long side of the rectangle again quarter inch seam allowances on everything okay next up you're going to turn all three pieces right sides out so you're just turning through that little two inch section on the big rectangles and then the smaller one you have to use a uh fabric to turn her doodaddy to um to get that turned right side out so you end up with something like this and again I'm going to place the long seam on this little strip on one side so that um that can be hidden in the wrong side of our project but move these two to the side you don't need them for a minute and the next step is to take our one of our larger rectangles and to turn it this way and then you're going to sew the long side um in between so from your notch to your raw edge if I am showing you here basically you're taking this edge and sewing it to this edge like so copiesh okay so I've went ahead and sewed those edges together both sides and now we turn this thing uh right sides out and you end up with half of your little guy so then you take your other piece and you feed it through so that the little two inch section that you sew together and the first step is like centered around this little loop that you made and then you take and put it right sides together again and as closely as you can you stitch from the notch to the raw edge only on one side okay so once you've done that you've got a full loop here and a half a loop here now you are going to take this entire like skirt looking thing fold it back over the original loop that you made and then you're going to sew this uh seam together this way so that it's sandwiched so that the original loop is sandwiched inside this next little tube that you're making okay so once you've done that this is what you have so whenever you pull it through now you have a completely looped little tied up thing of a jig cool all right so then the next step is to take your short rectangle we are going to take our elastic and we are going to thread it this isn't the right elastic we are going to thread it through this guy here and this is actually a really great example of when the clover elastic threader works brilliantly okay so once it's even with one edge go to your machine and baste that then pull the rest of the elastic out till it's even with the other edge and baste the other side as well okay so now you have this little worm of a of a rectangle and you are going to take this is the wrong side of your headband and this is the right side so all of these edges over here get laid out flat you're going to take it right sides together because you have a seam on the wrong side so you know which side is the wrong side and you are going to place it along the center and then this edge gets fold over one side and this edge gets folded over the other side and you have this massive bulk of a seam that you need to sew so just take your time and stitch back and forth over this to secure all of these layers together okay and once you've got that and you pull your elastic out you'll see that it ends up encasing everything nice and beautifully on the wrong side like so this is what you have now so now we're going to take the right side of this and do the same thing to the other side folding it over each end like so and then sewing this massive bulky seam through your machine nice and easy it can be done all right and now you've got something that looks like this so you're going pull on your elastic and voila so cute I love it in the terry and now you've got this beautifully sewn headbands with with no raw edges that looks really super super professional super simple right I think each I think making all three of those while filming took me less than an hour probably 45 minutes and seeing as you don't need a ton of fabric you could probably even use a scrap if you've got something like that go to Goodwill grab an old robe something along those lines and you can make this for super super super cheap and it'll be a really cute
