The fabric-tape/ties measurement is half as long as it needs to be. I came back to the video to see how I messed up when cutting the fabric and I didn't. The number is half as much as it should be. An easy mistake to make. It should be 5 cm X 112 cm/ 2” X 44” I have sewn lapels of a dress upside down, sew wrong side to right side (multiple times), sewn pockets backwards on a pair of shorts and I have handsewn a project to myself. Sewing and math are tricky to get right all the time. 😅
@@HeyViviLondon Is it possible to change it in the description? That would also work. No worries about mistakes, we all make them. 😊 That's why I made sure I wrote about my MANY mistakes. Mistakes is how we learn. 😁I didn't even talk about my cooking mistakes! Hoo! That would take several paragraphs! 😂😂 And the way to become a great gardener is to kill a lot of plants before the person learns how to keep them alive.
@@HeyViviLondon Oh, and thank you for the tutorial. The headscarf I made is adorable. 🥰 I wanted something I could use to show of a piece of embroidery I just finished and your headscarf project was perfect way to do so.
Oh, this brought me back! I was a teenager in the 1960s and we all sewed our own clothes then. Everyone had a number of the wonderful shift dresses and there was always a bit of leftover fabric to make a matching "triangle scarf". Now that I'm old, I find I like them to keep my hair back when it's hot or keep my hair from getting dusty when I clean or do gardening. And that's exactly why women have worn caps and scarves since forever. In all my years of sewing, I haven't seen that very clever way of making a folded tape! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story! Yes these scarves take up so little fabric there’s usually enough leftover fabric to make one to match your outfit 😄 happy sewing!
I just made one, and it's so sweet and cute. Thank you so much for the tutorial, and a thank you for those who left a comment about the length of the strap.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just got into sewing and this was my first project, and it went swimmingly with this video! I’m so happy with how it turned out.
Just made this with a lace ruffle sandwiched between the fabric and it turned out SO cute! My dog, Sprout, is loving her new bandana! Thanks for the correction of measurement in the comments
I’m not sure if I misunderstood something but doesn’t the long piece need to be much longer than 56cm ?🤔 because 56 cm is just the diagonal of my triangle but not enough to have those straps left and right you use to tie it around my head 🙈
I just finished making the bias tape and realized the same thing.... its waaaaayyy too short. I would say you need about double the diagonal length. Gonna try it and hopefully that works
I had the same issue. So I looked at the written measurements in her description. It does say to cut 2 pieces of fabric 2" x 22". So I guess you're supposed to sew them together to form one long strip? But she doesn't show that part in the video. And I would think that would make it harder to run the fabric thru the bias tape maker. Why not just cut one 44" long strip instead?
Thanks so much, I'm so glad I found this video. I like to wear head coverings daily for prayer, I like this type of style the most. I was over complicating it before but now I see it's easier than I thought to make my own.

Thank you for that! (Wish there was an easy way to correct things in videos after uploading them 🙈)

I’m so happy to hear it turned out really well! Thank you for your comment ☺️
That bias tape trick was awesome. Thank you so much for the great video!
Hi, that’s great to hear I hope you enjoy using this little trick! I actually use it more than my bias binding maker 😅

That’s such a cute idea to make it with lace!!

I am wondering the same thing. Something just isn't right about that measurement.
I just finished making the bias tape and realized the same thing.... its waaaaayyy too short. I would say you need about double the diagonal length. Gonna try it and hopefully that works
I did double it and it worked quite well.

Such a smart tip for the bias!
Glad you enjoyed it! It’s a really handy trick

Glad to hear it was useful! 🙌🪡
Thank you so much! I am going to make one.
That’s awesome good luck sewing!
Such a cute fabric!
Thank you! It was fun to work with
Nice job! I wore similar scarf years ago, think I'll make one to keep my hair from blowing into my eyes while driving😊
Thank you, good luck with the sewing!
This is an awesome tutorial! Thank you so much, going to have a lot of fun making some cute headscarfs
Thank you for your comment! They’re really fun to make, enjoy!
Thank you for sharing
You’re welcome, have fun sewing 🙌
@@HeyViviLondon yes ma’am, thank you again. God bless.
Thank you so much for making this tutorial! I am trying to make this headscarf but I was so lost until I found your video 🥺
So happy to hear that! They’re really easy to make once you know how 😄
Apart from cotton fabric which other fabric can be use
You can use pretty much any fabric you like for this project
WHy did you do 45 degree angle instead of 90 degree angle
Do you purchase 1/2 yard of fabric?

Thank you so much for your comment! I hope you have fun sewing a cute headscarf!
