TIME TO PRETEND

A couple of weeks ago Lulila updated her blog with gorgeous collages about women wearing turbans. And that made me remember that I had tons of worth rests that I could use to decorate my hair, so here comes the tutorial of how to make your own turban:

1. Measure your head circumference and add 10cm.

2. Join the middle of the fabric, rugging it so it gets the desired effect and join it with a pin.

Prove it in your head, check if it looks as you wanted.

3. Once you're sure it looks as you want, sew over the rugged part.

4. Open the ends, giving them form. That way it would cover more of your head.

And finally sew the back of it and now, you have your very own turban.



Remember that is a complement you must set in your head and make sure it looks good. Depending on the material it would always have its form, but if not, you can always set it straight over your head.

Now another kind of turban. This one is even easier. You just need two pieces of fabric of your head cimcunference and join them by the middle of it.

Once they're together, joined as in the pic, then you need to sew the back separately. Meaning sewing two different circles.

And finally join the back of the turbans.

It should look like this in the front.

That's another model of a turban. I love to wear them with darker clothes so it lights the outfits.





The thing is that I find it a great complement since Prada proposed them in 2006? I can't believe I don't remember witch collection was, it was the one where the models also sported sateen high waisted shorts. That was when my love for sateen started.

Anyway, if someone remembers which collection was I would love to know it.

And try it yourself.

It's a really cool way to pretend that you did your hair in the morning when you actually remain in bed for twenty more minutes. ;D

Hace un tiempo Lullia publico una entrada con algunos de sus maravillosos collages de mujeres llevando turbantes. Y eso me hizo recordar que tengo un monton de restos de telas que podria utilizar para hacer turbantes.

Asi que aqui esta el tutorial.

1. Mide la cincunferencia de tu cabeza y añade 10 cm.

2. Junta el medio de la tela arugándola hasta que tenga el efecto deseado y sujétalo con un alfiler.

Pruébatelo, asegurate que tiene el efecto deseado en el centro.

2. Cose la parte arrugada a mano o con tu máquina de coser.

4. Abre el final del turbante, dandole forma. De ésta manera cubrira mas parte de tu cabeza.

Y finalmente, cose la parte de atras y ya tienes tu turbante.

Para el otro modelo solo necesitas dos trozos de la cincunferencia de tu cabeza.

1. Juntalos por el medio como en la foto.

2. Cose los finales de ambos lados.

3. Ahora une los finales para crear un solo turbante.

Recuerda que éste es un complemento que deberas asegurarte que te queda bien. Dependiendo del material, el turbante perdera su forma, asi que moldealo sobre tu cabeza cuando te lo pongas.

El caso es que es un complemento genial, y desde que prada los propuso... en ¿2006
No lo recuerdo exactamente, pero son geniales. Y son una excelente forma de pretender que te has peinado cuando en realidad has estado en la cama veinte minuticos mas.

Y HASTA EL 1 Junio PUEDES TENER ESTE VESTIDO GRATIS.
