- |
A charming turban is easy to make as long as you have some basic sewing knowledge.Traditional style turbans cover the top of the head as well as the sides, while modern turbans only cover the forehead, nape and sides of the head, leaving the top exposed.
-
Cut a large square of fabric. Measure a square that is 93.98 by 93.98 cm in size.Mark these measurements using chalk or pencil and carefully cut along the lines.
- Make sure the edge is straight before measuring and cutting your fabric.
- Choose a double-sided fabric for the best result, because both sides may be visible after wrapping the turban around your head.
- Choose fabric that is soft enough to be comfortable but firm enough to hold together after being wrapped.It also needs to have decent traction, so it doesn't slip off your head.Cotton is fine, as are corduroy and fleece.Satin, silk and other smooth materials should be avoided.
-
Hem the perimeter. Fold 1.25cm of fabric along all four sides of the square.Pin in place, then sew each hem to prevent the material from unraveling.
- A hem is important because it prevents the fabric from fraying.You may be able to skip the hems, however, if you use a lint-free fabric (like fleece) or if you trim the edges with zigzag scissors.Alternatively, you could also use liquid anti-fray spray to minimize the risk of fraying without sewing a hem.
- Sew the hem using the straight stitch on a sewing machine.If you sew by hand, backstitch.
-
Wrap the turban around your head. Fold the square in half and wrap it around all sides of your head, including the top.This step completes your project.
- Fold the turban along the diagonal so that it forms a two-layer triangle.
- Place the triangle behind your neck.The top edge should align with the top of your head, and the base should be centered at the base of your neck.
- Lift the top center corner above your head and down onto your forehead.
- Bring the two end corners around towards your forehead.Tie them together in a secure knot.
- Take the center corner on your forehead and slide it over the knot you just created with the ends.
- Thread each end of the knot into the sides of the turban.Tuck in any excess hanging material as well.
- This completes the donning process

Cut two large rectangles of fabric. The rectangles should be 185.42 cm long and 93.98 cm wide each.
- For this version, you'll create two layers of fabric, giving you more versatility.
- The outer layer has very few limitations and can be made of almost any material and have almost any design.
- The inner layer should be of a material that has good hold or traction so that the turban does not fall off or come undone while you are wearing it.Use something like cotton or chiffon, and avoid smooth fabrics like silk or satin.
- Make sure all four edges are straight before continuing.
-
Pin the layers together. Lay the two layers of fabric on top of each other with the "right" sides facing each other and the "inner" sides facing out.Pin each side into place, placing pins directly along all four edges.
-
Sew around the perimeter. Sew around all four sides of the turban, leaving a ½” seam allowance on all sides.Skip a section about 12 inches long in the center of one of the long sides of the piece.
- This step sews the two layers together while also hiding the cut edges of the fabric inside the piece.
- It is essential to skip a length of about 30.48 cm into the fabric so that you can turn the turban right side out later.
- Once the entire perimeter of the turban is sewn, except the skipped section, shorten all the corners by cutting off the tips.This way the turban will not look or feel puffy when you turn the piece right side up.
- Use a simple straight stitch on a sewing machine or a back stitch if you sew by hand.
-
Turn it right side up and close the opening. Pass the fabric through the opening you left in one side, bringing the "right" sides of the piece back to the outside.Exposed sew the closure when you're done.
- Before sewing, make sure the edges of the opening are folded inward to hide the cut edge of the material.If you have trouble keeping the edges folded, pin or iron them in place with an iron before sewing.
- Note that the stitching at this point will likely be visible, so it's important that the stitch is neat and that it's done with matching thread.
-
Wrap the turban around your head. This turban will wrap around all sides of the head, including the top, and the ends will be hidden by tucking them into the sides.With the conclusion of this step, your turban will be complete.
- Place the center point of the turban on your forehead.
- Wrap both ends around the sides of your head and towards the back of your neck.Tie securely at the base of the neck.
- The fabric should cover the top of your head, extending from your forehead to the back of your neck.Carefully arrange the turban so that it completely covers the top of your head, and tuck the ends into the piece of fabric you have already tied around your head.
- Wrap one side of the turban around your head.Hold it level with your ears as you wrap, or twist it as you wrap for a slightly different look.Make sure there is a 12 inch section of fabric left at the end of this round.
- Repeat the previous step with the other side of the fabric.Wrap it around your head, leaving another 12 inches free.
- Tie the two ends together and tuck the excess fabric into the sides.
- All material should be securely tied and held in place, and your turban is ready to wear.

Cut a long strip of fabric. The fabric should be approximately 139.7 cm long and approximately 22.86 cm wide.
- A thick, double-sided fabric works better than a single-sided fabric, because both sides of the fabric will be visible after you tie the turban to your head.
- Choose a fabric with good hold, such as cotton.Silky smooth fabrics tend to slip and may not stay on your head properly.
- If you're working with fabric that might fray but don't want to hem, use zigzag scissors to cut the fabric instead of regular scissors.The serrated blade of the scissors minimizes the possible amount of fraying, but may not completely prevent the fabric from fraying.
-
Hem, if necessary. If you use a lint-free fabric, like fleece, you don't need to worry about the edges of the fabric.If the edges are prone to fraying, however, you should hem about ½ inch (1.25 cm) on the edges all the way around.
- The easiest way to hem the edges is to pin the fabric along the underside of the turban and machine sew a straight stitch on all 4 sides.If you sew by hand, use a backstitch.
- Alternatively, you could apply a liquid "anti-fray" spray to the edges to prevent fraying without hemming the edges.These liquid solutions are not as effective as a real hem, but will most likely work well for light to moderate daily use.
-
Wrap the turban around your head. Wrap the fabric around your head, starting at the nape of your neck and then twisting it into a knot at the front.
- Place the center of the fabric behind your head.Hold the two ends in front of you.
- Wrap the turban around the sides and front of your head.
- At the center of the forehead, twist the two sides together once, interlacing them.
- For a safer ride, cross the two sides over each other one more time.
- Tuck the ends of the fabric into the portion of the turban wrapped around your head.Note that you need to tuck the fabric into the sides and not the top.
- With this, your twisted headband turban is complete.The front, sides and back of your head will be covered, but unlike the traditional turban, the top of your head will be uncovered.
