Sew a Gardener’s Headscarf

Easy to sew garden headscarf.

Perfect on Hot Gardening Days

This headscarf is an essential garden tool on hot, sweaty days. It’s made from a ready-made bandanna scarf and the small amount of sewing required could be done by hand or machine.

 Why You’ll Want One (or Two)

  • Comfortable
  • Keep you hair out of your eyes
  • Provide sun protection, and most important to me—
  • absorb sweat

Sewing Instructions


Supplies

  • 1 large bandanna (I get them at the dollar store)
  • 18 x 4″ piece of cotton or wool quilt batting (don’t use polyester: it does not absorb moisture very well)
  • sewing machine or needle and matching thread

Assembly

  1.  Put the quilt batting in between the layers as shown and stitch it in place. I just ran the machine back and forth in rows about 3/4″ apart.
  2. On each of the tie ends, about 2″ from the end, fan fold the scarf and stitch over it a bunch of times. This makes the ties work better.
  3. Get gardening.
