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

Perfect on Hot Gardening Days
This headscarf is an essential garden tool on hot, sweaty days. It’s made from a ready-made bandana 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
Here’s How To Make One
Supplies
- 1 large bandana (I get them at the dollar store)
- 18 x 4″ piece of cotton or wool quilt batting (see it at Amazon.com) (don’t use polyester: it does not absorb moisture very well)
- sewing machine or needle and matching thread
Assembly
- 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.
- 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.
- Get gardening.
Note
One thing this scarf can’t do is prevent bed-head. But that’s okay since you’ll need a nice shower after a day of gardening anyways.

This is a great Idea!!
Not that I will be making a “scarf” for my head, but I can see already how this wonderful idea of yours can be tweaked into something a guy could wear….
TY for sharing Ma’am.
