nice cap love..and i know it will help keep my hair intact..way to go
I've been trying to make one of these for my daugther forever with no success! Thanks so much for this tutorial and pattern!!!
This looks lovely, and I could definitely use one 🙂
Lovely. One big plus is that I can put it on for some minutes after waking up or before going to bed in public – unlike the "popular" pulling sock . I find the pulling stocking embarassing – a pant on my head. Just wondering if it wont slip off the head coz of the material.
No it doesn’t. It stays put throughout the night.
nice idea girl..you doing wonders. i have stopped using pulling socks, i use the net. i would not mind trying this one..
If this stays on the head through the night, I am sold! Coz madhuku, mapulling socks – not very sightly!
Thanks Tafadzwa, have been sitting on the material for my daughters for a month whilst trying to decide how exactly to make the cap – the tutorial is simple enough to follow and will give it a shot
Remember to share pictures of the finished caps! Let me know if you have any questions.
[…] tutorial makes use of the Satin Cap Tutorial I did before, the difference being that now you are adding a layer that will provide heat. For this […]
I’m so glad I found your blog! I did a search for satin cap sewing patterns after viewing caps on a site that sold for $37 +. Being a DIYer myself lol, I said, “I KNOW I can make my own satin cap!” I initially found you on Craftsy, and followed the link to your blog. Being natural, I know the importance of moisture-retention, so this is perfect! I plan on making a couple for myself and for my little one, who is also natural. I love your sewing and knitting patterns to by the way! I plan on crocheting hat/scarf sets for next winter. I don’t know how to knit (yet), but It’s good to know that I have somewhere to go for inspiration 🙂 Keep doing what you’re doing!!! Blessings, Danietta
Thanks Danietta! Please share your pictures when you are finished.
Lady…you just saved me a TON of money! Ask me how many times have I lost my hair bonnets? ALL of the time, ONLY having to go out and buy news ones that don’t fit because my hair is huge. I can make matching bonnets to go with the satin pillowcases I plab on making. My huge mane thanks you.
