Hi There!
Today we're going to learn how to make a doo rag!
So..here we're going to make the pattern.
Now I've already done the cheat lines, I'm just going to do it quickly.
Now I've already done the cheat lines, I'm just going to do it quickly.
So the first one we're going to do
we're going to make a rectangle that's
9 and a half inches wide
by
four and
three quarter inches tall
or........
in centimeters that would be
Twelve centimeters by.....
Twenty four centimeters across.
Those of you who are seeing me for the first time...
I'm going quickly because a lot of this stuff I've covered in previous lessons.
So I'm not going to go over how important it is
to have square rectangles and all that. Get that from the....
to have square rectangles and all that. Get that from the....
I apologize get that from the earlier videos.
So we have here our perfect rectangle again
it's 24 centimeters long by 12 centimeters tall
or 9 and-a-half inches wide by
four three quarters inches tall
You really should do it in pencil, I'll repeat this
I just use magic markers so you can see
what I'm doing. In real life you'll use
a very thin line
You don't want to add excess.
For the doo rag you will only need
three pattern pieces.
I'm going to go ahead and make the three rectangles first
and then show you the lines to do in the middle.
So the first rectangle we've done.
I'm trying to do it in both inches and centimeters...
Fifty-one centimeters
or 20 inches
by
Two-and-a-half inches or....
six-and-a-half centimeters
I know I say "cen-TI-meters" wrong. I'm sorry.
I got used to saying it that way....
and then the third piece that you'll need
is actually not a perfect rectangle.
So this one you don't really need the square ruler
It's not a perfect rectangle. It's going to be a little thinner
on one side than on the other side so....
On this side
it's going to be two-and-a-half inches or
six-and-a-half centimeters.
by
23 inches long or
58-and-a-half centimeters long.
58-and-a-half centimeters long.
and I'm adding a quarter inch seam allowance here
I've already included those in the other
things that I'm doing but I didn't include it here so
it's actually going to be a quarter-inch taller.
So far this part is perfectly square.
This is a 90 degree angle. However
over here this side is only two inches
a half inch smaller. Because
that's the part that's going to tie in the back.
It's a little thinner. I think it looks
a little bit better.
So now all you have to do is connect the two ends.
For this one however just add the quarter inch seam allowance.
This one's done.
We're done with piece number three.
That's the sash that goes around the (head)
I guess you would call it the tie or the sash.
That pattern piece is done.
The more complicated one is the one that goes on the top...
I mean on the side of your head.
So we'll just go to this one.
This one's also easy.
Over here we are just going to go up an inch.
One inch or about two-and-a-half centimeters.
up to this point.
I should start putting in the numbers here....
One...
This will be two.....point three....
This will be point four....
This will be five.
So for point number five it's just one inch or 2.5 centimeters...approximately...up.
Put the dot there.
Now......
Go in......
about 31-and-a-half centimeters in
or in American it's inches
so that's......
twelve-and-a-half inches
from this point
Same at the top.
Do the very same measurement up here. Put the point there.
This is just a guideline it's not something that's important
for the pattern but you need it to make the pattern.
You know how we do.....
Just do a dotted line there.
and then from this end
measure in two-and-a-quarter inches
which is five-and-a-half centimeters
Let's number the dots
five....we'll make this six....we'll make this seven
This dot will be......
I guess we can make this eight.
We have to do another dot.
From this corner down
that's just about.....
a little more than a centimeter
or half an inch.
and that will be dot number 9.
(Family member calling "Vegetarian Pizza is Ready!")
"It's ready?" We were about to connect the dots.
We were about to connect the dots.
Um...there was one more dot I forgot down here.
One-and-a-half inches down
from point number six
that's about four centimeters
Put the dot there.
Put the dot there.
That's dot number 10.
Now we just connect some dots.
From point 5 to point 10
From point 5 to point 10
draw a nice straight line.
From point 10 to point 8....
and then from point 8 to point 9.
and then from point 8 to point 9.
OK, that one's done. This is the cutting line.
OK, that one's done. This is the cutting line.
This is the strip that goes across the top of the head.
So you see these two pieces are quite simple to do.
This one is simple also but
it's a little more complicated.
Here we have the square (rectangle) that we made in the beginning.
One...two.....three.....four.
Now we're just going to put in some guidelines.
The first guideline is corner to corner.
and then another "X" and another "X"
Now...
From point two inward on this reference line...
From point 2 measure down two inches down this line
here's the dot.
we'll call that dot number 5
We'll measure the same on this side.
We'll call that point number six.
OK good, we've got those.
OK good, we've got those
Now it gets slightly easy.
You just take from point three to point 5 draw a reference line.
You just take from point three to point 5 draw a reference line.
That will be a dotted line, that's not the cutting line.
The solid lines are the cutting lines.
Except here, I should have made a dotted line here.
Because that's the seam allowance but.....
Now from five to this point.....
Now from five to this point.....I probably should have numbered these points.
Let's do that because I like to number my dots
so they are easier to reference.
So one, two, three, four, this will be five, this will be six,
this will be seven after all
and this will be eight.
OK so, from point 7 to point 5
another straight reference line.
Then we're going to go out a bit
to make a curve out of it.
to make a curve out of it.
You can start to see this is the side of the head.
I don't want to go off on a tangent but this is
the basics for making a hood. So after this class
you'll also have the basics for making a hoodie. Because you know how to make the basic bodice,
you know how to elongate it, you're learning how to make a hood now -- which is what a doo rag is
OK, point five to point eight.
You just need to learn how to attach it
Maybe I'll do a hoodie video after this because I've been saying I'm going to do one for a while....
It will basically be the basic bodice,
plus this......
then elongating it and attaching this to the basic bodice.
That's your hoodie. Then of course you'll put your own spin on it.
That's your hoodie. Then of course you'll put your own spin on it.
I didn't number these....
I'm going to have some written instructions also
and the numbers will be very clear there.
Here we go.....
finally to finish the pattern
finally to finish the pattern
find the midpoint of this line 3 to seven.
find the midpoint of this line 3 to seven.
Find the midpoint, put a dot there.
Find the midpoint, put a dot there.
Now find the midpoint of this line. Same thing.
You have to use a little math here.
I should number these dots too.....I do apoloize.
Here.....there and....
Here.....there and....
the mid-point here....
the mid-point here....etc....
Let's number them just so you can see them
It does get a little messy though.
you see the doctor
eleven and twelve.
Okay so dot 8 measure out
Okay so dot 8 measure out
perpendicular to this line
This is just because you want to get a good curve now
Because here's the shape of the head but its too....
too....uh....pointy. So now we are just going to
do something so that you can get a nice curve,
which we've done in previous videos
but just if you need a reminder Do a perpendicular line out
but just if you need a reminder Do a perpendicular line out
about one centimeter in this case.
about one centimeter in this case or three-eighths of an inch.
There's that dot
There's that dot
That's just the first dot.
From here we're going out perpendicular line
straight out one-eight of an inch
which is equal to.......
oh goodness.....
equal to......probably......
an eighth of an inch is.....
....gee.....it's barely anything.
It's like 2 or 3 millimeters maybe.
So
from here perpendicular straight out
later
we get those second dots just alongside
the first ones. The first one
is a little farther away but these are closer.
And now we'll get our curve.
So the curve you just freehand it.
We've done freehand before....
We've done freehand before....
and that's what we're doing now
You've got to get from point 3 to point 7.
So just
make a curve.
Roughly. There's your first curve line.
Now from point 7 to point 5
Creating a curve....
Same here.....
point 5 to point 8
using the outer dots (to guide the curve).
And then point 8
And then point 8
to the dot here.
dasky
We finish the curve right there.
Ugh. Try to be very neat.
Ugh. Try to be very neat.
Here you have the curve so our cutting line is going to be this.....this.....
and the curve. That's what we're cutting off.
and the curve. That's what we're cutting off.
I'm breaking the rules here because this is the scissor I use for cutting fabric
and you're not supposed to use the same scissor for cutting fabric as
you use for cutting patterns but.....
I'm breaking the rules
When we are making the pattern write the word "fold" here because
this is the side that is going to be cut along a fold
so you have a symmetrical piece.
In this case....
here's the sie or the tash.
(Laughing about mixing up the words) The "tie" or the "sash".
Um.......(continues laughing) the fold is over here. So let's put "fold"
Um.......(continues laughing) the fold is over here. So let's put "fold"
I'll do a picture of all of the pieces once
they are cut out.
OK so this piece I'll finish cutting it out.
OK so this piece I'll finish cutting it out.
Thanks for watching.
