How To Make A DIY Satin Bonnet With An Elastic Band

In this article, learn how to make a DIY satin bonnet with an elastic band in the comfort of your home. The process is very affordable and easy.

Place your satin fabric on a flat surface and fold it into four places.
Align the fabric properly and fold it into two sides.
Hold the fabric with pins and mark 14inches with your chalk from the top end of the fabric around to form a semi-circle.
Connect the markings with your tailor’s chalk and cut out the shape with your scissors.
You should have two big circles after cutting the fabric.
Place the circle’s side by side. The right side should face each other, then secure the ends with pins.
Sew the fabric round at one inch and leave about 6.5 inches opening on the fabric.
Following the pins, sew the fabric around.
Turn the fabric inside out
Close the opening by sewing or stitching neatly.
Iron the fabric to flatten the ends.
Sew around again. You should have a smooth round shape.
To make gathers, pull out one of the threads. Be very careful when doing this so you don’t cut the thread.
Once you have gotten your gathers, you should have 12 inches multiplied by 2 which is 24 inches, the total measurement for the head circumference.
Knot the thread you pulled out and cut out the excess thread.
Get your elastic band, and measure 25 inches.
Cut the band and sew the extra one inch.
Wrap the elastic at the opened part of the already sewn fabric and use pins to secure the elastic band to the fabric.
Sew the band to the fabric at 0.5 inches.
Turn the bonnet out and it is ready!
