It started with a Grateful Dead bandana and a will to wear it...
For this very simple tutorial for a beginner you'll need a bandana, 3 strips of fabric that are 2 inches wide, one 44" long and the other 2 are 28" long, scissors, a sewing machine, thread, a few pins, and an iron.
First you want to finish the edges of your bandana. Fold the edges over and iron.
Secure corners with pins until you sew.
We like to use a zigzag stich and really bright thread.
Look how clean it looks already!! :)
Take your 44" long strip of fabric and sew the long end together.
Attach a safety pin through one side of the tube.
Insert the safety pin into the tube to turn it inside out.
Once the tube is turned inside out with the seam on the inside, iron it.
Attach the safety pin back to the strip and thread through the top of the shirt.
That's going to be your neck tie. Repeat the process of sewing and turning inside out the fabric on the 2 strips that are left.
Attach each of the straps about 8" down from the top of the bandana.
Enjoy your fun new homemade bandana shirt!
