A preview of a couple wraps below. The polka dots and The Tardis are the same pattern. They are just worn in different ways.
The Seafarer
$18
I have so many more fabrics in the works.
Above I have an honorable mention to Alfred University and Alfred State. School Colors, that's fun. Marvel? Avengers? Harry Potter? Coffee theme? Sunflowers? Flannel? Plaid? Floral?
My ideas are these, but please feel free to request YOUR own ideas.
style A
style C
Fabric is a soft cotton. Very comfortable and cool. Easy to wear. The durable fabrics that I use make these wraps something you will have for a long time.
Americana in C $18
The fabric as well as the design were a special request of a friend who has owns a welding operation.
​
He has also requested;
* flame retardant fabric (for his friends who are linemen (oil rigs)
* some sort of covering for his chest and shoulders
* adapt this design to hold Bluetooth earbuds directly over ears
Fleece fabrics are soft, comfortable and will wrap smoothly around your head. These are built to last.
$25
Americana in D
style D
style C (above) is the improved version
Style D is the first pattern/design for
welders. Welders wear a helmet and this absorbs the sweat, a layer that is pretty important for comfort and the extended length of the tail is an added protection from the sparks. I will add a photo, (asaP) of the back/tail of this design.
This pattern, (which is not mine), has a point at the bottom of the tail.

Americana Stars
Made of a soft, flannel fabric. Ties easily around the voluminous tail.
​
The tail is designed to cover the neck and provide a decent protection from welding sparks and the cold/heat.

Alfred State College

For the Ladies
The Wrap is the same, it's just worn differently.
Rosie the Riveter $18
This is a classic fabric, and my FAVORITE, polka dots!! It is silky. It is soft. It wears very comfortably.
This CAN be twisted/narrowed and worn as a headband.
Rosie's hair scarf is actually red with yellow polka dots. So classic, and you can see why the style...works.
Becca (Retro Ladies Head Wrap) -
$18
So sweet and pretty.
This fabric and style is perfect for doing just about anything; going out with the girls, shopping, gardening, cleaning house and STILL looking pretty!!!
Brigid -
Wrap Your Head
$18
Aven - Wrap Your Head
$25
The headwrap just begs to be bowed. The tie provides such a great opportunity to make a statement of its own. Sunflowers are universally
a well-liked flower and are quite commonly used as a theme of decorating and in fashions so I think I picked a great combination of elements to feature my new product.
​
​
This piece is fantastically versatile in how it would be used. I'm thinking BRIDES here. Can you see it?? There are so many wedding themes that this styles lends itself to; Country, Elegant, Burlesque, Americana, etc.
​
Pin UP! Rosie the Riveter if definitely an influence for this style.
(She is the creation of Norman Rockwell featuring the support of women in the workforce for WWII)...a kick-ass chick! Her headscarf has a simple tie and is red with yellow polka dots).
style E (Bow It!)
Tatum -
Wrap Your Head
$18
style A
Little prints are great for this headwrap. If you have something more bold in mind, let me know.
Niesha - Wrap Your Head
$18
Yellow with a little white flower print.
Perfect for Spring. Nice and bright. This can be twisted up and worn as a headband.
style A
Add a flower to the headwrap. It could be placed over the ties (or anywhere) on the wrap. ​
Don't forget...I'm a seamstress.​
Come up with your own ideas...and let me know what the ideas ARE...I'm just the chick to make them. That's how a good majority of things on this site have "come to be." Someone needed something and they asked me to make it...or make it BETTER. So I DID.
The operative word here is ASKED!
If you don't ASK...right?
So...ASK. I'm more than happy to make it.

Pabla - Wrap Your Head
$18
Feminine - the first thing that comes to my mind when I see this headwrap.
Very pretty. I only had enough
fabric to make one of these, maybe

me think about
my CAPES.
A complete look.
Vintage. Class.

$18
style C
Capes - the whole A line look popular in the '40's. Concealing what is underneath creates
mystery...
alluring while still being modest...intriguing, yes?
And, yes, I made this. And every
flower (the trimming).
Ahhhh....polka dots...what girl doesn't feel truly comfortable in polka dots as she does in her own skin?
