DIY Reversible & Adjustable Satin Bonnet || Detailed video

I've been selling satin bonnets handmade by myself for over a year now. I had previously uploaded a time-lapse video of me making a bonnet and so I thought I would share a more detailed video of the cutting, sewing and packaging process I take to make the reversible and adjustable bonnets that I sell.

[@oyeronkeoyenekan223]

Thank you

[@simplylauren3759]

Hello, love your work Can you please tell me the name of the black "spring" you put to hold the elastic..... i know we can find them on track pants and sweaters, but i want to look for it to buy.

[@Azaniatresses]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏽. It’s called a cord stopper. I hope you’re able to find it online but a lot of big fabric stores carry them.

[@simplylauren3759]

Thanks so much I got it on Amazon

[@lifewithe2679]

Do you have to use those corded stoppers or you just prefer to use them?

[@Azaniatresses]

I’ve actually started using flat thin elastic bands because they lay flat against the head. The corded string was what was available to me at the time

[@lifewithe2679]

@@Azaniatresses Thank you 💕

[@daniellelilly8134]

Hello thanks for the tutorial! Where do u purchase ur fabric?

[@Azaniatresses]

Thank you for watching. I purchase fabric from Moosas fabric in Oriental plaza. You can find them on IG and FB

[@stephaniecambridge5909]

YOU DID THAT...

[@lnabunya7251]

Hey this video is amazing!!! does the cord have to be 23 inches for all bonnet sizes?

[@Azaniatresses]

😊 thank you. You can adjust it to your liking. I just saw that the length would work for all head sizes as it is long enough to be adjusted.

[@catsmeow4003]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@bisiadeyoyin496]

Thanks for sharing this video. Please what kind of satin fabric did you use.

[@Azaniatresses]

Satin is the weaving of the material using a fabric. I don’t know what the satin I use is made of exactly since where I buy it its only labeled as ‘satin’. I’d suggest any satin that is affordable, think and has a good sheen on one of its sides.

[@aler.3149]

You are beautiful!!! ♥️ Thaks

[@Azaniatresses]

☺️ thank you

[@chantellliu7372]

thank you!

[@patricialuna4903]

Thank very much

[@afeesadham2103]

Hii.. What type of silk have u used in this video ?? Pls answer

[@Azaniatresses]

It’s normal silk. They don’t have it named where I buy it. I’d say buy one that feels close to silk texture and is soft to the touch.

[@MadeByTriniLena]

Awesome ✂️🧵

[@imenesadoune8903]

small is for kids or can ut ve worn by adult women?

[@Azaniatresses]

It can but if the hair is plaited down. It’ll fit anybody as long as the volume of hair is small.

[@imenesadoune8903]

@@Azaniatresses thank you 🤍

[@MiaKarineDesigns]

I was trying to catch how exactly you folded the material but I kinda got lost

[@Azaniatresses]

I fold it 3 times to get 2 pieces

[@MiaKarineDesigns]

Azania tresses thank you so much!!

[@eranp371]

Hey. What type of elastic are you using. Does it say Hat Elastic? Is it round / flat / braided etc?

[@Azaniatresses]

I’ve switched actually to a flat elastic as this is better to avoid headaches. I shop by eye so unfortunately I don’t know the technical terms to the different elastics.

[@Azaniatresses]

The elastic used in the video is round

[@judithemmanuel5162]

Pls wats the name of that black thing you fixed on the elastic

[@Azaniatresses]

It’s called a cord stopper. Amazon sells them.

[@chloesheikboudhou-ramallou9395]

hello where did you buy drawstring and cord stopper please ?

[@Azaniatresses]

In South Africa the fabric store I go to called Moosa’s fabric sells them. You can try online but they tend to be expensive there.

[@iamJalynn]

Love them , where do you get your fabric from ?

[@Azaniatresses]

Thank you. There is a shop in Oriental plaza one Fordsburg called Moosa’s Fabric.

[@LifeandtimesofBunmi]

Is it dull face satin?

[@Azaniatresses]

It’s normal satin that has the wrong side dull and the right side shiny.

[@diamondlynae5115]

What type of string do you use ?

[@Azaniatresses]

Hi. It’s an elastic string. Unfortunately when I buy it there’s no branding on it so I can’t give you the exact term used for it. They do come in various ways with size and colour. If you find a fabric store I’m positive you’ll find a variety of these elastic strings.

[@judithemmanuel5162]

Where can I find those black stuffs i in Nigeria

[@Azaniatresses]

You can try a fabric store. They normally carry all things related to sewing.

[@idettemyster176]

You are going to fast how did you make that fold 2 get 2 pieces your bonnet are beautiful

[@Azaniatresses]

I’d suggest you change the speed of the video. I fold the fabric only 3 times before cutting to get 2 pieces. Hope this helps

[@idettemyster176]

Thank you I learned how to fold them

[@mudiwam4027]

This is so helpful, where do you buy cord stoppers

[@Azaniatresses]

I’m glad it was helpful. I buy it at my local fabric store called Moosa’s fabrics. I’ve been looking for them online but the websites I find them on are all international so I’m not trusting that.

[@jaylawilliams9505]

please tell me you still make these Bc I’m probably goin to order a large or medium

[@Azaniatresses]

Hi Jayla Currently I’m closed for shop but planning on coming back soon. You can follow me on Instagram @accessorized_byazania to know when I start selling again 💕

[@julietituma4127]

Please how much is the mini sewing machine

[@Azaniatresses]

The prices vary. I bought mine a few years ago so the price definitely changed. Try googling it to determine the lowest price you can get it at.

[@nataliafunes6489]

GENIAL!!!!

[@brianapenate342]

What size is the circle... 😳

[@Azaniatresses]

9 inch radius

[@islamichistory2043]

Hey mam thank u soo much for video can i know the black thing which u have use for adjusting the bonnet what is the name of that button?

[@Azaniatresses]

It’s only a pleasure 🙏🏽. It is called a cord stopper

[@jamiahwhite4383]

Do you use invisible thread on these bonnets?

[@Azaniatresses]

Lol no. I use threading that matches the colour of the material so it can blend into it and look invisible

[@jamiahwhite4383]

Azania tresses ok I was just wondering how it works on reversible bonnets for example if I make a pink and purple one and if I use purple thread won’t the purple thread show on the pink side when it’s flipped?

[@aliciahogan1781]

@@jamiahwhite4383 do your top thread in the coordinating color and your bobbin in the other. That way it will match and won’t be seen.

[@thanghujomathew2382]

I love your video! I wanted to start sewing. Which sewing machine would you recommend I buy?

[@Azaniatresses]

Oooh I definitely cannot say. I would suggest you look into reviews from professional seamstresses here on KZbin. I’m a DIYer 😂 so I haven’t gotten to that level.

[@thanghujomathew2382]

@@Azaniatresses thank you☺

[@zerahvielle2464]

What is the seam allowance that you used please??

[@Azaniatresses]

A half inch at the perimeter and a space enough for your string when making the conduit.

Where do you like to get your material

[@Azaniatresses]

At oriental plaza. A shop called Moosa’s fabric

[@lethokuhlekunene7651]

Hi. What type of satin do you use for your bonnets?

[@Azaniatresses]

It’s stretch satin

[@mildredbaxter3071]

Can yu purchase these? Mitzyy

[@Azaniatresses]

I’m in South African and sell them but I’m sure you can find bonnets selling international on many websites.

[@moeisharaymond953]

Is satin and silk the same king of fabric ?

[@Azaniatresses]

No I don’t think so. You can get natural silk or a blend but satin is a blend of material. The purposes of hair and skin they both provide the same benefits.

[@MiaKarineDesigns]

Hi there How much yards was the entire piece of material you used?

[@Azaniatresses]

It’s an 18’ diameter but I wouldn’t be able to tell you in yards

[@MiaKarineDesigns]

Azania tresses thank you anyway!

[@Orithiaify]

you can use 1 yard to make bonnets of 18" diameter up to about 26"
