DIY. Make your own hair friendly pillowcase
Silk and polyester satin pillowcases are a lot kinder to the hair than cotton, but they can be expensive and hard to find. Luckily it's not hard to make your own!
You need:
- Fabric in silk, polyester satin or some other slippery material
- Scissor
- Pen
- Needles
- Thread
- Sewing machine
- An old pillowcase
How to do it:
- Put an old pillowcase in the right size, on the fabric.
- Draw a line two cm outside the longer edge of the pillowcase.
- It's not the end of the world if the line isn't perfectly straight. As you can see, mine isn't.
- Put the pillowcase on top of where you just had it and continue your line.
- Add 20 cm for the pocket.
- Cut out the fabric.
- If you're making more than one pillowcase, just place the piece you just cut out, on top of the fabric and cut after it.
- Zigzag the shorter edges.
- Fold the shorter edges twice and pin them as seen in the picture.
- Sew a straight seem. (Both shorter edges)
- If this feels hard, you can fold once, pin, sew, fold again, pin and sew, instead of folding twice at once.
- Line your fabric up with the old pillowcase.
- Fold it inside out, so that the top part and the fold is even with the pillowcase.
- Put the fabric on top of the old pillowcase.
- Align the fabric with the pillowcase and make sure that it's "folded, inside out".
- Fold the remaining fabric as seen in the picture.
- Pin it, so that the top edges are perfectly aligned and the longer edges are "aligned enough".
- Zigzag along the longer edges.
- Sew a straight seam around 1 cm inside the zigzag seam.
- Turn the pillowcase so that the outside is now outside.
- Now you have one or several hair friendly pillowcases!
- Go to sleep and enjoy waking up with less tangles and friction damage in your hair!
