Classic choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But bandanas come in all sorts of fabric designs and as far as projects go, they may be one of the easiest things to sew. So why not sew your own, in your choice of fabric whether that\u2019s a solid color, a woven stripe, a Liberty of London print or fabric you\u2019ve printed or dyed yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Sew a Bandana: Mastering The Basics | The Daily Sew\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8VOrPX-tfbg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can watch the video here or read on for detailed instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The only limitation is that the fabric is soft and not too stiff. A light or medium-weight fabric that\u2019s soft enough to be around your neck. Something that can be tied on itself. That scrunches up small and can be folded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking at a fabric that is printed check the backside. When bandanas are tied or looped around anything both sides of the fabric are on display.

The back side is usually solid with maybe some show though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except very lightweight fabrics like cotton lawn. This fabric is so thin that the dye seeps through to the wrong side of the fabric and leaves an almost identical back side, like the delicate blues and greens print and the grey block print above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, that said, you can absolutely make a bandana from a one-sided design and then fold and wear it so the design side is seen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-23-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"two squares\" class=\"wp-image-5840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-23-1024x666.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-23-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-23-150x98.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-23-768x499.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-23-1536x998.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-23.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let&#8217;s Talk Bandana Size<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bandanas are square and typically range from 24 to 26 inches in size. Recently bandanas are smaller because smaller equals less fabric which equals lower cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So feel free to make it as small as 20 inches square but check that when it\u2019s folded on the diagonal, from corner to corner, it\u2019s long enough to fit around your neck and has extra length to tie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or make it 26 to 28 inches square. This is big enough to wrap and tie around the head in a variety of ways&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of the end use when deciding the size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, of course, you can make other shapes and sizes from similar or heavier fabric but then they\u2019re called scarves, not bandanas<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"862\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-22-1024x862.jpg\" alt=\"finished bandana\" class=\"wp-image-5835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-22-1024x862.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-22-300x253.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-22-150x126.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-22-768x647.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-22-1536x1293.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-22.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How much fabric you need will depend on what size bandana but the rule is you need fabric \u00bd to 1 inch larger in both directions than the desired size of your bandana.

Adding an inch to the size allows for \u00bd\u201d on each side to finish the raw edge of the cloth with either a 1\/4&#8243; wide hem or the satin stitch finish, explained below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-24-1024x666.jpg\" alt=\"good News.

They\u2019re not. They are finished with a narrow hem, or in the modern world, a serged edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The narrow hem looks nice and tidy and easy to replicate at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The serge edge looks, well, boring. The idea is good: an edge without a right or wrong side. But we can do better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This post will explain the narrow hem and the satin stitch edge. If you want to hem by hand, or challenge yourself to learn the machine rolled hem (aka baby hem) watch my video: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5H9rrfz8Ge8\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/5H9rrfz8Ge8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Sew a Narrow Rolled Hem<\/a> It will teach you how to sew a narrow hem by hand or use the rolled hem foot for your machine and sew it on the machine, which is finicky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-4-1024x583.jpg\" alt=\"a bandana with a narrow hem\" class=\"wp-image-5818\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-4-1024x583.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-4-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-4-150x85.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-4-768x437.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-4-1536x874.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-4.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Narrow Hem<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the same kind of hem used on shirts. The edge is simply folded in on itself, twice then sewed down for a \u215b\u201d to \u00bc\u201d wide hem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping the finished hem narrow reduces bulk. Less bulk keeps the bandana fluid (less weight on the edges to bring it down) and makes it easier to tie the corners.Plus your bandana will look less like a napkin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you want a 26\u201d bandana, cut your square to be 26 and \u00bd\u201d for a \u00bc\u201d&nbsp; hem allowance and a \u215b\u201d finished hem. Or cut it 27\u201d square for a \u00bd\u201d hem allowance and a \u00bc\u201d finished hem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-3-825x1024.jpg\" alt=\"fold, press, fold again and press\" class=\"wp-image-5817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-3-825x1024.jpg 825w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-3-242x300.jpg 242w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-3-121x150.jpg 121w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-3-768x953.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-3-1238x1536.jpg 1238w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-3-1650x2048.jpg 1650w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-3.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you have to measure, fold and press the edges to the wrong side of the fabric (or choose a side if they\u2019re the same) but doing all that simultaneously can get your fingers burned (usually with the steam). So use your sewing machine to measure and mark the fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Set your machine to a basting stitch (a long stitch length) and sew in from the edge, along all four sides, the width of your hem allowance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your fabric is lightweight spray starching the edges before folding the hem up helps a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At your ironing surface, fold the fabric on the stitch line to the wrong side. It\u2019s ideal for the fold to be to just the left of the stitches so they come over to the back. You\u2019ll see them on the back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you fold press the fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, open the fold and place the raw edge, the cut edge, to meet the crease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Press, And again, do this all the way around. The corners will fold over one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some fabrics will need to be pinned to hold the hem but others will be ok without them especially if you use starch. Look at your hem, if it\u2019s unfolding, add a few pins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"584\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-5-1024x584.jpg\" alt=\"pull thread tails back as you start sewing \" class=\"wp-image-5819\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-5-1024x584.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-5-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-5-150x86.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-5-768x438.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-5-1536x876.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-5.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Set your machine back to a normal stitch length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: I chose to sew my hem with a contrasting thread for fun and so you could see the stitches better. Using matching thread will blend the hem into the rest of the cloth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the hem under the needle so it is on the top (you can see the folded hem) and insert the needle through all the layers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grab hold of the thread tails, both the needle and bobbin thread. Lower the presser foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hold the thread tails back and a little taut with your left hand. This prevents the needle from pushing the fabric down into the machine when you start sewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to sew the hem down close to the inner fold or down the center of the folded hem. Take the first few stitches slowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you get to the corner, slow down. Use a pin, finger or awl to hold the next side\u2019s hem in position. When the needle goes through the next side\u2019s folded hem stop with the needle still lowered through the fabric.

I like this idea of a hem with no right or wrong side but I\u2019m not keen on exposed serged edges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t know what this treatment is called but it came out of my Vogue Sewing Book as a way to finish the edge of seam allowance. Perfect. No serging and no zig-zag stitching on the edge of lightweight fabric.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, you run a satin stitch (a tight zig-zag stitch) inside the edge and then trim off the excess fabric so the satin stitch becomes the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-14-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-14-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-14-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-14-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-14-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-14-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-14.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For this technique cut your bandana to be 1\u201d larger than the finished size. So for a 24\u201d bandana cut the fabric to be 25\u201d square. We will use a \u00bd\u201d seam allowance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I thought it would be helpful to sew a line stitches \u00bd\u201d in from the edge all the way around and then stitch the narrow zig-zag on that line of stitches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sew a line of basting stitches \u00bd\u201d&nbsp; in from the edge on all four sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then set your machine to a narrow, short zig-zag stitch. (like the long sides of a buttonhole). The goal is to have a very tight stitch around the edge of the bandana to keep it from fraying.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-8-1024x655.jpg\" alt=\"sew sample stitches first\" class=\"wp-image-5822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-8-1024x655.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-8-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-8-150x96.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-8-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-8-1536x982.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/thedailysew.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/2024-11-tds-bg-how-to-sew-a-bandana-8.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sew some samples with different settings on a scrap of your fabric (one layer thick) and importantly, write down what settings you used next to the sample stitch so when you decide on the stitch you like best, you can replicate it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember, instead of sewing over the edge, we\u2019re going to sew over the basting stitches and then trim off the excess fabric.
