Materials:
40x12" silk scarf
40x5" cotton lining (optional)
red rayon thread
scissors
cutter (optional)
flat iron
sewing machine (you easily hand stitch this)
1.
Halve the scarf lengthwise. The width of the lining should be equal to
the actual width of the finished twilly, in this case, 2.5". The ends are cut slanting, at an angle of 45°. Note
that, normally, an original Twilly measures ~35x2", but, hey, I'm not
running a bootlegging operation here. I'm classy that way. Hahahahaha!
2.
Sew the cotton lining to the edge of wrong side of the halved scarf
using zigzag stitch. Then, fold the scarf lengthwise, wrong side up,
with the lining visible on the other side. One side of the folded scarf
will be a bit wider than the other. Make sure the line of fold of the
scarf is exactly aligned with the cotton lining. Press. The temperature
is dependent on the fabric you're gonna use -- I used silk, so I set it
on low. Sew the side of the fabric (the part zigzagged cotton+one side
of the scarf and the other side of the scarf) using zigzag stitch. Then,
fold the extra fabric over the zigzag stitch and sew again, thus
creating a faux bias-covered seam. This will ensure that the edges won't
easily fray.
3. Turn it inside out, right side out, lining in. Iron it again.

| One of the few times I used a flat iron. Come to think of it, I only use flat iron when I'm sewing. |
4. Fold the seam of the open side and iron again. Baste the fabric together, going back to where you started. Lock the thread.

So here's the finished product: Twilly à la TPS!

Thank you, Mrs Diaz! I really appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, super mahal ng twilly na yan (even at Greenhills!) kahet kakapiranggot na tela lang naman sya.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this. Na-inspire ako i-DIY na lang sya. It's my turn to make "gaya-gaya" from you hehe!
Right?!
ReplyDeleteGawa na. It's very easy to DIY. BTW, if ibabalot mo sa bag handle, you can do away with the lining para mas snug ang fit.
yey! pwede po ba hand sewn? hindi pa ko maalam ng makina eh hehe
ReplyDeleteYes, pwede hand-sewn. Running stitch is fine. Saka when you're sewing silk, especially the thin ones, safer talaga pag hand sewing ang gagawin mo.
Deletethank you! ill try one once may tela na ko, pwede po ba kahit hindi silk?
DeleteYes, any thin fabric would do. Pwede siguro ang polyester saka cotton voile. I think mas maganda nga ang cotton kasi hindi masyadong madulas.
DeleteGood luck!
nakagawa na ko sis yey! d ko lang alam pano ipost ang pic dito lol, kaya lang panget tahi ko sa dulo kitang kita, d ko alam pano ang stitch na di makikita
DeleteMay link ka? Wala yatang post picture option ang blogspot eh.
DeleteWow, salamat sa tutorial! kung bibili pa ako ng twilly na japeks, manggagaling pa ng CHina or HK nandito pa ako sa US nakatira baka hindi na makarating at 10 years pa if ever makarating sa akin hahaha!
ReplyDeleteWelcome! Correct. Mahal pa ng shipping mo. Glad I was able to help.
