I had a couple that fit close to the head & I just looked like I had painted color on my bald head.I could never find any that looked cheerful. Pastel colors are good as they keep you from looking so pale & sickly. I had a black one & always felt like I looked like it was going to be my last day so I never wore it. My favorite that I wore to bed was made from a knit that was satin on the outside & sort of flannel on the inside and it wouldn't get stuck on the pillowcase...yes, I wore it to bed because my head would get cold at night. Thanks again for doing this...you are going to add some cheer to someone who needs it!!
Thank you. I absolutely do NOT mind any suggestions and constructive criticisms of any kind. I am new to sewing/quilting after a 30+ year hiatus and any help is welcomed. This is the first time I have sewn on stretchy fabric, also. Quite an interesting challenge, but I think I got the hang of it now. What a great idea with the satin on the outside for nighttime use. I will try it. My daughter will be graduating from Nursing School in December and has a good outlet for these turbans, so I know they are going to help make deserving people feel a bit better. What do you think of doing a large size for men, or do you think they don't mind being bald?
