I have completed my first Chemo Turban from the pattern supplied by user: pgthom. Here are the pictures. Keep in mind that a person's head will be rounder than the styrofoam model, and thus will not drape as far over the eyes. But this give you an idea. And I did not have a suitable pin for the front tab, but will be adding bling whenever possible before donating. I bought six more fabrics to make more, and will continue to find what I think will be cute patterned fabric. I tried it on - very soft, comfy, and I would not mind wearing it on a bad hair day. Hope you like it. OHHHHH - and what would be nice would be to custom design for the person in need - using one of their t-shirts or themes, etc.

Very stylish...I think the patterns are lovely, plains would look good too. I think it's a fantastic idea...people really need to feel good about their appearance, 'specially when they are ill.

I don't mind doing so, but the credit goes to pgthom. Simply search on pgthom and send her a PM. If you can't locate it, send me a PM and I will pass along her pattern. It's for a worthy cause, and I don't think she would mind. It is 3 pages, but very easy and quick.

Thanks. The place I got the fabric does not have much in the way of t-shirt knits, and nothing in solid colors, and a lot of truly ugly patterns. I grabbed most of what looked relatively good. Will go to a larger store soon to get some really nice things and some solids. Want to make the tab contrasting in some of them. Take care. Nice to hear from you.
