Hi guys... I make these things and wear em alot... They are great to sleep in for new dreads. Does anyone else wear one of these? Its a fleece long thingy, all my dreads fit in it and kind of sit nicely and freely. The fleece is great for rubbing on new dreadlocks too. All u do is buy some fleece... measure your head and cut one inch smaller than your head size. Let the width be as wide as your comfortable with... it can even be tiny. I prefer big. The you just sew up the sides together to make a complete headband thing. Its so easy and it takes me 5 mins when I make one. But try one if you hate sleeping with a stocking on your head. I don't really need to sleep with one on but I'm just so used to it now. So comfy... I like to wear them all the time though. the last pic is me saying "hey look how comfy my head is now!" lol
thank you! *blush* Its great for wearing on cold days too... You just wear it over your ears and they stay nice and toasty but you don't have to have a big hat to acomidate all the space your dreadies might need. I had a hard time finding a winter hat and then I thought about wearing this over my ears and it is nice and cozy. So many uses! lol Tell me if you guys come up with any good ones.
Wowy its beautiful...as are you!! ive never seen you look as gorgeous as you do in these pictures i want one of those hatty things i might make one if i can get some fleece fabric.
as long as you two don't mind having the same color as me! lol All I need is your head measurement in inches... if you subtract one inch from the org. num already make sure to tell me so I don't mess it up.
hey i never said i didnt like it.... isaid i thought it looked *kind of* like a pair of sweatpants leg cut off! i have seen it before now if you want to start somthin bring it on and i will pull that fleece over your eyes and... well yeah ... but please will you make me one? stinky pete
screw you hippy!... well... ok... u talked me into it. *sniffs* whats the smell....? PETE.... is that you...? lmao I think I'm going to do something different to yours. Make it, have pockets and maybe have the sweatpantish feel? lmao! That'll teach you to tell me I'm wearin sweatpants on me head!
awww yay!!! *gasp* you just reminded me!!! THEY ARE A YEAR OLD NOW!!! woooooooooooooooooooohoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *parties*
I love it! I think I'll have to get my sister to make me one of those (I couldn't sew if my life depended on it). I agree with what the others are saying as well, you're amazingly beautiful!
earthy mama, thanks so much for posting this!! i am new to the forum but have had my dreads for about 8 months now. i've just made one in about one minute flat and it is the most comfortable thing i've had on my head in ages! can't wait to try sleeping with it... thanks again!
