Allie loves sparkly hair bows but we wanted to mix things up and make her a hair accessory that wasn’t a bow.
Continue reading to see what we made to complete her look.
This Month’s Sewing Motto:
Inspiration is good, but inspiration plus action is so much better.

Dolly Sewing Crush: Blythe Style Dress Up Project #4
For the hair accessory to complement Allie’s look, we decided to keep things chic but casual.
So we turned to page 47 in the Blythe Style Dress Up Sewing Book and discovered a fashionable Turban.
In 6 steps plus sub steps your doll will have a hair accessory that will have her looking good and feeling good!
The directions for the Turban are written in Japanese.
There are no images to go with the directions, only an illustration with numbers that correspond to the steps.
Your Layout For Sewing Success
Here is your blueprint for making the Turban:
The Turban
- Fold fabric in half
- Sew long edges
- Turn right side out
- Hand stitch & gather the 2 ends
The Connector
- Fold fabric in half
- Sew long edges
- Turn right side out
- Place elastic inside both ends of the turban & sew
The Turban
- Sandwich connector between both ends of the elastic
- Sew in place
- Fold the middle of the ribbon in half
- Sew long edge
- Turn right side out
- Hand sew ribbon to turban
Awesome sauce, the Turban is complete!
Final Thoughts:
Allie loves her turban and is anxious for more!

I was a bit confused by the instructions when placing the connector into the ends of the turban, but I made it work somehow. 🙂
And That’s A Wrap!
Allie and I had a great time building her wardrobe with you.
