Snowboarding Bandanna
written by threadslinger
I recently spent 4 days on the mountain boarding and when I came back my face was nearly raw from windburns. I saw lots of people on the mountain with bandannas tied over their faces and thought to myself that I could make it a little better. I came up with this nifty and cozy bandanna. Make one to protect your face! Also, this can be used for skiing too. I am snowboard centric because it is what I do. Oh, and also cause it is the best.
Materials Needed
Fleece
Fabric
Velcro
Sewing Machine
Directions
1. Fold over fabric (think hamburger style, please someone get that reference) and cut out a triangle that will fit around your face. Repeat the same with fleece.
2. Sew them right sides together, leaving a space to turn inside out on either side of the bottom of the triangle. Set aside.
3. Cut 2 strips each of fabric and fleece, put right sides together and sew 3 sides, turn inside out. Place inbetween layers on triangle piece and sew together.
4. Sew velcro pieces on the end of the strips and VOILA you have a rockin’ bandanna.
Here is a sick nasty photo of it modeled by yours truly.
This is very nice. I also took a crack at snowboard bandana making this season after seeing a cool Neff one, but being a simple girl, mine requires no sewing.
I bought a square of colorful fleece (at WalMart!) and cut it into 2, and voila! No sewing! I have a few different fabric patterns for different outfits. I think if you shop the fleece dept. early you can find some great colors and styles there, at less than $7 yard.
That is a super good idea
