How To Make A Lace Closure Wig On A Sewing Machine. #Invertedbobwig Part #1

Welcome to my channel, it's hair to say, bye, miss e, I'm gon na show you how I created this inverted bob wig on the sewing machine. I'M gon na take my measurements. I'M gon na do the circumference, which is around the head and, as you can see, I have a 22 inch circumference wig head and I'm gon na measure that out and then I'm gon na go from front to back, which is about a 14 and a half 15, in my natural measurements, are 22 circumference and 14 front to back. So this is going to work for me, I'm gon na ask that you make sure you have a seam ripper, because that's going to ensure that if you make a mistake, you can go ahead and take those west of the cap it if you need to do So and right now I'm securing my my closure. It is a 13 by 4 inch closure, I'm gon na secure it so that I can begin to make the tracings so that later on, I can go back, and so the closure on I've secured the top with the TPS they're, just making sure that it's nice And taut and I'm gon na go ahead and trace around that closure. With my metallic marker, I'm gon na go ahead right now and start making my markings for the website. I'M gon na sew on right now, they're very, very close together, probably about a half inch and the reason being is because I'm not using Bundle hair. I'M just gon na use regular track here that I got from my local beauty, supply store and actually some scraps of hair that I'm gon na use as well. You can basically use any kind of hair you want, but I chose this hair. It was inexpensive just for this. Video didn't want to use any expensive hair before this. For the making of this video. As I go up the top, I am going to make my markings about an inch apart and I am going to make sure that they are as straight as I possibly can get them, and I'm gon na use my black permanent marker to just do what I Call it black out, because I don't really like the way the markings are on here. So this is something that you can do to go ahead and take those markings out. I wanted to make sure that everything was even on both sides of the head and when they were not even, I decided to just block them out and remark them.

When I have it NYX another video coming up and make sure you hit the like button and share this video with someone and at this point right now, you can see I've already done the markings. Everything is basically nice and balanced. The lines are not very straight, and they don't have to be straight, but as long as they are balanced on each side, that's going to work perfectly. So I'm gon na double the tracks on all build. The tracks are very thick if you've ever worked with just regular track here. You know that the tracks are very very thick, but I am going to double the first, I'm gon na say a few rolls basically up to half of the head and then I'm gon na just do single tracks the rest, the rest of the way, because the Tracks are very, very thick so right here, I'm doubling them. I just put one on top of the other very close together and I'm gon na use a zig-zag stitch. However, when I sold the tracks on I'm just going to use a single stitching to sew the weft on to the wig cap, and I did use just a regular spandex dome wig cap, I also use the mesh caps, but for this video I decided to just Use the regular dome cap so here is the end result make sure that you double stitch when you start at the beginning of your stitching and when you finish at the end and as I looked at this video, I realized that I lost some footage. I apologize for that, but basically you see where I have already gone up to the top crown of the head and you're, basically just following those lines and stitching the wefts onto those lines. This is a part where it starts to get really tricky when you start getting up to the crown you have actually put so much hair on the cap to where it's really difficult to maneuver the hair on to the sewing machine. What I would advise is that you would take the arm portion of the sway machine off so that you can basically use that have area or access to be able to maneuver the hair around. So I'm going up the crown, as you can see, I'm doing single wefts at this time and I'm going to just basically continue to sew until that whole crown area is covered. I know the lighting is not the best one here, but I am learning how to be the stylist as well as the videographer as well. So, as I do more and more videos, I will be able to improve on positioning the lighting and the video so that you all can have a clearer view of what I'm doing so, as you can see here, I am moving up at the crown and we're Going to make sure I stay probably about one sixteenth of an inch away from the area where the closure is going to be. I want to leave just a little bit of space between those two webs so right now, what I'm doing is. I'M sewing getting closer and closer to the finishing the crown area and you want to take your time. You don't want to try to rush, but you want to take your time. I am smoothing the wig cap, but I am NOT stretching it. You don't want to stretch it, you just want to smooth and make sure there's no wrinkles or crinkles when you are sewing. So, as you can see, I am done with the stitching, and all I have to do next is to so the closure on it, and here is the wig inside out. As you can see, there is no lumps and bumps on here, but everything looks pretty smooth make sure you stay tuned for part 2 of this video, where I'm going to show you how I cut in style this wig. That video is coming up very soon. Make sure you stay tuned for that and I am going ahead right here and I am putting my closure on. You want to make sure that, even when you're tracing or getting ready to trace around the spot for your closure, as I did in the beginning - and I forgot to mention - is you want to be a half inch? Bring your closure down a half inch away from the edge of the cap, because this is going to make sure that your closure lays flat on your hand when you put it on. You want to be 1/2 an inch away from the edge of captain. So I have my needle and thread I did use my synthetic, not synthetic, I'm sorry, but I used my nylon thread and I am going ahead and just stitching from the front of the right side and I'm gon na stitch all the way to the middle back And then I'm going to go to the left front side and I'm gon na stitch to the middle of the back, and I use this technique because it always ensures that I am going to have a smooth, smooth stitching's with no gaps in between. When I use the technique, so that is the technique of my choice and I am stitching my closure on to the wig cap and not connecting it to that weft. I don't want to connect it to that weft because it causes a gap. If you - or at least when I do it, when you try to sew those 2 webs together and actually if I was making this wait for a person, I would go ahead and secure this with the sewing machine after I sell it on hand. So basically, this is a finished product. Make sure you guys stay tuned for part two, and actually you can see here how the closure is nice and smooth. I hope you guys like subscribe share. This video make a comment below and I'm going to go ahead and let you watch the finishing of this video, where I am cutting the the hair cutting the material away off of the cap, so that you can see the lace and the lace is exposed. That'S basically it. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I'll, see you next time.
