How To: Make U-Part Wig On Sewing Machine | Step By Step

Hey: what's up y'all, it's your girl, the kids me - and i am back again with another video in this video. I'M going to be showing you step by step, how i make my u-part wigs on a sewing machine, so we are starting off with some hair. From my hair collection, if you didn't know now, you know your girl has a hair collection. I'Ll have everything down in the description box, but the bundles that we are going to be using is going to be my 4a kinky curly bundles. This is exactly what you're going to get in a pack you're going to get a thank you for your purchase card as well as when you flip it over. It'S going to tell you that if you tag us in your selfies on instagram, we will give you 15 off. Then i'm going to give you some lashes inside of your package as well, and this is going to be the hair. I to me i feel, like my hair matches, the 4a texture a lot more than the 4b and the 4c. So that's the reason why i'm going to be using this? For my? U part wig, and then this is the hair after you already brush the curls out and they're, not in that uniform curl. Now, if you do order a wig from me and not just the bundles, you will receive your wig in this box. I love my boxes. I'M so in love with my boxes and i'm actually going to have a video with all of the details and how i got my box design, but the wig is gon na, come with an elastic band as well as a wig tag. Uh sewed inside of it and as you can see, the elastic band is adjustable, so you can make it a little, looser or tighter. Depending on your head size, before my wig caps, i use the q fit make your own wig caps that you can get at your local beauty supply store. I use the regular ones as well as the extra large so for my 23 and up circumference you're gon na use the extra large. So in this video i will be using the extra large wig cap because of the simple fact that my head size is 23 inches and then we're going to move along with the canvas block as well. And i'm just going to show you how to measure your head circumference to make sure that, when you're getting these custom, wigs or you're ordering wigs in general that you know exactly the size of your head so that your measurements can fit. So because i make custom wigs, i already know that for 23 inch you need to use an extra large. The regular wig cap is going to be too tight, so an extra large is going to give you that extra space that you need, but, as you can see, there is a lot more space inside of this wig and it doesn't really fit the head. So i'm going to go in and resize the cap and, as you can see, i'm just gon na pull that extra cap all the way to the front section of the wig cap and then i'm gon na go ahead and sew that down i'm just gon na. Let you watch it so that you can kind of get a gist of exactly what i'm doing. It doesn't really have to be perfect. You just want to make sure that it's neatly pushed to the front and sewn down so that when you go in on your sewing machine, everything is intact uh, and this is what you're going to get after you do that step, and now you have a resize Cap to specifically fit your head size, so now i'm going to go in with one of my marker sharpies and i'm going to make my guidelines now. What i like to start off with is four inches of parting space, so i'm gon na go across um and doing half an inch in between the one and a three and then for going back for the parting space, i'm going to do four inches. So the half of inch on each side of the between the one and a three is going to be how thick the space is for my actual leave out and then going back from the forehead area to the back, which is going to be. The four inches. Is going to be, of course, how how far back my actual parting space goes? Let'S go, then you want to go ahead and draw out your guidelines. Now, i'm not using my measuring tape, but pretty much i'm eyeballing it and it is a inch between each line. Maybe like an inch pretty much like an inch, so if that was you - and this is your first time - you definitely want to measure it and do an inch of spacing now for me. I definitely think that you cannot sew tracks on a sewing machine without doing the guidelines, and just remember too, they are guidelines they're going to help you as you sew the tracks down, so you want to get them as good as you can get them. But, as you can see, mine aren't as neat, but the wig is still going to come out flawlessly anyway, so just don't concentrate on trying to make them really neat. The sewing machine that i'm going to be using is the singer tradition. I got this from. I believe i got this from joanne fabrics, but i think they sell them pretty much everywhere, including amazon, so i'll try to find a link down in the description box, but i'm going to go in before i start making my wigs. I want to make sure that i have me an extra bobbin and i go ahead and prep the bobbin just in case. I run out of thread in my bobbin that i currently have inside of the sewing machine, so i don't have to keep stopping and re-threading the tracks and all it had to be pretty much taken care of, and then the first thing i'm gon na do is I'M gon na take that wig tag and i'm going to sew that in the nape area of the cap, so it's gon na go right in the back and it just pretty much just adds a staple onto my wig caps. Just so they'll know that they got it from the kids me hair collection. Of course, if you do not have a hair collection you're going to skip this step, so i'm just going to show you how i put the wig tags on and you do want to make sure that you switch it from the you just want to make sure You switch it to the straight stitch because i did have it on the zigzag and, as you can see it looks like it was already made inside of the wig cap. I love adding my branding to my you know to my products like i love it, so i'm gon na go ahead and unravel the hair. Now, usually, if i'm working with three bundles, i would sew the tracks together to double um, to double the wefts. But since i'm not i'm only working with two bundles, i'm not going to worry about doubling the wefts we're just going to go ahead and get started on the sewing machine. As you can see, i'm just going to line the hair up onto my actual guideline and i'm just gon na start sewing and i do have the zigzag stitch. I believe both my tension and my length is on four and, as you can see you just wan na make sure you go first the stitch so that you can make sure that the hair is definitely you can make sure that the hair is secure. So i think i double, i think i double back like three or four times before i start sewing the actual track down and then i'm gon na go in and cut the end off and i'm going to reverse stitch three or four times again and then and Then there you go, you have your track! Your first track attached to your wig cap now for those people that do not like cutting their wefts, i haven't met anyone that make wigs on a sewing machine that flips the tracks over. So if you find someone or if you find a technique, definitely help us out and show us, but for the most part in order to get your wig to lay as flat as possible. You'Re gon na have to cut each track as you get towards the end. So this is going to be what it looks like you're gon na see, as i keep going throughout the video i'm gon na go over and over again and show you exactly what i'm doing but doing it on the sewing machine is so much quicker and it's So much neater and it guarantees that your wig is gon na last you at least two years, because it's because of the stitching, so i definitely think you should try it this way, i was hand stitching for about a year or two before i switched over to The sewing machine and i absolutely love the sewing machine better. So i'm just going to let the video keep playing and i'm just going to show you over and over again exactly what i'm doing and then i'll meet you towards the end of the video to show you exactly how i do the u-part section. Just i'm writing rhymes in the kitchen smoking the moments we live in, i'm on hiatus, baby! Don'T check for me! [ Applause ]! If i'm a hater baby, don't check for me and live i'm in a place yay! So right here we are moving towards the last track again you're going to be following the same steps that i showed you before just lining up the single track onto the wig cap in the guideline that you have and you're just going to start sewing and then You'Re going to reverse stitch three or four times to make sure that it's secure and then you're going to continue to sew the track down. Now, when it comes to the top section of your hair, because this is the last track - you just want to make sure that you take your time. That'S why i'm not speeding up this video at all, because i want y'all to see it in real time exactly what it looks like, because it can get a little tricky. It'S a little narrow and you want to make sure that you're sewing it correctly. According to the guidelines, especially when you make that turn right here, so yeah we're just going to sew this last track down and then continue with the rest of the video. So so this is going to be the finished wig after we got done sewing and before we cut the actual u-part section. Look how neat this sewing machine method is like i love making wigs on the sewing machine. It is the best so you're just going to take some scissors and you're going to cut that whole. You section out of the wig cap, so no you're not cutting it down that middle line, you're cutting it around the! U of the actual traps traps the actual tracks. I'M sorry, um. That middle line was just a guideline for you to know where your middle section was, and that was it so yeah. As you can see, this is going to be the finished look. I did go in and add some combs, as well as in the elastic band inside of the wig, so i have a comb in the back and then i have three of the clip-ins at the top. Because to me i feel, like the clip-ins work, a little better and they're a little more sturdier for your hair. So i'm going to have a another video showing you how i installed this hair and get it to blend in with my natural hair. So make sure you stay tuned for that check out my hair collection down below i'm going gon na have the information in the description box.
