Patter: Khimars Cutting – ENJOY for LIFE-TIME
Patter: Khimars Cutting – ENJOY for LIFE-TIME
It was last year that a sister commented on the way i wear my hijab consisting of a long shayla, a head-cap, few pins, and a niqab. It looked too much to her. I loved khimars always. They look amazing on a woman. Alhamdulillah. However, i did not know how to wear one. I was given one once but i gave it away because i did not know how to wear it. Then, my friend got me 2 from Yemen, i gave them away too as i did not know how to wear them. The fabric was so soft. I missed them but i couldn’t use them. So, since that sister commented i wanted to replace my shayla for khimar. Think after a year later, Allah guided me to khimar and i wear them and i LOVE THEM SOOOOOOOOO MUCH. HONEST. I love khimars. They are sooooooooo Comfortable. Alhamdulillah. So loose and wide and air goes in and out. And my neck area is free of wrapping Alhamdulillah. I feel so blessed and happy. Alhamdulillah.
I made this lemon color long khimar out of linen fabric. The length reaches my shin area from the back more than from the front. I use it for my prayer. I made it into a tied khimar, which is not that hard but it was my first try. And Alhamdulillah it is cool Alhamdulillah.
So below are few cutting tips for Khimar. I hope you make yours and ENJOY it for a life-time.
this is the full length fabric. Fold it in half.
so here is your folded fabric. the left folded side is your back side of the khimar and the right side is your 2 edges area that is your ham area and front edges area is your to be sewn front area that will hang down from your neck.
Cut in curve like you see my marks… front sewn area should be 3-4 inches shorter than the back area. Remember. and then cut and sew the ham lines and enjoy for life-time the khimars.
