Aliennnation : series

before I get into the actual blog post content, I'd like to say that I am an idiot that managed to delete all the comments on my blog

.So if you wondering why I didn't reply AND deleted your comment ...

or.. if you were wondering if I had a " holier than thou" outlook on life....
where I look down upon thy miniscule readers and sneered as I erased all evidence of contact with my heavenly being.

nope
I was just being a immaculate example of stupidity.

that is why.

anyways, I digress

its my 10th post

In crazy girlfriend terms, the 10th post equals the one week anniversary

and to celebrate I'm starting a series using this giant piece of black fabric

In this series of DIYs, I'm going to take this piece of fabric and magically turn all of it into wearable(uhhh okay, well we could debate a bit about the definition of wearable ) pieces of clothing/accessories

hence the title...
black magic! (I'm so lame)
Your parents taught you to not waste your food, I'm telling you to not waste your fabric.

First DIY is for all the men out there..
if there is any reading my blog

I can almost hear a cricket

anyways.

this is going to be a DIY Goth Ninja Hooded Scarf (which by the way sounds a lot cooler than a snood)
inspired by Deep style hooded fringe top with hood

you can find their stuff here on their official site or on yesstyle if you just want skip everything and just buy it

and here is my DIY black hooded scarf

For all you people who have no clue what style a goth ninja is,
just imagine it.
its exactly what it seems

page from F*** Yeah Mens wear

I personally love this style.
its like Death eater chic

some key points to this style are
1. monochromatic colors such as black, black, black and shades of black (grey),
2. the bigger the hood and the more layers, the higher the level
3. Rick Owens
3.5 drape.

Now, for the DIY, you'll have to sew a bit. but it shouldn't be a big deal for beginners. (I managed right? )

you will obviously need some black fabric (preferably jersey because it is light weight and you don't have to worry about the raw edges )

fold your fabric in half with the insides of the fabric on the outside if your fabric has 2 different sides .

take something with a hood and draw a hood based on the size of that.
then extend your line to include fabric for the scarf part.

make sure the folded part is the bottom (if you want, you can also have the design with the folded part on the top if you don't want your scarf ends to touch )

pin it carefully

cut it while leaving about an inch for error and other things
