Perseus obtained from them the artifacts he needed to slay the Gorgon Medousa (Medusa). The Hesperides were also the keepers of other treasures of the gods. Athena later returned them to the Hesperides. Herakles was sent to fetch the apples as one of his twelve labours and, upon slaying the serpent, stole the precious fruit. They were assisted by a hundred-headed guardian- Drakon (Dragon). The Hesperides were entrusted with the care of the tree of the golden apples which was had been presented to the goddess Hera by Gaia (the Earth) on her wedding day. They were the daughters of either Nyx (Night) or the heaven-bearing Titan Atlas. THE HESPERIDES were the goddess-nymphs of evening and the golden light of sunsets. You can wear it as a scarf or a hood to keep your ears warm.Of the Evening ( hesperos) Hesperid-nymph Lipara, Athenian red-figure hydria C5th B.C., British Museum Top stitch the folded edge in place by sewing 1/4″ (0.5cm) along the edge. Note, at this point I had zigzaged the raw edge of the wrap as it was fraying and I was having troubles tucking the stray threads into the fold. This step is best done before starting sewing.įold the edge over 3/8″ (1cm) a second time to hide the raw edge. To finish the edges of the cowl, fold over the edge 3/8″ (1cm) and press in place. The seam will look finished on the inside. This will leave a seam and top stitching showing on the outside of the cowl. Sew close to the folded edge of Rail B 1/8″ – 1/4″ (0.5 cm) away from the edge.You will be sewing on the same side as Rail A. Take Rail B and flop the whole seam over to the other side and pin in place. Rail B will cover up the seam allowance from Rail A. Press Rail B over 1/2′ (1.5cm) back towards the seam. This is the trickiest part (or at least the trickiest part to show in pictures). Using an iron, press the seam towards Rail B. Sew a 1″ (2.5cm) seam from Rail B or 1/2″ (1.5 cm) on Rail A. To start, line up the 2 rails with Rail B (the blue one) sticking out 1/2″ (1.5cm) further than the Rail A (the yellow one). It sounds fancy, it looks fancy and yet is easy to sew. I like to hide the seam by making a flat felled seam. You could just sew the rail ends together and call it a day. It isn’t shown until later in this tutorial, but zigzag stitching or serging the raw edges will keep the edges from fraying and keep stray threads to a minimum. Start with a rectangle at least 10″ x 25″ (25cm x 63cm). The side with the plastic bulb goes in the seam and run it along the rail to cut the threads. Careful using this technique on handwovens or loose weave machine wovens as it is easy to catch the threads of the wrap. The plastic bulb goes into the seam and runs along the rail to quickly cut the threads. You could cut them off, but for most machine woven wraps undoing a hem is quick if you are using the seam ripper properly. If your wrap has hemmed rails, you will need to unpick the hems. That will mean you will have a finished size of 23″ (57.5cm) and it may not make it over your head. The average adult head is 22″ (55cm) and some wraps are only 24″ (60cm) wide. Do you have a piece of wrap that you wish you could have a scarf except it’s only 10+” (25 cm) wide? No problem! Make a cowl instead!įirst measure your head! This is important because you want to make sure this is going to fit over your head once you are done! The width of your wrap should be 3″ (7.5cm) bigger than your head otherwise you are going to have a hard time wearing the cowl.
