In a couple of days, the bright holiday of Easter awaits us. And it’s time to sew a festive scarf for the temple. Such scarves are also called wedding, Easter or Don scarves.
We will need:
- fabric (tulle, chiffon, lace) - 1.30×0.75 m
- bias tape - 3.5 m
- mounting tape for curtains (bias tape) - 2 m
- lace (ribbon) - 1.2 m
- chalk
Everything for sewing a scarf can be bought at the Yarn store.
A very beautiful and comfortable scarf for the temple - easy to sew!
We invite you to sew a beautiful and comfortable scarf for the temple.
What are the benefits of these scarves? They do not fall off the head even when bowing, they cover the shoulders, which is important in the summer, when you want to wear a sundress, but because of the open shoulders you have to give it up, they are very beautiful and effective.
This very beautiful and stylish shawl for the temple is sewn from guipure, scalloped lace fabric, simply from silk and trimmed with matching lace.
The scarves are beautiful and effective! Especially at a wedding, the bride will look incredibly beautiful in such a scarf.
How to sew a scarf for a temple
Consumption:
- With a guipure width of 140-150 cm, from 110-120 cm you will get 2 scarves;
- Lace for this size is 3-3.5 meters (for 1 scarf);
- 1.5-1.6 meters of bias tape to match;
- 1.5 m of thin satin ribbon;
- 2 end caps (or 2 beads).
This scarf was made for an adult, but my five-year-old daughter works as a model, although the scarf looks almost as beautiful on an adult.
Layout plan:
- cut the fabric (140cm wide) in half lengthwise (in advance! The picture shows a plan of the already cut half!!!)
- bend a strip of fabric along its width
- cut off one of the bottom corners (see
photo below) - mark the drawstring
This is how we approximately cut off one of the lower corners on the fabric
This is after they trimmed the perimeter with lace and sewed on the drawstring (the photo, as always, is uneven), but in real life everything is smooth!
Lace and guipure are elastic, so I sewed them on a cover stitch, but you can also use a double needle
- I cut off the lace at the corners, and then sewed it with a small overlapping zigzag, then cut off the excess
- We sew the drawstring from the inside out, although on another scarf I sewed it from the face - it also turned out well
- We thread a satin ribbon into the drawstring, and put large beads on the ends of the ribbon and tie knots
They always ask for sizes for children's scarves. Children, of course, are different, and it depends on the width of the lace with which you will trim the scarf, but here’s roughly what I drew. 80 cm of guipure will make THREE scarves.

Fabric calculation
The amount of material depends on the style of the scarf. For snoods, products that cover the head, less fabric will be required compared to models that fall over the shoulders and chest. So, for a beautiful Don scarf for adults you need:
- piece of fabric 120 x 140 cm;
- lace for finishing edges - 3 m;
- satin ribbon - 150 cm;
- drawstring - 120 cm;
- a pair of beads for fixing on the ends of the ribbons.
Depending on the volume and splendor of the scarf, the specified amount of materials is enough for one or two products. Therefore, a piece of fabric is divided into 2 even pieces with parameters 140 x 55 cm.
To sew a scarf for a child, you need to measure the circumference of his head. If the size is 48 cm, another 40 cm is added to the resulting value to make the ties. The edges are finished with a hem seam with a closed cut. First, 0.5 cm is folded, ironed, folded a second time and stitched with a deviation from the edge of no more than 0.2 cm.

A flowing scarf for the temple - we sew according to the pattern with our own hands
When visiting a temple, every woman should be dressed appropriately. In particular, you need to pay attention to the headdress - women should only enter the Orthodox Church with their heads covered.
For these purposes, they often use a light chiffon scarf or a regular scarf, however, if you are a believer and pay attention to this, we recommend sewing a simple flowing scarf for the temple yourself. Its pattern is offered below.
To make a scarf you will need a minimum of time and materials, and the result will exceed all expectations!;)
What fabric is suitable for a temple scarf?
To create a flowing scarf, any light, breathable fabric is suitable. We recommend paying attention to the following options:
- guipure;
- silk,
- satin;
- organza;
- scalloped lace fabric.
It is not recommended to select fabrics that are too transparent, since, according to generally accepted standards, a woman in a temple should look modest and discreet. An exception is weddings: scarves made from thin, translucent materials are allowed here.
It is important to remember that the hood should cover the head and not be worn on it like a hat. In addition, the chest and shoulders should also be covered.
How to choose the color of the cape
It is extremely important to choose the right color of the cape-hood for the temple.
The white color symbolizes the miraculous light of God. It is appropriate for weddings, Christmas, Epiphany, Ascension and Transfiguration. A white cape is also worn for Easter services and the sacrament of baptism.
The black color of the scarf is the complete opposite of white. Such a headdress should be worn for repentance, renunciation of temptations, during fasting or mourning.
Colored capes can also be appropriate. For example, green - on Trinity, blue - on the days of veneration of the Mother of God.
Calculation of fabric for sewing a flowing scarf
Below we offer only approximate calculations for cutting one headdress for church. With a roll width of 1.4-1.5 meters, you will need at least 50-60 centimeters of fabric per cape. To sew a children's cape, the pattern proposed below should be reduced by 5-10 centimeters.
Flowing scarf in the temple: pattern
How to sew a scarf for a temple with your own hands: master class
First, cut off the required amount of fabric for sewing the cape. Next, you need to fold the resulting segment in half and mark it as shown in the diagram.
The dotted line marks the place where the drawstring will be sewn in; below (20 and 30 cm) there is a cape, which, falling, will cover the shoulders and chest. The cape gradually lengthens - from the chest to the center of the back. If desired, it can be lengthened or shortened.
Having transferred all the lines to the fabric, we cut it out, not forgetting about the seam allowances.
There are two ways to sew a cape
The first method is simple, without a drawstring. In this case, we will need to carefully bend the edges by 2-3 millimeters and sew them on a typewriter, and run the lace prepared in advance along the bottom.
The second method is more difficult. We sew the drawstring from the wrong side along the marked line and stretch a satin ribbon or braid into it to match the cape, 50-70 cm long.
How to decorate a finished cape
A scarf sewn according to our master class is suitable for both everyday church services and holidays. It is important to remember that the Orthodox Church does not approve of jewelry, so it is important not to overdo it either with the brightness of the color of the product or with its decor. You can decorate such a cape with a small brooch or beads/beads along the bottom of the product.

Headdress for church - a tribute to ancient traditions
People wore a headscarf to church many centuries ago - and today this ritual has not lost its relevance. This action symbolizes humility and worship of the Lord, respect and love for the Heavenly Father.
For the sacrament of baptism, you must wear a scarf of a light shade with a neat ornament or plain patterns. It should look beautiful, but absolutely not pretentious. These are the accessories that are presented in the assortment of our store.
The mantilla is a triangle with rounded edges, made of openwork translucent fabric, and trimmed with attractive lace along the edge. It falls on the shoulders like a weightless guipure cloud and serves as the best decoration for a mother or godmother at a baptism celebration. For convenience, the lace scarf is fastened with a button under the chin, which prevents it from slipping through the hair.
Choosing a scarf for a wedding: advice from stylists and instructions on how to sew it yourself
The wedding scarf is a traditional accessory of the bride’s outfit, the most strict and canonical, because a woman in the Orthodox Church must cover her head in the canopy of the temple.
There is, of course, another option - a veil, but only innocent girls can use it, and weddings increasingly take place several years after the secular registration of marriage, which makes choosing a veil impossible.
In addition, scarves are distinguished by a special, chaste beauty, which perfectly emphasizes the sacredness of the moment.
Features of the wedding
A wedding in the Orthodox Church is not just a beautiful ritual, it is a sacrament that turns two people into a single whole - a family. On a symbolic level, the rite represents the betrothal of Christ in the image of the groom, his oath to love and protect his beloved, and the bride in the image of the Church, her promise to be faithful and submissive.
Like any church ritual, a wedding has some requirements, including the dress code of all those present, and especially the bride.
Women, in principle, should not come to the temple with their heads uncovered, in conspicuously revealing clothing - bare shoulders, neckline, back, knees. Avoid fabrics that are too fluffy - synthetics are a fire hazard, and there will be a lot of candles around.
Refrain from frilly jewelry, high heels and bright makeup. They are inappropriate during the sacrament.
Important! Under no circumstances should the bride wear lipstick. Even colorless glitter is prohibited. You will kiss the images, and there should be no lipstick marks left on them.
Women traditionally come to church with their heads covered. Most often it is a scarf, festive or ordinary. Unlike a veil, which can only cover the head of an innocent girl, a scarf suits everyone. But this is not the only reason for its popularity.
The accessory looks more modest and at the same time more elegant, allowing you to play with a wide variety of shapes, designs, and colors. And it's much more convenient. According to church traditions, the bride must have her hair covered and her face open. Securing a veil in this way is not an easy task, especially if you have a high hairstyle. Most often, brides simply choose a multi-layered veil and throw it forward - and this is quite inconvenient. There is no such problem with a scarf.
Types of hats
Most often, brides prefer the white color of the accessory or its more delicate shades - ivory, champagne, cream. However, the Orthodox Church allows other colors, the main thing is that they are light, gentle, pastel. Bright or dark variations - cherry, black, purple - are best left for another holiday.

How to tie a scarf in and outside the temple?
We have already mentioned that the scarf is not the only option for head covering recommended by the Holy Apostle Paul. You can wear a beret, hat, hat, etc. to the temple. - even a cap, as long as it looks appropriate and does not interfere with the service and other worshipers (for example, wearing a hat with a wide brim is inconvenient to approach Communion, because you can push the Chalice).
Of course, the scarf must be clean and neat - a Christian woman preaches the beauty of faith with her appearance, her appearance should not repel the Church.
As a rule, the scarf is worn in such a way that the forehead is open - black veils worn “with a frown” are the lot of monastic novices. You can tie a scarf at the back, under the chin, or wrap it around your neck. The color of the scarf can be any - although many choose it in accordance with the holiday celebrated by the Church, by analogy with the vestments of clergy (white for Christmas, red for Easter, blue for the Mother of God holidays, dark for Lent, etc.)
Nowadays you can see beautiful designer scarves in the form of a hood (the so-called captive scarf
), with a cape, warriors, sewn based on Russian folk costume, etc. Choosing a model is a matter of taste for every woman.
