chemo scarf

One of my family members is going through chemo just now. She just got to the hair loss part. She saw some scarves online that had a bit of padding along the front from ear to ear. She thought that might be better than a straightforward scarf, as it would give a profile more like when you wear one over your hair. could I make some? Oh, and there was another site with some more fancy ones which would be nice for going out to dinner, etc.

So, first of all I had this scarf a friend brought back from Portugal. It wasn't quite my colours, but it is great for her. and it really looks a lot like the fancy ones she saw.

So, I cut some wadding/batting strips from trimming quilts. Because the fabric was sheer, I covered the wadding first with a scrap of black chiffon. It means it doesn't show as obviously through the scarf fabric as the white/cream colour of the wadding.
Then I folded it into the front middle section and stitched it down back and forth lengthwise.

Here it is on my hat form.

I am doing some more from scraps of fabric in my stash...most of them a bit less fancy. but she has chosen some pretty bright and raucous colours from the quilting cottons! You can see the first few here. I have sent them off and will make some more after some feedback to see if I need to change things.
