Some hijabs consist of a single piece of fabric that may be square, oblong, or triangular, while others may involve 2 pieces of fabric. Practically speaking, you can use any type of scarf as long as it is big enough to cover your hair, ears, and neck. Select a scarf that has just the right amount of fabric to cover you completely without being too bulky and billowy.  Scarves designed to be worn as hijabs can be found in Muslim stores and online specialty shops. A long rectangular piece of cloth called a shayla is a popular type of scarf used for the hijab. The al-amira is another common headscarf style.  Some women prefer hijabs with slim profiles while others prefer a fuller drape or even a few layers. Try different styles and sizes to see what you like the best. Scarves made of natural fibers like silk, or cotton are typically more comfortable and breathable than those made of synthetic fibers. Choose a woven fabric for a neat and nicely draping hijab, or a stretch knit material for extra comfort and flexibility.  Chiffon can be very elegant, plus its lightweight and breathable. However, it’s more sheer and prone to slipping, so you’ll definitely need an underscarf. Georgette has a little more texture than chiffon, which prevents slippage, and it drapes just as beautifully.  Jersey, a stretch knit fabric, can be comfortable and provide a lot of coverage since its opaque. It can be a great casual choice, and typically doesn’t need to be secured with pins.  You should feel comfortable in the fabric you’ve chosen. If it's too slippery, too hot, or too tight, try a different material. A patterned scarf can brighten up your outfit, while a solid-color scarf in a neutral shade that’s flattering to your skin tone can be worn with anything.  Neutral shades such as white, cream, beige, and brown can be flattering and versatile. Think about a color you find flattering in makeup and try a hijab in that color. You might like blush pink, silvery lavender, or dusty blue. Black is also a popular choice. Look for a black scarf with a discreet pattern as opposed to the usual solid. A patterned scarf can brighten up your outfit, especially if the rest of your clothes are subdued. Alternatively, a solid-color scarf can be easily worn with anything.  Keep in mind that the purpose of the hijab is to remain modest, not to draw attention. With that in mind, steer clear of any print or color you think is overly attention-grabbing. If you lead an active lifestyle, purchase a hijab that’s made of a wicking performance fabric and designed to be worn with athletic attire. Find one that fits snugly around your head and doesn’t need to be pinned.  Alternatively, choose a machine-washable jersey scarf and make sure it’s on securely before hitting the gym.  To maintain your hijab, machine-wash it frequently. Along with your hijab, loose jogging pants and a long sleeved t-shirt should serve for most exercise activities. If you play team sports, pick out a hijab in a color that matches your uniform. You may also need to wear a long shirt or bottoms underneath the team uniform.

Q: There are different ways of wrapping and tying a dhoti, and Brahmins have a special variation of their own. To tie a Brahmin style dhoti, you make two folds in the back and one in the front. To start, hold the fabric horizontally behind you. Make sure the colored bands are at the top (at your waist) and facing outward. Wrap the fabric from the back to the front so that you're holding the material in front of your body. Arrange the cloth so that you have equal amounts of fabric on the right and left sides.  With the material from the left side, pull the cloth taut and wrap it around your waist. Hold the cloth at your right hip, letting the excess drape down your side to the ground. Wrap the material from the right side around your waist and hold it at your left hip. Pull the material so it’s snug around your waist. At the waist, fold the material down by about an inch (2.5 cm). Then fold it again by another inch to hold it in place. A defining characteristic of the dhoti is the accordion-style pleats, called kosuval, that you create by folding and tucking the cloth. To make the first fold:  Pick up the top layer of material that’s hanging from your left hip. Hold the material straight out in front of you. Make a two- to four-inch (five- to 10-cm) vertical fold in the end of the material to fold the fabric back on itself toward your body. Make a second accordion-style fold in the material in the same way. Continue making folds like this until you’ve made about six accordion folds in the fabric. Tuck the top three or four inches (7.5 to 10 cm) of the folded material into the waistband of the cloth. Lean down and pick up the bottom corner of the material you just folded in to your waistband. Smooth out the fabric so it isn't twisted. Orient the fabric so the decorative band running at the very edge of the horizontal border of the material is vertical in front of you.  Make six vertical accordion folds in the end of the material, folding the fabric back toward your body as before. Tuck the top three or four inches (7.5 to 10 cm) of the folded material into the waistband of the cloth, on top of the first fold. Lift up the layers of material that you just folded and tucked in to your waistband, so you can access the loose material at the right side of your body. Pull the material out in front of you. Let go of the material that you already folded and tucked in.  Hold the material from the right side of your body in front of you. Smooth it out so it isn't twisted or bunched up. Hold the corner of the fabric and orient it so the decorative band on the horizontal edge is vertical in front of you. Make about 10 accordion folds in the fabric, until you have folded the entire vertical panel of fabric. Flatten and smooth out the material so the folds are neat and straight. The final fold gets tucked into the back of the waistband. Bring the folded material through your legs, making sure to go underneath the rest of the cloth.  Grab the folded material from the back and pull it out so it’s over the top of the cloth wrapped around your waist. Make sure the material hasn’t become twisted. Bring the top of the folds to your waist and tuck the top three or four inches (7.5 to 10 cm) of the fold into the waistband of the cloth.  The fabric going between your legs should be snug, but not tight or painful.
A: Position your material. Wrap the cloth around your waist. Make the first folds. Make the second fold. Make the third fold. Tuck the final fold.

Article: But first, allow the paint a minimum of 24 hours to dry and set. Then you should use 220-grit sandpaper to lightly sand your finished paint job. This will give a uniform finish to the board and remove any irregularities from it. Once you have finished sanding, wipe free the sawdust with a damp, lint/fuzz free rag/t-shirt. Wait 15 minutes, and then remove the tape on the sides/top of your board. Reattach your trucks and your design is done!
