Quick and really easy! I made it out of an old stretched out jersey sweater, but a stretchy T-Shirt would also work. I added a few more pleats at the back to cover up some bad seaming (still getting to grips with the sewing machine...). Think I'll hand sew the next one :s Apologies for the awkward photos (taking flattering photos of my own head proved difficult.
