Snowy Sunday

I was in need a a headband today and I did not have one. So, I decided to make one. I searched the internet for tutorials, but did not come up with what I wanted. So, I took a leap and made one with no pattern and no tutorial.

May I present The Spa Headband.


I have all these shorter hairs around my face and it was really starting to bug me when I would go to wash my face. So, I took care of it. How to make one? See below:

Supplies:
21" long x 5.25" wide piece of any towel material you want. This is the main headband.

4" long x 5.25" wide piece of any towel material you want. This is the back of the band.

Two 3" long strips of 1/2" wide elastic.

Needle.

Thread.

Iron.

Tutorial:
All seams are 1/4"

Pin strips of elastic to shorter piece of towel material as shown below:


Be sure the elastic will stretch the same direction as you need your headband to stretch. In other words, the 3" length should be pinned to fit the 4" length of the towel.


Sew elastic onto material in three places on each piece. Use a secure stitch similar to below:


Sew one edge of the short piece of towel and long piece of towel right sides together.


Fold the headband in half lengthwise and pin. Stitch the entire length of the headband, leaving both ends open. Pull the headband inside out so the correct side is showing:




Iron the non-elastic parts of the headband flat so the seam is on the bottom.

On one open end of the headband, fold in edges about a quarter of an inch. Take the other open end and insert it to the end where the edges are folded in. Hand stitch the seam closed.

And you are done! You can even wear it in the shower and throw it in the wash when it needs it.



Much Love,
