quick & easy fabric headband

I made the easiest little headband for Izzy yesterday while she napped.
Praise the Lord, she took a nap!  Can I get an AMEN!!!
Planned on adding more to it, but figured sometimes it’s best to keep it simple 😉
Supply List:
  • fabric scrap approx 4″ wide by 30″ long
  • headband template (found at end of post)
  • iron
  • scissors
  • sewing machine and thread

Here we go!
STEP ONE: After cutting out the headband template (found at the bottom of the post), fold your strip of fabric in half and place your template on top. The very top of the template marked “fold” should line up with the fold in your fabric. Cut out your fabric leaving a 1/2″ allowance. Note: you don’t need an allowance at the fold.
STEP TWO: Fold in the long edges approx 3/8″ and press with iron. Fold in again another 3/8″ and again press with iron. This will hide your frayed edges.
STEP THREE: Sew your folded edges down, leaving the two end tails raw.
STEP FOUR: Fold in your two end pieces in on themselves twice and sew down.  Now go find a cutie-pa-tootie and tie that sucker on!

    This is awesome, Shelley! Love how you make it look so easy. Wish I could help you out with the PDF thing, but alas…it's something I've been too afraid to try! It totally enhances the tutorial though. Awesome job! AS ALWAYS, mah dear! =)

    Very cute! I need to learn to make these for my little girl! Her hair seems to always be in her face and the bow always seems to have vanished! Found you by way of Chic On a Shoestring Decorating party!
