Sewing a Simple Cloth Headband

You can make a cute cloth headband for yourself, child or a friend with just a few materials.
You will need:
Fabric
Elastic
Scissors
Ruler
Marking Pencil
Sewing Machine

Start by measuring two pieces of fabric.  I cut my headband 15" x 3" but you can choose the thickness or thinness you wish to have.  You will also need another piece of fabric.  Cut this piece about 12" x 3".  These measurements are for a toddler's head. Make these measurements larger if you are making it for yourself.


After you have marked the fabric to the sizes you want, cut them out and lay them flat.


Fold the inner edges around your big piece of fabric and pin both sides on your larger piece of fabric.  With your smaller piece fold it in half lengthwise and pin it tight.  Sew the seams shut and make sure you take out all of the pins.


Turn the smaller piece right side out and slip the piece of elastic through.


Sew the end of the piece of fabric where the elastic ends.  It will look scrunched up like the piece below.



Next, fold both sides of your larger piece like pictured below.  Be sure to sew it so it is secured.  Don't worry if it looks messy, you won't be able to see this part..


Slip the elastic piece of fabric under the larger piece and sew shut.  Repeat on the other side as well.


Tada! Here is your new headband!



So cute!!! :)

You may have found a great monitor and the computer may be equipped with a fast processor, but remember things like your keyboard and mouse. Your mouse and keyboard contribute to your computing experience, so make sure that you spend time picking out the best ones.
