Well thank goodness my hair is really getting a move on now.Still no fringe so hence the headband.This is so much cooler to wear.I've been designing and sewing lots of colourful cotton bands.I thoug...
Hi Di,
I used cotton for my headbands-anything else makes you sweat.I made 2 styles.The one I have on is actually a square 56cmx56cm light cotton voile.I can either fold a triangle and have it as full headcover scarf or fold it over several times to make a headband that ties at the back of the head.My other headbands are heavier cotton(eg.for patchwork)and involve abit more sewing.For the headband cut a fabric strip 54cmx14cm-fold it and sew edges together.Turn edge inside and iron flat.Then cut 2 strips of fabric 54cmx8cm-fold both and sew edges together then turn right way,You should have 2 "tubes" to iron flat.Then it's just a matter of attaching the 2 ties to each end of the main headband.You end up tying a bow at the back. I embellished one with black lace -you can get creative!Different colour for each outfit.I hope my directions are clearer than mud!
