SEW Hip! Sew Small Headband (issue 19) is completed, and as sticky pokey up things go this is really cute not to mention…
…incredibly easy to make!
Seriously, anyone can cut teardrop shaped fabric pieces (in various sizes) and sew them together to make a lovely headband.
This is the perfect afternoon project to do…
with your daughters, nieces or granddaughters!
After a little rolling up of petals, a tweak here and there…
The headband itself consists of 6mm wide elastic in a fabric tube which you then sew along with a zig zag stitch (elastic pulled taught as you work).
I tried the sewing and found it didn't work for me (no idea why), but as my headband was already nicely ruched before sewing I decided to keep it as it was.
Sometimes it's best to leave things well alone!
Attaching the flower to the headband is also easy. I used Gutermann Creativ glue along with a few secure stitches.
So here it is…
…My version of the SEW Hip! Sew Small Headband…

I have never been one for headbands but I am now rethinking this 🙂

Very pretty headband and I also have never been one for them, maybe time to experiment.
Just think what else you could do with the same principal! Bobbles, brooches, a bag closing – you know the one where you put it round the neck of the bag! Great Heidi!!
…not bad ideas Alison, I especially like the idea of the bag opening 🙂
