1950s Styled Headband
I love these head bands but where I live they are hard to come by. This is a quick and easy way of making them. However I made this head band way to small for me so i put it on a teddy.
Cutting
Find a some fabric you like and cut it into two stripes about 8 to 10cm wide. They can be any length it depends on the size of your head. (It needs to be at least 25cm larger than your head)Then round the ends.
Sewing
Put both sides with the pattern on it together. Then sew around the edged but leave one end open so that you can put the wire in.
Putting in the Wire
Cut a piece of thin wire just less then two lengths of the fabric.Then turn your fabric so the patterned side is facing outwards. Then make the wire into a huge loop and twist the two ends together. Then feed the loop of wire through the open end of your fabric.
Sew the End
Simply fold the open end together like in the picture and sew the end together.
