Anyone who knows me, knows that I am NOT a morning person. My son had an super early morning flag football game and my husband usually takes him. Not this morning. My husband was sick so I had to fill in! That's where the headband came in. Waking up late, I had no time to shower and do my hair. I threw on the headband and I looked fantastic, if I do say so myself :) Here's a how I made it:
MATERIALS:
- 2 coordinating fabric pieces (you can purchase fat quarters as it's enough to make two or so)
- elastic hair ponytail holder
- coordinating thread
- interfacing or stabilizer (to stiffen the fabric a bit)
- This template: http://freepdfhosting.com/dae318cc35.pdf
Print and cut the template
I used the same method of cutting multiple fabrics found here.
Fuse the stabilizer to a fabric of your choice.
With right sides together, fold both fabrics in half and lay the template on the fold.
Pin then then cut all three (this is not the best way to pin FYI). Remove the pins.
I don't have a picture of this next step sorry! Take each fabric piece and fold the raw edge towards the inside center of the wrong side 1/2 inch. With wrong sides together, place one fabric piece on top of the other and pin in place.
Starting from one end, sew one side then the other keeping the ends open for the elastic. Don't forget to back stitch!
Take a ponytail holder and cut it in half. Stick one end of the ponytail holder in the opening of the headband and sew it shut. Now sew the other end of the ponytail holder to the other end of the headband.
Viola! You have a reversible fabric headband!
You may be asking yourself, why did she cut the ponytail holder in half? Well in my first try I didn't cut it and it was too tight. so I had to cut it in half.
Now go make a few to match some outfits! There will no longer be a bad hair day!
