How to make:
Fun Headgear for S-S 2015
-
Take the fabric and cut two pieces of long rectangular shape (32 inches long and 2 inches wide). This will give you about 4 inch long tie up.
-
Round off the edges of all the sides in each of the pieces equally using a scissor. Or you can cut a leaf shape for a bunny effect.
-
Not put them on top of each other with the fronts facing each other and sew all the sides and leave a 2 inch opening on the longer side in the centre for turning the headband right side out.
-
Now turn the headband right side and try to reshape the corners into a neat semicircle/ leaf using an iron.
-
Close the opening with a running stitch on the right side, don’t worry it would not show as it would come behind the neck.
-
Now wrap the headband around your head and tie a double knot. Make the tie-ups neat and straight. Voila! You are ready.
Note:
-
You can use printed fabrics like polka dots or abstract prints to make it more fun.
-
You can increase of decrease the size of the cut fabric according to your choice.
-
You can make it wider or even longer to have elongated tie ups. Or even have double band!
