Do exactly the same to the other rectangle.<\/p>\n

Open your seams by ironing them. \u00a0Take your rectangles and turn them inside out.\u00a0 With right sides of the fabric together pin A to B, and stitch with your sewing machine or by hand. \u00a0Follow the photograph to guide you.<\/p>\n
<\/noscript><\/p>\nWhen you have done both sides, it will resemble a small long skirt with a big opening in the middle.<\/p>\n
<\/noscript><\/p>\nTurn your piece inside out.\u00a0 You should have a hole at the top. \u00a0Thread the other rectangle through the hole to form a T-shape.<\/p>\n
<\/noscript><\/p>\nStitch A and B together starting from the end of the 3 inch seam in the middle.\u00a0 Do it on both sides.<\/p>\n
<\/noscript><\/p>\nThe Elastic Band<\/h2>\n We are almost done.\u00a0 To finish up this simple and easy headband project we are going to make the casing of the elastic.\u00a0 Sew the casing just wide enough to fit the elastic –about 1\/4 of an inch. \u00a0Insert the elastic and sew, tacking back and forth about 2 times to secure the elastic. \u00a0Pull the elastic from the other end and tack once again.<\/p>\n
Now all you need to do is to place the elastic band in the middle of the opening and accordion fold the rest of the fabric on top the elastic band folding<\/span>\u00a0it no wider than the elastic band.\u00a0 Sew very carefully because this is a tricky\u00a0bit.\u00a0 You might want to start in the middle and go back and forth with the machine.\u00a0 Do the same to the other side.\u00a0 Pull the elastic band and it will fold inside the folds of the fabric and this raw edge will not be seen.<\/p>\n <\/noscript> <\/noscript><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The headband is made this way to accommodate very elegantly and easily a head between 21 and 23 inches in circumference.<\/p>\n
And You're Done<\/h2>\n Now you have a very easy headband that took only 15 minutes to make.\u00a0 Make this project with a girl that is just starting to sew and it will give her confidence and a pretty accessory to brighten up her outfit.\u00a0 Alternatively, it will make a great addition to your market stall.<\/p>\n
I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I did making it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
An Easy Headband Project The question keeps popping up:\u00a0 what to do with my scraps of fabric?\u00a0 Should I throw them away?\u00a0 Should I just give them away for free?\u00a0 A couple weeks ago we published a tutorial showing how to make a beaded necklace using fabric scraps and \u2026 Continue reading → <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":308,"featured_media":23509,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[101,98,88,4,38],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23477"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/308"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23477"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23477\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":48260,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23477\/revisions\/48260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23509"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23477"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23477"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23477"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
