Hello everyone
Greetings to you all my lovely friends and lovers of creativity in this great community @diyhub I hope you are all doing great and having a beautiful week. It is my pleasure today to share with you how I made a twisted headband for my sister's friend's daughter as a gift from one of my left over fabric, I'm sure you will like the simplicity and beautiful outcome of it.
Last week, I made a scrunchie head band for my sister's daughters from left over fabric, I made for the older daughter and her little sister after I had made the little sister's own, it looks great on them, they wore it with their outfit to church and their friend who is my sister's friend daughter saw it and desired to have hers too, she told her mom and I was contacted. Well I don't really have a matching fabric to use to make hers but I decided to use this fabric that I knew would be enough just to make her happy.
Let's get started with the cutting and sewing process
The fabric I had was cut into 4pieces measuring 4 x 16"
Two pieces were placed together and sewn on both sides separately
It was turned inside out and ironed neatly
It was set aside and I cut out another piece for the elastic casing measuring 12 x 3"
It was folded in two and sewn together
It was turned inside out while I placed the seam line to the middle and it was neatly ironed
I cut out an elastic band of 1 x 7" which was inserted in the small piece and was sewn together at both ends to secure the elastic band
The two main fabric was placed together as a cross just as seen below
Each was used to cross the other and I have this
The elastic casing was then place on one side at the middle and I folded in both sides on it and it was sewn together
The same process was repeated on the other side as well
Finally, it was turned to the right side and this is the beautiful outcome of my twisted headband.
This will be given to my sister's friend's little daughter and I'm sure she will be so glad to have this.
I hope you like the simplicity, useful and beautiful outcome of this twisted headband I made for my sister's friend's daughter Alice.
