Soft headbands were an idea kicking around my head for a long time - way before I got my sewing machine, and one of the reasons I wanted to get it soooo bad!
I have a sheet of scrap paper with a ton of different color combinations - many military! - even though it's just pen and I labeled the colors haha. I should get out my colored pencils...
I have ideas for ribbons to decorate them with, bows to make clips out of to go on the headbands or to match them, different decorative stitches on my machine I can use...
But I finally got a chance to sew, so I plopped myself down on the floor and went through my giant fabric box, finding patterns and solids that went together. I have a ton more patterns I want to use - like hot pink zebra, and a blue and green stained glass kind-of-looking pattern - but I didn't have good solids for them. So I'll just have to go to the store ;-)
I love this one, so I decided to keep it for myself :)
Actually, it was going to be mine anyway. I have the sewing notions fabric in black, red, and pale yellow, all scraps, and I was originally going to make it in red until I realized the scraps weren't the right shape, so I did it in black, which I actually like a lot better.
The satin one I really like, too.
I feel like it makes it a bit fancier so maybe it could be worn with a dress up outfit :)
The fish one I made with the scraps from a bag that I made my cousin for Christmas, and the other side is the lining fabric from it - I think I might have used the same thread too! I want to make some in camo too, like Mossy Oak camo :)
Check out the rest of them in the Hair Accessories album on Facebook! They're already listed for sale on the website :)
