Giveaway below!!! Ends sunday nov 29th!!
raw edge headband tutorial-
you will need-
fabric for main headband
contrast fabric for leaves and flower
trim
pdf headband file ( see below)
print out headband shape. tape the two smaller ends together
place wide end of the strip on the folded edge of the fabric. trace with disappearing ink. sew a top stitch 1/4 inch away from raw edge all the way around the headband. trace leaves onto contrasting fabric. iron the leaves where you want them ( if you want you can fuse wonder under to the leaf fabric before you cut them out, or if you are lazy like me just ironing them into place will do.) sew around edge of leaves. now make some rolled roses like so.
if you want to add trim you can. or how about making a couple of flowers in a cluster?
done and done. now you have a cute headband that took you about 10 minutes to make.

That headband is Adorable!!!! I must win it :) Oh, BTW.... my favorite Cure song is Love Song....
I love it!!! I totally am going to try this. Also, I should win because, apparently I live in the Dark Ages and I don't even know any songs by The Cure. Off to google.....

Okay, so I was just at Michael's wearing your headband and a teenage girl totally stopped me and asked to take a picture of it. She and her friend LOVED it! Just thought you'd want to know.
