    Fabulous headband!! And I love the raw-edge look. (My lazy sewing self is into anything that looks good AND shaves time off of finishing...)

    I featured your tutorial on Craft Gossip Sewing:

    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.
