:: I had leftovers of mustard yellow wool felt & gray fleece from the Abby Jacket I sewed, so I decided to make a matching flower headband
:: I had this mustard yellow elastic (approximately 16 inches) I think it came from a box of chocolates ? not sure... the gray button was from my stash
:: to make one...
:: cut out circles in various sizes, I used some circle paper punches for a few, none of the circles are perfect, I made 4 circles from the mustard yellow wool felt & 1 from the gray fleece
:: snip into each circle all around (something similar to a fringe) to add some texture, then stack up the circles & place a coordinating button on top
:: zig-zag the ends of the elastic together, twice
:: take some coordinating embroidery floss & sew the flower onto the elastic (if you want you can sew it over the spot where you zig-zag stitched the elastic together that way the zig-zag stitch won't show giving it a more polished look)
:: voila, you're done... you don't need to worry about fraying since wool felt & fleece don't fray :)
:: making a headband like this was so simple, I don't know why I hadn't made one before, but will keep this in mind when I have leftovers from future sewing projects
:: next on the list for kids clothes week ? flannel pajama pants...
