So easy and such lovely fabric!
Thank you! 😊. I hope you try it.
What an easy-to-understand tutorial! As a beginner sewer, I am so appreciative of your detailed directions-thank you!
Thank you😊
I’ve been watching so many videos on how to make these and this video is by far the best I’ve seen. So clear and easy to follow. Also, the end result was the neatest and this is the only video where they create the inside casing for the wire. I love it!!! Thank you!!! Just brilliant!
You are so welcome! it is so much nicer without the wire just loose inside, Please have a look at some of the other tutorials on my channel. Cheers!
Love this method! So easy and fast, thank u for superb video 👌

Just found your tutorials ! Can’t wait to try some of these out. Thnx
Glad you like them!
Wonderful tutorial…thank you! The instructions to create the channel for the wire by sewing the folded side was ingenious! I’ve made a few of these headbands in the past using other tutorials but never once was it suggested to create an invisible channel this way🙏🏽
Thank you. The thought of a wire just loosely inside did not sit will with me…..😊. Thanks for watching.🙏
Thank you! Can’t wait to make these.
Have fun!

Great! They look great in all kinds of fabrics. Have a look at my video to make them from jelly rolls. Cheers!
Watched the jelly roll video last night. Also cute. I could just use the sewing instructions for that pattern but the cut sizes of this one to make the wider, retro size!
Amazing, definitely going to do this. Thank you 👏

عالی مثل همیشه ,تمیز وجالب👏👏👏😘😘😘👍
باز هم از تماشای شما متشکرم امیدوارم امتحانش کنید😊
Super cute!! Is this best with plain cotton or could I use a bit heavier fabric, such as fabric for making handbags? Ty! 💕💕
A bit heavier fabric is fine. it may just take a bit more effort to pull right side out. Thanks for watching 😊
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for watching😊
Angela, I love your pattern, thank you. I’ve made a couple. Is there a trick to prevent the wire from easing away from the ends? Hope that makes sense. I like the wite to be at the tips because the way I wear it I like it to look like a bow and if the wire pulls away from the tips it’s harder to shape the bow. TY❤
Could be that your fabric stretches a bit so just cut your wire a couple inches longer than you need, test it before closing the opening.
sewing shut the small hole u fed the wire through might help
Beautiful! I love this headband. However, is it washable with the wire in it? Thank you or this video. .
I am assuming that it is not washable, because of the wire.
you can handwash and drip dry
Thanks! Could you say a bit about what kind of fabric to use? I choose poorly and my headband was too rigid and scratchy.
Thank you so much Kat🙏
does other gauges work well, 19 g is hard for me to find. trying to make a huge amt of these.
Sure you just want it strong enough to hold shape but not too thick that it’s difficult to bend.
When you tie that on your head, does the wire keep it from being tight?
The beauty of of it is you twist until comfortable
Well, I did a dumb thing. I went to Joann’s and bought some Halloween fabric to make these, and I didn’t realize how long 40 inches was! 🤦🏻♀️🙄😂 (I am a beginner sewer)… I only got 1 yard each of the fabric I want to use. Will these still turn out okay if I make them slightly smaller? Like instead of 40 inches, can I get away with doing 36? Ugh I’m so mad at myself. I hate when I learn lessons like this! Thanks for the wonderful tutorial. I can’t wait to get started on this even tho I may have to end up giving it to some kids!!! 😂🤦🏻♀️
You absolutely can make it slightly shorter. I cut the long length along the crosswise grain of the fabric. How wide is your fabric?
How could I make this using a different color fabric on the other side?
Yes please use method from my other video. Happy Sewing! czcams.com/video/XqUTCg9vz0A/video.html
What dimensions would you use to make a child size?
You can cut 5” x 38”. You really need to experiment a bit depending on age of child and look you are after. Maybe just make one for yourself and then decide how much shorter and narrower you need it. Cheers
@@NotchesSewing thank you. I appreciate the advice
What size should i cut for children?
Just cut a couple inches shorter
What is the fabric called that you are using please?
I used quilting cotton
What kind o fabric for this?
Cotton was used in the tutorial but you can use any fabric that isn’t too heavy.
