TUTORIAL: Sew Your Own Twist Headband

When we had lived with the pandemic for a while I became a bit obsessed with head bands because of the inevitable 'lockdown hair'.  I bought quite a few and wore some of them but I do have an impossibly big head that to me is also a strange shape so I struggle a bit to find something that I like and that suits me, most especially while all the shops were shut! 

Having joined the fabulous pre-order group for Clarabelle fabrics I saw a few people making them out of Claire's amazing European fabrics so I watched a few tutorials and had a little play, tweaked it all a bit and then found I loved the results!

Multiple lockdowns later, the timing couldn't have been better and now I have a lovely supply of head-bands in case catastrophe strikes again - it's better to be safe than sorry! 

I have made this video tutorial for you to show you how I have done it - and you can download the FREE patterns for both widths of head band here

By the way, the beautiful fabrics I use in the video came from Clarabellfabrics.com too.  Claire's selection is totally fabulous and she's a valued member of my sewing community Stitch Sewcial as well as running her own pre-order group too.  If you love mostly stretch fabrics in amazing prints and especially if you like making for the small people in your life (though there is plenty here for adults too) I really recommend you check her out.
