It’s easy, all you need is: Scissors,
needle & thread (or sewing machine), a cute stretch tee you no longer need or
a
cute pair of stockings,pins and 15 mins.
First pick the tee or stockings that you
want to refashion.
NOTE: If you go with using a tee, stretch
it to find out which direction it stretches more. (top to bottom or side to side)
You will
need to cut your rectangle so that it stretches
more end to end then side to side.
Step 2. Cut a big rectangle out of your
tee and then cut it in half.
You should now have two long strips! (see
pics).
Step 3. Fold your strip onto itself and
put the ends together forming a loop. You can either hand sew them together or
run it through the sewing machine. Trim off the messy end.
Step 4. Take your second strip, fold it
onto itself like the first and then thread it through your new loop. Sew the
ends together just like the first loop.
Step 5. Take the sewn ends of both loops and sew them
together.
From here, fold your new seam over to give
your headband a nice flat finish at the back.
Whoolah!, you
have your very own Vintage Headband.
PS If you are using stockings, simply cut off the top part so all you have left is two legs and follow instructions from Step 3 .
NOTE( you don’t need to fold your stocking leg onto itself though).
God Bless,
