Sewn Headband

[sharmelon.livejournal.com]

I made this headband out of some black&white floral quilting fabric. I only bought half a yard (@ $1.98/yd) since I only had this small project in mind. It was the closest thing I could find to match my black&white floral dress, which I'm wearing to my cousin's wedding this Saturday. The fabric has been sewn to about 1.25"x16" and I made it following the instructions for the ribbon headbands in Leah Kramer's Craftster book; there is a button attached to one end and elastic thread on the other.

My hair is in curls and styled like Carrie Bradshaw's in Episode 75 (Season 6) of "Sex and the City". Just some bobbypins to keep my hair out of the way. Photos of Carrie here and here.
