Retro Inspired Headband

Whip up a retro-inspired headband in under an hour to match your favourite outfit!

Requirements List:

1. A rectangle of cotton fabric measuring 80cm x 15cm
2. Gauge wire 90cm
3. Pliers
4. Co-ordindating thread
5. Iron-on Interfacing 80cm x 7.5cm

Cutting:

• Measure and cut cotton to 80cm x 15cm
• Cut interfacing 80cm x 7.5cm rectangle

Construction:

1. Iron interfacing to half to one side of the cotton rectangle.

2. Fold rectangle in half lengthwise, right sides together. Round your corners and trim. I used a small dinner plate to create the curve.

3. Sew around your shape, leaving a 5cm opening to turn out.
4. Trim the excess fabric of the seam allowance and clip corners. Turn out.
5. Create a loop on both ends of your gauge wire, using the pliers. Your finished wire piece should be the same size as your fabric piece.

6. Insert the wire into your headband and close the opening with a slip-stitch.

Congratulations on finishing your retro headband!
