Reversible Fabric Headband Sewing Tutorial
On of my personal goals for 2016 is to learn a new creative skill but also get back to some creative skills I seemed to have put on the back burner last year. I definitely put sewing on that back burner. I love to pick and mix fabrics and create something new. I also love to create simple sewing tutorials for you, our readers! I have updated an old DIY favorite with this reversible fabric headband sewing tutorial. You can make this in a girl’s or adult size. The update on this beginner sewing tutorial gives you two headbands in one! This is also a fun project to do with your daughter. My 8-year-old daughter helped me mix the fabrics and make the headbands.
If you are just beginning your sewing adventures, we have a few other perfect beginner sewing tutorials for you:

Love these! They are cute, well done and come with a pattern. Hooray!
I am in the UK can you tell me what fold over elastic is please
Fold over elastic is a stretchy wide elastic typically used in sewing under garments. Lots of shops sell it for hair ties/elastics. See link in post for reference to product that amazon sells.
Any store where I can this elastic in the USA.
I know that JoAnns carries it.
Thanks! I did find it there last week!
I love these! So cute!!
Thanks so much!
I was looking for a project to do with my daughter. The headbands will be a great beginner project. Thanks.
Thanks for offering such a cute, practical, and easy-to-follow tutorial! The pattern link in Step 1 opened and printed perfectly; no sizing adjustments were needed. I plan to make a couple in various stages of completion and send them with your directions and more materials to my soon-to-be eleven-year-old granddaughter’s birthday. I think she’s going to love finishing them and then making some all by herself!
Enjoy!
my niece and I did these headbands and we had a ball. Loved it
Glad you enjoyed the sewing project!
Thanks very much for sharing these!
Thanks for the pattern! I’m using it to create headbands for Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts. A great little homemade addition!
