Jersey Flower Headbands

My oldest daughter Kaylee has long, fine hair. It won't even stay up in a ponytail, and it constantly falls in her face. So, I decided to make a headband out of some of my leftover jersey fabric.

I measured the circumference of Kaylee's head - 19 inches. I then cut a piece of jersey that was 17 inches long and 2.5 inches wide. I put the raw edges together, and using my sewing machine I sewed a stretch stitch down the side. I then turned the fabric inside out, so the seam would be inside. Next, I folded the fabric in-half with the non-seam-side touching, and then I sewed the two open bottom pieces together. Now this way of sewing the fabric into a circle works, but it isn't the cleanest looking. I still have to make Aricka's, so I am going to try something different.

I then used three pieces of a fake flower I had left over from a previous project and sewed them onto the headband - I only went through the top layer of material. I wanted to put a big pink button in the center of the flower, but Miss Kaylee insisted on a bow. She was right; the end product is adorable!
