Made: another headband
I actually made this quite awhile ago but realized I never wrote about it. This is actually my 2nd, the first I wrote about here.
Project Notes: The first time I made it, I thought it was too wide and too loose. This was a long time ago, but comparing the 2 headbands, I suspect I either sewed the 2nd with a larger SA, or just cut my pieces down a little.
Mistakes/Complications: I didn’t really make any mistakes per se, although the result was too tight to be comfortable. Comparing the 2 I see the overall length of the 2nd was shorter by almost an inch. I shortened the fabric, and then lengthened the elastic - but not by enough.
Notes for Next Time: The overall length of the first headband, (after I’d adjusted the elastic) ended up being good in terms of comfort. Next time I make it, I need to make sure the overall length of the headband matches the first, a little over 10″, even if I shorten the fabric length and lengthen the elastic.
