Sunday morning I received a very fun email from Erin Tyrell (gosh, she’s the meaning in my life, she’s the inspiration)…she gave me a link to a blog that was explaining how to create a ruffled headband. Me, being the queen of ruffles, had, of course already made one of those HOWEVER I loved the reminder! Seeing as I have on hand about 32 headbands, and seeing as I have on hand a Mount Everest of scrap fabric…I went to work.
Today I created two new ruffled headbands. The orange one is made of Marimekko fabric purchased from Crate & Barrel Outlet. The green and blue one is made from Amy Butler’s Nicey Jane line – and I could have a WHOLE HOUSE decorated in this line, it’s fabulous!!!
Take a line of fabric, sew a tube wrongside out. Flip it to rightside out, close edges. Create a ruffle and hotglue right onto the headband. (For the green one, I added a covered button before I hotglued it onto the headband)
My camera needs recharging, so I’m stuck with just my iphone tonight…sorry for the lame pictures!
Time: about 10 minutes each
Cost: FREE * (since I used scraps and on-hand materials. If you made this “out of the blue”, it would probably cost about $1!)
Goodnight sleepy heads and headbands!

Just when I thought I had EVERY headband, you pop out such a cute one!!! What a great way to use up a little scrap of darling fabric. I can’t wait to make myself one
I wish I lived in Austin, because I would LOVE to take your class as a refresher in proper technique. I make a mean apron, though
Clothing, eh, not so much.
