Headband T-shirt

What you will need:
  • an old t-shirt, cotton or jersey
  • hot glue or needle and thread
  • scissors
  • button and thread

Now cut your t-shirt into strips, as thick as possible (you will see this later). I had the grid to follow so I didn't have to measure, but even if they are different thicknesses, it doesn't matter.

If your t-shirt doesn't have side seams, that's even better. Mine had seams on the sides, but that's okay you can hide them. Now take your strips and stretch them, you'll see how long they get. Note: it will most likely roll on the wrong side so make sure your t-shirt is a little nice inside as well.

The strips will still be joined by the other seam. Here is the principle of loops:

Important step! Measure your head. The t-shirts will stretch so be sure to get it snug

To bind the set, you will need either to glue them for those who have two left for a neater finish. Take a strip, fold and glue the edges. Or use the needle carefully to hold the strip securely.

Glue the two ends together.

Your finished back should look like this. You can paste a button like this..

                            Hemming is a stitch that can make a big difference. This delicate stitch can only be done by hand, the aim being that the stitches are not visible right side up. it's just a helping hand and you won't be able to do without it! The hand hemming is totally invisible on the outside, and can even be on both sides if you master the technique well. Obviously, it gives a nice fall to your outfits, much more flexible than the so rigid machine hem.

Fold the fabric back on itself, secure the folded value with a few pins.                                                                         Hold the
