They're super soft, and don't leave marks like elastic styles. Made from jersey fabric, these are a washable, every-day accessory. - You can buy jersey fabric or re-use a mildly used T-shirt for this project! - Always iron fabric to ensure it lays flat when sewing. - Measure your child's head to adjust the size of the headband. Just add 1.5" to the measured length to leave room for sewing. - For an adult version, I recommend 8"w x 24"l.

Cut two pieces of fabric 6"w x 14"l
Lay the pieces over each other, forming a cross.
Fold each piece in half, lengthwise.
Fold bottom piece in half, width-wise.
Turn the top piece to meet the end, width-wise.
Pull the top piece out, and check the overlap knot.
Fold the top piece back again, width-wise.
Stitch along the ends. Be sure to reinforce the seams by back-stitching.
Flip the entire headband right-side-out. Press the seam so that it lays flat.
Now you can bunch or loosen the headband to adjust the style.
Also, they're easy to customize with embroidery or pins!
