How To Make A Winter Headband for Women
The first step in how to make a winter headband for women is to cut a 23” ½ x 6” piece of fabric from both the fleece and the sherpa. You can adjust this size to better fit your own head if need. We found that this basic size works for most. If you don’t want the headband to be as wide as the one we have made, you can cut your fabric to something more like 23” ½ x 4” ½.
Lay the sherpa down with the sherpa side up. Then lay the fleece right side down on the sherpa.
Make sure the edges are lined up then pin them in place down both of the long edges.
Time to sew! Sew all the way down both of the pinned sides using a ¼” seam. Be sure to remove pins as you go.
Reach your arm through and grab the other end and pull it through to turn it right side out. I love when this step is super easy! We are about halfway through this how to make a winter headband for women tutorial!
Take one end of the winter headband and fold it inside itself by a ½” inch.
Tuck the other end just inside of that fold.
Sew them together, keeping the foot lined with the edge of the fold. It is the easiest to see it from the fleece side and not the sherpa side. Make sure you do a backstitch at the start and end. Trim off any strings and you are done!
