DIY Headband- Recycling an old shirt.

DIY Headband by recycling an old shirt.

Find an old shirt.

I measured 12 inches from the bottom hem. 

Mark your cut line.

Cut along your line

Nice straight cut complete.

Now cut the "tube" of fabric to make a rectangle.

Trim the edges to square up your piece of fabric.

Fold in half the long way.

And again...

One more time.

This is about 1 3/8 (35mm) wide.

Pin for sewing.

Now we have our sewable piece.

Use a sharp needle.

If you have a walking foot it helps with thick material.

Check your stitches.

Cut the ends so you can bind them with a zigzag stitch.

Bind using a zigzag stitch. 

Fold over each side. Kind of like a knot, but so that both ends attach on the same side.

Pin at the desired length.

Use a back and forth stitch at the corners to attach on each side of the pin.

You can now decorate or embellish however you like.
