Baby Girl Headband

Making stuff for kids and babies is fun. The projects are less daunting, the materials can be loud and colourful, and since everything is smaller it puts far less stress on my simple sewing machine.

This little headband was made for a sweet baby girl who lives roughly 3400km away. Since I had no means by which to measure her head, I had to rely on rough sizes from online tutorials. I mostly followed this fabric headband tutorial for my measurements. The flower (or yo-yo) was cute and easy to make. I will definitely use it again for future projects.

Luckily the band turned out to be a bit larger than needed, though next time I would add more fabric around the elastic than what the tutorial calls for to allow more stretch. All in all, not too shabby for my first baby headband.
