I would consider this to be a beginner’s pattern because it only requires two stitches, one stitch for the long seam part and another one to create the twist. You could use any sewing machine that has a straight stitch or even use hand stitching to make this headband. As a beginner, I would recommend the Singer Making The Cut sewing machine.

How to Sew a headband

Sewing a headband is one of the easier projects to take on as a beginner. It’s small, and will take you maximum of an hour to complete.

Now when it comes to making a twisted headband, like the one below, there are a few additional steps that you’ll need to follow. The tutorial is straight forward and you’ll be able to sew it in no time!

You will need to pay attention to sizing, you’ll need to measure what would be the best size for the person you are making it for. But here are the estimated measurements below:

For a newborn: Zero to 6 months old.

• Headband length: 12″ – 14″
• Width: 1″ – 2″

For a toddler: 1 to 3 years old.

• Headband length: 16″ – 18″
• Width: 1.5″ – 2.5″

For a young girl: 4 to 10 years old.

• Headband length: 18″ – 20″
• Width: 2″ – 3″

For a woman: One size fits all (typically)

• Headband length: 20″ – 22″
• Width: 2″ – 4″

Materials Needed for the Headband

• Stretchy Fabric
• Draad
• Schaar
• Meetlint
• Singer Making The Cut sewing machine

How to Sew a Headband – Step-By-Step Instructions

1: Cut a 8 inches by 20 inches rectangular shape from your chosen fabric. Use a stretchy fabric.

2: Fold the fabric and sew the long seam. 

3: Turn the fabric and fold it  in half. Make sure that the seam is in the middle part.

4: Now, for the twist, fold the top layer to the back side covering the half of the fabric. 

Then fold the bottom layer to the front side covering the other half. It’s like forming two U’s hugging each other.

5: Sew the raw edges together, turn it and reveal the twist.

All done!
