Head Band bonanza






It seems to be the Summer of hair adornment! There I was in one of those accessory shops and thought why not try making one yourself Betty! I have had a couple of these little pieces of cotton lace shapes for years never really knowing what to use them for. I got them at a car boot. In fact, I must tell you if you want to get some interesting sewing bits and bobs.... here is a tip....car boots and charity shops! They nearly always have some sort of sewing related stuff on stalls and boxes in charity shops...from cottons to old patterns to wool and needles.! So I have them in this sweet tin with some other bits and pieces! You can get really old cottons which are ten times stronger than what you can buy now!

It took only about 20 minutes to complete this headband as you can see it came out quite well and have already had some comments on it! But is it me or do head bands give you a headache!! bar humbug!!
