Place the front and back fabric right sides together and fold.

Place the pattern with wider end on the fold, trace and cut out.

Open the strips, pin the two fabrics together and sew the sides with 1/4" allowance.

Turn the tube right side out using a safety pin.

Smooth out the seams and press the headband.

Fold the ends inside about 1/4" and press well.

Place the headband on your head and measure the uncovered area to cut the elastic, a little smaller.

Place one end of the elastic into one end of the headband and pin. Repeat for the second end of elastic and headband.

Top stitch the headband with 1/8" allowance, catching the elastic too and doing a reinforcing stitch in the elastic area.
