Making friends with my sewing machine

I've decided to dip into my stash of beautiful fabrics and start making some cotton stretchy headbands for the Etsy shop.

This is my first attempt - for sale at a discounted price. My sewing can definitely be improved, but the sewn parts are completely hidden anyway when the headband is worn.

There will be lots more printed fabrics available soon, including more Japanese florals, batiks and some contemporary prints from Amy Butler, Heather Bailey and Rosemary Lavin. I'm really excited to get these underway.

Thanks Kristin! I've actually got it down to a pretty streamlined process now. It's fun working with fabric in an instant gratification sort of way. You mean, you don't have to knit (or in your case, weave) it first? And man, there are some great fabrics to be found out there!
