4. Try adding extra sweater style stretch to make it a belt!

You Will Need (2 things)

  • 18" Piece - Sweater Style Stretch Trim - Navy
  • 1 Piece - Onion Rose Pin Brooch w/Leaves - Purple

Steps (9 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your materials.

  2. 2

    Thread your needle with corresponding color thread (black or navy will do in this case).

  3. 3

    Cut one 18" piece of sweater-style stretch trim.

  4. 4

    Fold sweater-style stretch trim to form the shape of a headband, connecting the ends. Check the width against your head to be sure the length fits comfortably.

  5. 5

    Once you find your desired fit, lay one edge of the trim over the opposite end's edge to prepare for sewing - it's very basic, don't get nervous!

  6. 6

    Stitch through the band with a basic running stitch (straight stitch, pushing the needle through all layers from the top and bottom) or blanket stitch (box-like stitch that secures the trim edge), catching the two ends securely together.

  7. 7

    When you've stitched everything in place, knot off your thread and clip any excess away. Give it a test-run to be sure the stitches will hold up against repeated wearing (stretch it out with your hands a few times).

  8. 8

    Pin your flower over the closure area, concealing your stitches (so if your sewing isn't gorgeous, no one will know).

  9. 9

    Put it on and work it!
