Burda Style For people who sew
Description
I found a beautiful necktie in a thriftstore – nice pattern and colours that suit perfectly my style and clothes. I couldn’t resist it and decided to make a headband from it. When I ripped off the seams (which was quite easy, BTW), I realised the “wrong” side was very nice, too – so I made a reversible headband from it. The “wrong” side is the lighter one. The “right” side looks a bit more bright than in reality on the bottom photo, but otherwise you can get good idea of what it looks like. There’s elastic in it under my hair.

Not sure yet… No hurry to figure out. I have other projects in mind now.

And I still have something left, but not enough length for another headband, so it’s going to be something else.
