Headband - Headbang
My hair's been growing out, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, this also means that my bangs are constantly in my eyes and everything else either sticks straight up or straight out. So I've looked better, is what I'm saying.
I knitted a couple of headbands based on a simple pattern my friend Christy gave me, which my hair instantly rejected. Literally. They just fell out of my mighty mane like they were leaves, and I was left with flyaways.
So tonight, I'm on a mission. I've got lots of fabric, elastic, and the will to keep my hair out of my eyes. I'm going to sew the handbandiest headband that ever go-go'd into my life. There will be blood, and sweat - and possibly tears - and when I'm done, I'm going to pull my hair back and be so grateful that I have a sewing machine and the will to figure things out.
My hair will thank me.

Here's a great pattern:

You can run a bead of puffy paint down the inside. Once dry, it adds a bit of "grab," so they don't slip out of the hair as easily.

any headbands (including my knitted ones) other than the perfect ones sewn by craftysassi fall out of my hair if I don't hold them in with bobby pins or wee clips or whatever. sad.
