I managed to sew up a couple of Foofanagle's headbands this week; last week's Throwback project. The tutorial was great. Easy to follow, thorough, no steps left me scratching my head.

 
They went together surprisingly quickly, and they weren't nearly as difficult to turn right side out as I feared. I was pretty worried about that part, because the turning is usually my least favorite part of any project. Luckily these went well--the safety pin tip in the tutorial was very helpful.

 
This was the first one I made, and I forgot to topstitch it. I'm okay with that, though. I like how forgiving the project is. So this one came first, and I sort of breezed through a couple of steps. Like, I forget the interfacing, so it doesn't stand up as nicely as some of the others. Luckily, once it's on the head, it looks fine. 

Incidentally, you won't be winning this particular headband, as it was immediately snatched up by my model.  In fact, I had to promise I'd return it to her bedpost tonight so it is there when she wakes up in the morning. So demanding, these models.

 
And the last one I made.

Much sturdier, because I remembered the interfacing.  Well, sort of. I started cutting and realized I didn't have any interfacing on hand. So, I turned to the trusty trick I learned from Bend the Rules Sewing, and used some cotton flannel as interfacing. It worked fine, and I love how this turned out! This fabric is some that I bought from Hobby Lobby a few weeks ago, presumably to make a purse. Mostly I bought it because I loved it.

Accordingly, it will be tough to give this one away, because someday it will match a purse that I might make.  Nevertheless, one lucky blog reader will win this headband (or a similar one) next Wednesday.  All you have to do is leave a comment on the blog between now and next Wednesday.
