I am so excited to participate in "Give-Away Day" sponsored by Sew, Mama, Sew. The rule was that items offered have to be handmade (or used to make handmade items), so I was wondering...what on earth could I make??Headbands!
That's right, everyone who leaves a comment will be entered to win this set of four headbands made with my wonderful new sewing machine.
I couldn't decide which blue one to include, so you'll just get both. I have been wearing headbands like these ever since I cut my hair short, and I like them a lot. They are all closed with a stretchy hair tie, which is way simpler than sewing in elastic...not that I've ever sewn in elastic.
(Click on either headband photo to enlarge.)
These patterns are pretty cute, with tiny flowers, stars, and hearts. The blue headband with little yellow flowers makes me think of duckies...and Ikea. The darker blue headband is the same fabric as the Boppy slipcover I made for Joshua. (Hi, Jen and Joshua! - feel free to enter if you want a headband to match your slipcover, hehe.)
So if you'd like these, just leave a comment and I'll pick a winner by the weekend. Please make sure to include your e-mail address or blog URL so I have some way to reach you (U.S. entrants only).
(Here's a shot of my little pumpkin and me wearing the paisley headband I made.)
Also...*drumroll please* I'm thinking of opening an Etsy shop, where I'll sell random little stuff like this. People can even choose their own fabric. I have a lot of ideas (though not a lot of time!) and have wanted to open a shop for a while. It might still be a while before I have enough things, but feel free to send your comments or ideas (or extra fabric...hehe) in the meantime.
And if you want some headbands, but don't win the giveaway, you can always commission them from me. ;)
Enjoy!!

Awesome! I was just thinking that I needed some new headbands.
headbands are so useful and yours are pretty too.
Too much hair--need headbands (and I wear a lot of blue and green!)
Terrific idea. I'd love to win. My hair, after years and years of wearing it long, is short (to me) now and I'm always looking for a fashionable way to pull it off my face.

Cute headbands. Thanks for the giveaway.
Oh sure, look at all the comments now! LOL I was totally thinking it would match my Boppy cover. Now, we know that new moms can always use easy haircare, so, I'm in. Congrats on the potential etsy shop. I would totally support you.
Great headbands.
Great headbands - what a wonderful give away!!
Great give-away! Thanks!
Cute idea! Thanks for the giveaway~
I love headbands, thanks for the giveaway!
Oh, you should open an etsy shop! Your headbands would do well,especially with being able to pick out your own fabric!
Headbands are always so nice and handy! Count me in! Your little ones are so cute!

P.S. I am having a giveaway too, if you are interested! ;)
I have a head of hair that could so use those headbands (and twins would be the reason why I DON'T fix my hair too often). Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Hugs & Blessings!
Ooh, I haven't got anything like this for my now-short hair. Good idea! Thanks for sharing your craftiness with blogland :)
Happy holidays.
Love the headbands! You should totally open an etsy shop.
Thank you for taking part in this holiday giveaway~~!
headbands...cute and useful
So cute! I love your headbands! I hope you get good feedback with an etsy shop. Thanks for participating in this give-away; I've enjoyed discovering your site.
my daughter would love those to hold her hair back while going thru the summer pregant...
Those headbands are great! You should definitely open an etsy shop!
I know what you mean about not wanting your babies to grow up. We have a 4yr old, 2yr old and one on the way in a couple of months. I think the one on the way is a result of me getting so sad that my baby was growing up!!!
Those are cute! Thanks for the giveaway fun!
