Recycled Sweater - Headband

This recycled sewing project shows you how to sew a headband out of a sweater piece.

2.  Hem the edges by folding the edges of the sweater piece over about 1/2” and sewing down.

3. Sew 3 buttons onto 1 side of your sweater. Sew them on the top, with the hemmed edges on the backside.

4. Fold the opposite end of your sweater over overlapping the buttons, and using a light colored marker, mark where the buttons are.

5. Snip button holes the size of you 3 buttons.

6. Wrap around your head and button up.
