DIY Twisted Head Band Tutorial Sew to Sell Stretch fabric for Beginners. Tube turning hack included

[@sharonwilson8208]

I've seen these before, but never like this. This is fantastic. I sell scrunchies and some bows now and again, but avoided this. I tried with other videos and they wouldn't stay in on my head, and the fiddling around to hide seams was insane. This is so simple. I could repurpose a shirt I no longer wear, or from the local thrift shops. Thanks again Christine 😊❤

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

That sounds like a great idea Sharon😁

[@craftyowlcreations3185]

Thanks again Christine. So funny this tutorial popped up just as I was sitting down to sew some. Love using my overlocker but don't feel as though I am getting the most out of it so any over locker hints tips or projects would be great. Not new to sewing but new to the scary over locker. Have a lovely weekend. 😁

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Haha, I do love a good scary overlocker. I'll try to think up some more projects soon😀😁

[@christinejolly7139]

Morning Christine. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your tutorials. I love the way you teach. The pace is particularly good. Often I only have to watch once or twice to complete a project. And I am always delighted with the results. You are my new hero! It’s wonderful to hear an Aussie voice too!! Ps just a tip for you: making the Mini Tissue Holders, I cut an extra 6” x4”; so I have 4. 2 for the folded sides, and 2 for either side of a very very light iron on wadding. This does 3 things. It gives the pouch a bit of stability in its base AND i cannot make a mistake which side is the inside or outside😂, and the inside looks as good as the outside for when the customer changes the tissue pack. Probably a bit of over kill on my part, but I was using light fabric that needed the extra stability. All kindness & grateful thanks to you. Christine WA.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

It's a great tip Christine, and certainly worth doing. Where I usually like my insides as neat as outsides, I figured not many people were likely to notice the inside as it's so small, and they just pop a new bag in. As long as I keep it all neat inside it's a good time saver for selling🙂🙂

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

I have been hunting for terry cloth sweat bands made like the ones sold during the 1970's and 1980's. I need some for when I am working outside mowing, gardening, potting, and just walking when it is hot (to keep sweat out of my eyes, to keep sweat from running down the back of my neck, and to keep bugs from trying to get in my ears. The ones that are being sold today are not large enough to cover as much of the head as the old terry cloth sweat bands designed for women did. Thank you for this video.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Great idea Arvetta. I came upon some vintage terry a few weeks ago. Still looking for the right project for it 😀

Love your tutorial. I've wanted to make headbands but never have any stretchy material. I need to look for some in the charity shops (old/nice clothing) 😁

You can even use your old Tshirts and stretch tops that you no longer wear Lesley 😀

[@lesleygilbert1945]

@@ChristinesHomeAffairs I don't wear t-shirts any more. I normally only sew with cotton fabrics. I've been gifted 'stretchy' in the past but passed it on as I always forget what I need it for haha 😁

[@alicemuriel2777]

Superb ❤❤,....can we make such bands using . cotton or silk fabrics with elastic bands ..

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Alice. I'm sure you could make them in cottons, though you'd need to use extra fabric to allow for the stretch😀

[@michelleraisner8686]

Thank you so much for the video! Great tip about the turning. One question, when you sew a big piece and cut them to size, won’t the stitches come out? Or not to worry because you are closing up the ends anyway. I have a few domestic machines but no over locker-yet… lol. As always a great video with awesome instructions and clarity. I look forward to your next videos!!! (Truth be told when one pops up in my notifications, I get excited and have to watch it right away. I’m getting myself a lil crazy with all the things you have made, that I wanna make. One day the sewing/craft room will be done to actually have space, and to find things easier.)

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Thanks Michelle. As you're still closing the end, it won't unravel the previous cut ends providing you sew over them.... I rearrange my sewing spaces almost monthly, and still can't find anything 🤔 Perhaps that's my problem 😆

[@michelleraisner8686]

My mother had fallen in December and shattered her shoulder, shattered her elbow, fractured her pelvis and had to move in with us to recuperate. I had to clean out my whole room and pack things away to so she could be comfortable while therapy and resting. She is finally strong enough and confident enough to be able to go home soon. So once I know she is ok at home, I will start to unpack and set up.

[@IAmFrankieKnight]

They are so useful! I have a bit of an issue with my last seam, my overlocker seems to stretch the seam. If anyone has any advice I'd really appreciate it. I've been waiting to figure it out before making them to sell. Thanks so much for your generosity and detailed explanations.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

France, if you can adjust the differential feed on your overlocker that will help. Not all have that feature though😀

[@IAmFrankieKnight]

@@ChristinesHomeAffairs thank you! it's on the lowest setting, but maybe I need to play a bit and test with many layers of fabric rather than just two, thanks for helping me think!!

[@christinelefevre9381]

Hi Christine, I have just recently come across your channel find you very interesting. I have a very old Singer sewing machine that used to be my mum's from the 60s/70th she was always making clothes on it and it still works. could I use sharing elastic to make the twisted headbands, and make the stitching a little bit bigger. Thank you for your sharing your tutorials, tips & tricks. :-)

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I think that's a great idea Christine. I haven't done it yet, but it's been added to my list. I don't see why it wouldn't work 😀

[@IMOO1896]

I kept wondering when you would twist 2 lengths of fabric the make to front loop twist. Very interesting.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

Haha, I got there in the end 😄

[@Thecrazyisstrong]

The head wrap looks great on you Christine! The strips are 6.5 in x 20 in for an average adult head. Do you have measurement suggestions for children?

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I haven't done any for kids Robin. I believe a few other videos have varied head measurements though 😊

[@tracysayers5833]

I like this tutorial. I have a serger and don't know how to use it. Going to try it with this one! Would it be possible to make it with fleece instead of a knit??

I'm way older than you. I use these to hold my hair when scrubing my face, when cooking, working in my yard, etc.

[@jirup]

I'm a few months younger than Christine, but a lot greyer and I happily wear a head wrap to keep my long hair out of my face. I think my long curly hair looks best when controlled by something, otherwise it can be a bit 'crazy cat lady' from the Simpsons.

[@ChristinesHomeAffairs]

I saw myself in the mirror and thought, nah, best I don't wear them, but that was just me being vain. It's perfect for cooking, washing etc Peggy. I've been converted 🤣
