Free sewing pattern: Fabric headband

Create a cute fabric headband in just 15 minutes! Susan at Organized 31 has a tutorial showing how. She created a set of coordinating headbands for her daughter and her college roommates. What a fun way to let your kid know you’re thinking of them! They’re easy to make and all you need is a fat quarter and a bit of elastic. In fact, you can get several headbands out of one fat quarter. Go to Organized 31 for her sewing pattern, and also ideas for other things you can send in a college care package.
