Sewing pattern: Cat ear headband

Cat costumes are pretty easy to make – even last minute – but you need a good set of cat ears to get the complete look. Jamie from Scattered Thoughts of a Crafty Mom shares a tutorial showing how you can make some, including a free template for cutting those ears. You can sew the whole thing with hand stitches so a sewing machine is not necessary.
