 Sew your embroidered headbandWant to create a unique and personalized accessory?
With our embroidery bands or the Easy Custo collection, you can easily make beautiful embroidered headbands… or even a charming belt!
Our step-by-step tutorial guides you through sewing your headband quickly, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced.
Before you start, complete your embroidery and don’t forget to wash your fabric: let it soak in lukewarm water for 30 minutes or simply run it through the washing machine — and your project will be ready to sew!
Supplies 1 size M embroidery band
2 fabric squares measuring 17 x 17 cm (we suggest using Métis bis to match the tones)
OR
1 fabric strip measuring 17 x 91 cm
 In the diagrams of this tutorial, here’s how to tell the right side from the wrong side of the fabric! 1  Cut two squares measuring 17 x 17 cm. Sew each square to one end of your embroidered band, right sides together.  Press the seams flat with an iron. 2
 Fold the entire strip in half lengthwise, right sides together. 3  On both ends, draw a harmonious shape.
Tip: a point, a curve, an angle... Let your creativity shine!
 4  Sew along the sides and ends, 1 cm from the edge, leaving an opening of about 10 cm to turn the piece right side out. 5
Trim the excess seam allowance all around, then turn the headband right side out. Hand-stitch the opening closed with an invisible stitch for a neat finish.  And there you have it—your embroidered headband is ready to wear!

Use this tutorial to sew a belt! Use the same technique as for the headband to enlarge your size M embroidery strip and turn it into a beautiful personalized belt!  Adjusting the length of your belt:
Start by measuring your waist, then add 60 cm to get a comfortable belt that can be tied.
Next, cut a fabric strip 17 cm wide by the length you calculated.
All that’s left is to follow the previous steps to sew your personalized belt!
