I never knew that making reversible fabric headbands would be so easy until I gave it a try. I wanted to make something for my niece’s birthday this year, and I knew as a young teenager she would like these. Today I’m sharing the easy tutorial with you along with templates. That’s right, you get to choose if you want to make one for an adult or a child. So grab your thread, friend, and let me know lead you through this!

Reversible Fabric Headbands directions:

Iron and fold fabric over. Place the wide end of the headband template against the folded end of fabric. Trace and cut out fabric. You will need two pieces of coordinating fabric for each headband.

Fold over ends of fabric 1/4 inch and iron flat.

Place fabric right sides in and pin into place. Sew the long sides of the headband together, leaving the short ends open.

Turn fabric right side out and iron flat. Cut a piece of elastic for your headband. I used a 10 inch piece for my adult headbands and 8 inch piece for the child headbands, but you can adjust the size easily by measuring the head for a perfect fit. Slide one end of the elastic 1/2 inch inside one end of headband and stitch across. Tuck the other end of elastic 1/2 inch inside the opposite end (make sure the elastic band doesn’t twist!) and stitch across.

    Thank you for this pattern, and the idea of making the headbands reversible. My granddaughter is an ICU nurse, and they need these desperately (with buttons on the sides) to hold their face masks. I wasn’t sure how to start, but knew I wanted to help. I’ve made a large number of face masks for the hospital, but never tried a headband. I will now!
