Hello hive
Happy Easter celebration to you all on this beautiful day, it is a thing of joy that Christ died and resurrected to redeem us all from our sins, this is worth celebrating and for this, I had to make beautiful outfit for my sister's little daughters, for me, I don't think I really need a new outfit but I tried as much as possible to make the little ones happy around me as I made 2 different outfits for them from my mom's old ASO OKE and the outfit really came out nice. Below are the pictures of the dresses I made for the girls as they celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ today.
After making these beautiful outfit, it didn't occur to me that I needed to make something to cover their head with as make the outfit stylish, even though I had left over from the Aso oke I used but just few days ago, I read a post of a friend on how she used a piece of an Aso oke to make a lovely head band, immediately I read about her post, I thought it would be nice if I could actually make for my nieces for their dresses.
Since I'm making for little children, I don't really need much fabric to use as the size will be smaller compared to the one made for herself.
To make these beautiful head band, using left over Aso oke fabric, I measured out 18" by 10" on fold to make the band itself where the bow will be sewn on.
For the bow, I measured just my desired length with the pieces I have, just to make a bow regardless of how small it is.
For the rope at the back, I measured 7" by 2.5"
Now to the sewing process
First, was to sew the band which I did by folding the band into 2 and I inserted the rope into it after sewing the rope on fold.
The bow was sewn using the pieces I cut out for the bow and it was folded to give me the bow design.
Finally, the bow was placed on the center of the band while I used my hand needle and thread to sew it down to the band.
I made 2 of the head band for the two little girls and it was so beautiful, now they have something to tie on their head to compliment their outfit.
I hope you like the simplicity and beautiful outcome of the head band for the girls.
