Fleece Headband Pattern Ear Warmer tutorial
1 – Cut out Pattern
Print up the pattern (you can get assembly instructions here)
Cut out pattern piece.
Optional – on one end of the band iron a scrap of fusible interfacing to reinforce where you will put your button or button-like hole. See flapper headband slim pattern for picture.
Turn edges under a half inch. Using a .25 seam and straight stitch around the band.
2 – Add button and button (like) hole
At one end of the headband and using the button as a guide mark the top and bottom of the button. Move one dot a third closer ( the fleece will really stretch since we haven’t reinforced it and we’re not making a button hole).
Draw a straight line between the dots (this will help you make a neater box).
I am feeling lazy so I’m not doing a button hole today. Just make a small box using your guides with a zigzag stitch. Snip a slit in your box. Sew the button to the other side of the headband and your done!
3 – If you want to add a flower
I like to make the flowers removable so you can wash the headband (make build up). Sew a small triangle (like you did for the button only much smaller – see my thumb?). And Cut a slit. Now your flower can slide perfectly into place!

I just made this about an hour ago – doubled the fabric (sewing it right sides together) so there were no visible seams, and it would be a little warmer for my aunt in New England. I absolutely LOVE it! Thank-you for the idea – it’s wonderful!

I was wondering what type of fleece you used anti-pill or blizzard fleece and what are the differences?? Thanks so much!
Angel Hickman Peterson says
I have used both. Both have an upside and downside. Blizzard tends to be cheaper, but can “Pill” ( get faded or rough looking). anti pill costs more and (in theory) not pill. It’s really a mantter of preferences ( and pocket money). Both work great with this pattern.
