KNITorious May Sew A Long Day 3

Hey! Let's finish that headband today! Tomorrow we'll finish the socks! HEADBANDS YAY!

Okay, so we have a tube. There's really only one more step so I took a ton of pictures to try to show what I mean as I explain things. I hope it makes sense!
Take one end of your tube

 Fold it in half

 I clip it so that I don't have to hold it forever

Do the same on the other end.

 This is where I took a bunch of pics to hopefully explain it well. Take each folded end and we're going to put them together. Fold your tube in half so you're holding the open raw edges that you just folded together. You have to fold them in to each other. The two folds will over lap each other.

 It's hard to see with the fabric, so imagine my hands are the fabric. We folded each side in half and this is how the fabric should be:

 Once they are folded in to each together, make sure they're even, no edge is folded over further than the others. I prefer to sew vs. serge because i think the edge of the fabric is softer on my forehead.

 Sew the raw folded edge. I use a walking foot because it's like 8 layers of knit, which my sewing machine likes to try to eat. If you're having a hard time, a good tip is to start from the middle. Put your foot in the center of your piece and sew it straight. Then take it out flip it over and sew from the center to the edge on the other side. Your machine shouldn't try to eat it as badly if you start from the middle, its usually that start that messes it up.

 I then trim it straight and Voila! cute turban style headband! Uses less fabric than the loopy turban kind and you can actually see a pattern better on this kind, all the better for KNITorious fabric!

 I hope this all made sense. I just made this based off some of the headbands I love, so I'm obviously not the best pattern writer but I hope you can understand it and make some headbands!
