Mad Men Headbands

With Mad Men all the rage, a BurdaStyle member whipped up this Mad Men headband pattern to share. I typically don't wear headbands, but I was beginning to worry about having nothing to wear for Me-Made-May!

I'm surprised how much I enjoy them, actually. I've been wearing them quite a bit since I made them a few days ago; they're perfect now that I'm growing my hair out and to keep wisps off my face during the coming California heat. I had a mild obsession with making Amy Butler swing bags and this was a wonderful way to use up scraps from those projects. The bottom line? Totally cute, totally easy (as in 15-minutes or less easy), no new fabric required and you can make them reversible!

I just had to model a few. I love the yellow contrast against my dark hair.



And here's a blue linen.



I've got a number of things in queue, but these mini-projects are feeding the productivity whore who lives inside of me. It makes me feel like I'm a busy bee. A few other seemingly quick-cute-and-easy projects I've got my eye on: verypurpleperson's gathered dress tutorial, Weiner Dog Tricks' Super Simple Nightie (via Sew Mama Sew), and the Spring Ruffle Top (also via Sew Mama Sew).
