This is the next project I'm going to take on, right here. When I saw Kathy of Pink Chalk Studio's take on these headbands, with their unmatched but totally perfect combinations of fabric, it reminded me of nothing more than my five-year-old's patient explanation of how "see, Mama, the red shirt has a little purple on the butterfly here, so I've got a blue skirt with a purple flower, and then my shoes are silver to match my barrette and my socks have green stripes because the purple flower on the skirt has green leaves. THAT'S matching". Why not encourage that kind of creative thinking with headbands like this?

The full tutorial is here, and do you really need a rotary cutter to make these? I'll find out soon enough, 'cause I'm a scissors girl. And I'm off to pick through my scrap basket, and to sort through the too-stained-to-give-away clothes and pick out the coolest fabrics.
