First cut the necessary ones from the dotted Fabric cuts fabric and trim the edges with zigzag stitch. Fold all the blanks right sides together and fix them with a few topstitches Needles.
Important: The blank for the elastic band is sewn with zigzag stitch, all others with straight stitch. When adjusting the zigzag stitch, make sure that it does not become too wide - the tube for the elastic should be 1.5 cm wide so that the 1.2 cm wide elastic can be threaded through later
Then turn all the pieces (in the case of the narrow pieces, you may use a rounded stick or pencil) and place them so that the seam is in the middle of the back. Iron all parts once to fix them in place
Fold the cut piece for the bow left on left into a loop, so that the beautiful side without seam faces outwards, and topstitch the open edge with 1 cm seam allowance. Then shorten the seam allowance to a few millimetres and fold the loop in the middle. Fix the whole thing with a few stitches with needle and thread
Place the bow slightly off-center at an angle and sew Ribbon it to the hair band with a few stitches. Fold the cut for the ring right sides together so that the seam is facing outwards and topstitch the open edge with 1 cm seam allowance. Then shorten the seam allowance and turn the ring so that the seam is on the inside. Carefully slide the ring over the loop and align it neatly so that the seam on the back is exactly on the seam of the hairband
Now pick up the cut for the elastic band. Attach one Safety pin to one end of the rubber braid and push the rubber into the tube until the end of the rubber braid meets the end of the tube. Sew the rubber on by sewing back and forth over it once. Now push Safety pin the rubber to the other end of the hose, remove the needle and sew back and forth over the end of the elastic once again
Now lay the hair band with the right side of the fabric and the bow facing upwards in front of you. Place the right end of the rubber band with the seam facing upwards in the middle of the right edge. Fold the part of the hairband that protrudes above and below over the elastic and topstitch with 1.2 cm seam allowance. Then shorten the seam allowance to a few millimetres. Sew on the left side of the elastic in the same way. Then turn the hairband so that the seam allowance disappears in the protruding fabric of the hairband
