Heather Bailey Hooray for Headbands

As you probably know I am a big fan of Heather Bailey. She has great fabrics and patterns. I love her "Hooray for Headbands" pattern that she has on her blog. It is a printable pattern available for personal use only. One of the really great things about this pattern is that she has different sizes available. I absolutely love the baby size. I like to use soft flannel for the headband. It seems to stay in place quite nicely. I omitted the recommended elastic-I just found it easier to work with. I also added some contrasting top stitching and a few fabric flowers for detail. Check out her blog and try it yourself. There are some great images out there on flickr if you want some more inspiration.

Oh how I love headbands!  I just haven't had much energy since I had my son (who is now almost 20 months old) to spend the time doing my hair.  My hair is probably up in a pony tail at least part of every day.  So thank you Heather Bailey for another great pattern, and Hooray for you "Hooray for Headband" pattern-thanks!

Heather Bailey's Bitty Booties

Heather Bailey has an amazing talent for pattern and fabric making. I love to check out all of her creations. She has a free pattern on her blog that I absolutely love. It is for Bitty Booties. they are so cute. Her pattern is free for download, but you cannot sell items made from the pattern or reproduce the pattern.

The pattern is super simple, and there are oodles of images for inspiration. You should hop on over and take a look at her blog. She also sells patterns, fabric, and other items at her store. I am dying to try out her new line of laminate fabrics. So cute.

I made these cute little booties by adding ribbon, a rose shaped button, and some super soft flannel for the insole. I think that they are precious. If only I had a little girl to put them on.
