Re: [BKARTS] Headbands as part of sewing of the book

[Roberta Lavadour <paper@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Gary Frost's blog recently pointed to this website:

...which is an amazing resource for headbands. While it doesn't specifically 
address the idea of sewing them along with the structure, I think the 
illustrations are helpful in seeing how relatively easy it would be to 
extend a simple long stitch to do so.

all the best,
Roberta
