The Frame Headband Sewing Pattern is a modern, beginner-friendly accessory pattern inspired by the clean, mod silhouettes of the early 1960s. Featuring a gently padded, structured design, this headband frames the face beautifully while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear.
Designed with an elasticated back, the finished headband offers flexibility and ease without compromising its refined shape. Quick to construct and thoughtfully designed as a scrap-busting sewing project, this pattern is ideal for confident beginners and experienced sewists alike. Once made, it’s a versatile accessory you’ll want to recreate in multiple fabrics to complement your self-made wardrobe.
Beginner friendly
This sewing pattern is suitable for beginners and those looking to build confidence with accessory sewing. Clear, step-by-step instructions guide you through each stage of construction, with no specialist equipment required.
This pattern introduces a small range of essential sewing techniques, including:
Bagging out
Elastic casing
Hand stitching (running stitch, whip stitch, and ladder stitch)
These techniques are clearly explained and supported by a detailed video tutorial.
This design is best suited to medium to heavy-weight woven fabrics, which help maintain the structured silhouette of the headband. Lighter-weight fabrics can also be used with the addition of fusible interfacing and/or a backing fabric.
Recommended heavier-weight fabrics:
Corduroy
Denim
Canvas and twill weaves
Suiting
Jacquard
Brocade
Recommended lighter-weight fabrics (with interfacing or backing):
