I am so excited to bring this tutorial to you today!
I am officially closing my etsy store.
Kinda sad, but good for you, because all my patterns in it are now FREE. : )
I enjoy blogging much more than running my etsy shop and something just had to go, I figure this is a win win for everyone right?
Vintage Inspired Baby Headband Tutorial
This was my very first pattern to ever make, so it’s kind of special to me! : )
I have to give a HUGE shout out to Traci Ryant for all these beautiful babies, she is my all time favorite newborn photographer!
Not to mention super sweet and pretty much just plain AWESOME! So make sure and stop by her page for some beautiful inspiration!
This pattern is not difficult to make at all! There is a little hand sewing, but it’s not hard, I promise ; )
Plus I give you step by step pictures of the entire process in making this headband! Anyone can do it!
In the pattern a list of supplies is provided for you as well as how to make this in each size!
I have to say, I kinda want another girl looking at all these pictures! They are oh so fun to play dress up with!
Just to give you a little idea of what else you can do with this pattern, here is a custom order I made for a flower girl in pink and grey.
I know I know, it’s way more gorgeous on a cute little newborn head, but at least you can see a close up right? Sadly my daughter would never wear headbands once she figured out where her hands were. So I just got to make them for other little girls who would!
So now that the parade of beautiful babies is over, are you ready to make one? I have it in a google document since this one is kind of a long pattern with lots of pictures!

Thanks so much Jamie! So glad to have you here : )
What a nice thing to offer your readers! I wish I had a little one to make these for.
This is so beautiful! My little girl’s first birthday photo shoot is coming up and I might just have to make one of these to go with her ruffle romper for her cake smash photos. Thanks for sharing.
I’d be tickled if you’d link up at this week’s Off the Hook!

For some reason I can’t view the pdf file? Can you send it to me or somehow redirect me to how it will open? It only opens to a blank white screen.
so where is your etsy page? and what patterns are free?
Thank you for sharing your pattern! My sister, sister-in-law and cousin are all expecting baby girls within the next couple of months and I can’t wait to make one for them!
cuuute ^_^

I live in Caiazzo, Italia and my work in fact deals with this area.
Actually doing what you like and writing about it in such a quality way is a great gift.
Your writing is informative, illuminating, and passion-driven,
all of which I profoundly respect when dealing with this
topic.

I do not know if it’s just me or if everybody else encountering issues with your site. It seems like some of the text within your posts are running off the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This may be a problem with my internet browser because I’ve had this happen before.
Thanks
