For today's quick sew, I picked the Faux Knot Headband from I'll Show You Mine. This is my go-to headband - I love how it stays put, has a cute knot detail or can be worn with the wide side out, and is super fast to make. The knot helps save some intricate tube-turning and means you don't need to topstitch at the end!

All you need to sew up one of these headbands is:
fabric cutting tools - I use a rotary mat, hard ruler and rotary cutter
a quarter yard of knit fabric - jersey moss and lightweight ABP are my favorites, but anything with good stretch and recovery (and not too much compression!) will work well
sewing machine or serger - I usually use both, but you can easily do the entire thing using a stretch stitch on a sewing machine or just using a serger
Let's get started! I made a video to show a few of the trickier steps, which go very quickly the more you make.
