I am very excited to announce the launch of the Sally Headband pattern!
The Sally Headband is a quick and easy sew and is great for using up the small scraps of cute fabric you didn’t have the heart to throw away!
She comes in two styles- knotted or gathered and with options for either an elastic band or ties (I wanted to make sure you would be able to make her, even if you did just run out of your last bit of elastic! )
Inspired by my favorite poem “Sally” by Phoebe Hesketh, The Sally Headband is simple, sweet and scrappy, and can add shine to any outfit!
You can download the Sally Headband PDF pattern for free by clicking here!
I would love to see what you do with her! Share your Sally Headband on Instagram by using #SALLYHEADBAND
Happy Making!

Sally
She was a dog-rose kind of girl:
elusive, scattery as petals;
scratchy sometimes, tripping you like briars.
She teased the boys
turning this way and that, not to be tamed
or taught any more than the wind.
Even in school the word ‘ought’
had no meaning for Sally.
On dull days
she’d sit quiet as a mole at her desk
delving in thought.
But when the sun called
she was gone, running the blue day down
till the warm hedgerows prickled the dusk
and moths flickered out.
Her mother scolded; Dad
gave her the hazel switch.
Said her head was stuffed with feathers
and a starling tongue.
But they couldn’t take the shine out of her.
Even when it rained
you felt the sun saved under her skin.
She’d a way of escape
laughing at you from the bright end of a tunnel,
leaving you in the dark.
