patchwork + linen = love obsession
I've been admiring the works of other that use linen for a while. It seems to be a popular choice. But, the linen at my Joann's is $14/yard, more than I am usually willing to pay for fabric. Thank goodness for labor day weekend sales and coupons, because after my 40% off, I walked away with 2 yards of dreamy linen for $17. I've been sewing and in love ever since.
I thought headbands would be a safe first project because you don't need to use a lot of fabric. Now I can't stop sewing these. I figured these would be good smaller items for the craft fair, and since I'm loving them so much, they might also appear on etsy. We'll see how long this obsession lasts. ( I already have about 6 more waiting to be sewn downstairs!)

Too CUTE!
I share your same "love" for linen and patchwork. What a fantastic idea -- they are beautiful!
So cute! And it seems like headbands do really well on Etsy - I would do it!
LOVE the headbands! The tiny patchwork is just too cute. I guess I've got to get me some linen!
Pretty.
I have ordered linen from http://www.graylinelinen.com/. (I bought the "Judy.") Reasonably priced - $7.99/yard. Free shipping. No tax.
Katie, those are ADORABLE! I love the green ones the best. I think you're right--great idea for the craft fair!
i am totally feeling your linen love there katie!! super cute how are you fastening those in back?
Love! Those are sooo cute! Make sure you let me know when they're up on Etsy!
I understand the linen obsession! Isn't it great to get just what you're wanting for a discount, woot.
The headbands are fantastic, I particularly love the green one, the little squares are so lovely! And the whole shape is great too, love that taper.
Oh my gosh, I LOVE these! They are going to be a hit, I am sure.
They're beautiful! I am really excited for you and the craft fair. Since I'm in the area, I'll definitely be attending the fair.
I am obsessed with linen too! :) Those headbands look wonderful!
There is a linen group on flickr and I actually started a discussion about where people buy linen, since it is so expensive in the stores.

I love linen and the combination for your headbands. Very cool.
Those are adorable!
Oh, how I wish I had long hair...
