Abstract
A headband and its method of construction requires only a few sections of cloth or fabric that are sewn together in a minimum number of simplified steps in constructing the headband.
Claims20
A method of constructing a headband, the method comprising:
- providing a piece of cloth having a longitudinal length and a lateral width;
- forming a fold in the piece of cloth by folding over the piece of cloth across its lateral width and along its longitudinal length so that laterally opposite edges of the piece of cloth are adjacent;
- sewing together the adjacent laterally opposite edges forming a tubular sleeve having a longitudinal length corresponding to the longitudinal length of the piece of cloth;
- and
- inserting a resilient hoop into the tubular sleeve.

A method of constructing a headband, the method comprising:
- providing a top section of the headband from a first piece of cloth having a longitudinal length and a lateral width;
- providing an intermediate section of the headband from a second piece of cloth having a longitudinal length and a lateral width;
- providing a bottom section of the headband from a third piece of cloth having a longitudinal length and a lateral width;
- sewing a first longitudinal edge of the top section to a first longitudinal edge of the intermediate section;
- sewing a second longitudinal edge of the intermediate section to a first longitudinal edge of the bottom section;
- folding the sewn top, intermediate and bottom sections over so that a second longitudinal edge of the top section is positioned adjacent a second longitudinal edge of the bottom section;
- sewing the second longitudinal edge of the top section to the second longitudinal edge of the bottom section forming a tubular sleeve having a longitudinal length corresponding to the longitudinal lengths of the top section, intermediate section and the bottom section;
- and
- inserting a resilient hoop through the tubular sleeve until the hoop is entirely contained in the tubular sleeve.
