✂️ Pattern Assembly
-
Lay both armband pieces (1) flat with right sides up, positioning the wrist edges toward each other.
-
Pin the uncut edge of each fringe piece (2) to one side of each armband (1), leaving at least 1″ unfringed at both ends for hemming. Each fringe piece measures approximately 8″ × 16″.
-
Fold each armband into a tube, keeping the fringe tucked inside, and stitch through all layers. Use a straight stitch for 2-way stretch fabrics or a serger for added stretch.
-
Hem the top and bottom openings using a ½” allowance with a cover stitch, zigzag, or stretch stitch to finish neatly.
