section of cloth along the dotted line shown in fig2 this will be the forward edge of the headband other shapes for the forward edge may be employed for example the second longitudinal edge 26 could be defined by a pair of arcs cut into this section of cloth that both meet at the longitudinal center of the section of cloth 14 the second longitudinal edge 26 of the top section of cloth 14 can be formed with any desired longitudinal length for the intended wearer of the headband the longitudinal length must be sufficiently long to extend from adjacent the ear on one side of the head across the top of the head to adjacent the ear on the opposite side of the head in the preferred embodiment of the invention each of the three sections of cloth 14 16 18 are backed with fusible interfacing of the type commercially available the fusible interfacing is applied to only one side of the three sections the side being that which will not be visible on the completed headband the interfacing is added to the cloth sections to prevent the fraying of the cloth and also to obscure stitching lines in the interior of the finished headband the first longitudinal edge 24 of the top section of cloth 14 is sewn to the first longitudinal edge 28 of the intermediate section of cloth 16 in the preferred embodiment of the invention the intermediate section of cloth is a narrow grosgrain ribbon the two longitudinal edges are sewn together with a narrow seam allowance as shown in fig3 a and 3b the first longitudinal edge 32 of the bottom section of cloth 18 is then sewn along the second longitudinal edge 30 of the intermediate section of cloth 16 as shown in.
