Option number 2: bandana with an elastic band
- Cut two pieces of fabric: strip (size - 28 x 10 cm) and the main part (38 x 18 cm).
- The strip bends 1 cm from the short sides and is stitched. Then from the seamy side it is sewn along the long edge and turned inside out. In the resulting "tube" with a pin you need to insert a rubber band. For convenience, you can take a longer elastic band (about 18 cm), and then cut off unnecessary ends. Keep in mind that the elastic should be 2 times shorter than the length of the strip, and so that it does not slip out, sew it with several stitches at the exit.
