Nancy’s Notions' 
Creative Kindness Bandana Kit

Creative Kindness Bandanna is a Stylish Headwear Alternative for any Season or Reason!

Beaver Dam WI—In the continuing spirit of Creative Kindness (the book written by Nancy Zieman with Gail Brown), Nancy's Notions has introduced a new head covering kit, the Creative Kindness Bandanna Kit. This stylish headwear alternative ties on easily, to fit anyone foe any reason, from hair loss cover-up to "bad hair day" camouflage.

Nancy Zieman, well-known host of Sewing with Nancy and Brown's Creative Kindness co-author, encourages the "make one, give one away" strategy. "Unfortunately, because of cancer, alopecia, scleroderma and cranial surgery, the need for head covers never stops. These great-looking bandannas tie on to instantly fit anyone. Sew one or two for yourself, and give the rest away to a hospital, nursing home, or friend. What a wonderful way to spread "Creative Kindness".  

Gail brown, designer of the best-selling Creative kindness Beret Kit, styled this new kit with both fashion and function in mind. the padded and topstitched crown adds flattering fullness around the face, while comfortable fabrics gently drape over the head. Included in the kit is enough fabric for four bandannas -- tow in elegant rayon batik and two in sporty polartec™ 100 fabric. Sewn easily in thirty minutes or less, the bandanna requires no special equipment or notions.

"This bandanna measured up to our head cover criteria", Brown emphasized. "First, it is attractive. A healthy person would enjoy wearing this bandanna, just as much as a patient would. Second, and just as crucial, it provides comfort and security for those patients coping with their hair loss. And finally, our design is effortless to fit, fun to wear, and simple to sew".

The illustrated step-by-step instructions included in the kit provide complete layout, cutting, and construction methods. Also included are production-assembly tips, guidelines for children's sizing, and directions for an optional fleece scrunchie (to fasten the bandanna without tying).

The Creative Kindness Bandanna Kit (Nancy's Notions Catalog 38, p.81; item#CBKT3) sells for $19.95 plus shipping. To order, contact Nancy's Notions, PO Box 683, Beaver Dam WI 53916-0683, 1-800-833-0690; or visit www.nancysnotions.com. Wholesale and group discount inquiries are invited.
