Markham Headband
This lovely lace headband is named for the British-born female pilot Beryl Markham. She had a penchant for writers and thrill seekers, and became an accomplished pilot who was the first female to fly west-to-east from England to the U.S.
Her lifestyle, which defied the conventions of her time, was in turn glamorous, thrilling, filled with risk, and in her later years rather mundane. This headband’s inspiration is from the glamour years. Use a beaded fiber for this quick project, add two small shank buttons, and you’ll feel glamorous yourself.
