Claim 14:
15. A method of making a multi-layered, reversible sweatband comprising:
(a) providing an inner layer comprising a first rectangular piece of fabric material having a left edge, a top edge, a right edge, a bottom edge, a first side, and a second side;
(b) providing an outer layer comprising a second rectangular piece of fabric material having a left side, a top side, a right side, a bottom side, a first side, and a second side;
(c) positioning the outer layer on top of the inner layer with the second side of the outer layer resting on top of the first side of the inner layer, the left edge of the outer layer disposed adjacent the left edge of the inner layer, the top edge of the outer layer disposed adjacent the top edge of the inner layer, the right edge of the outer layer disposed adjacent the right edge of the inner layer, and the bottom edge of the outer layer disposed adjacent the bottom edge of the inner layer;
(d) folding the outer layer and inner layer over together and positioning the left edges of the outer layer and the inner layer adjacent the right edges of the outer layer and the inner layer to define a vertical edge and to form a vertical fold opposite and generally parallel to the vertical edge;
(e) sewing the left edges of the outer layer and the inner layer and the right edges of the outer layer and inner layer together along the vertical edge so as to form a tube;
turning the tube inside out so the first side of the outer layer is on the outside of the tube, an upper end of the tube is defined by the top edges of the inner layer and the outer layer, and a lower end of the tube is defined by the bottom edges of the inner layer and the outer layer;
(g) rolling the tube over on itself until the lower end of the tube is adjacent the upper end of the tube to form a tubular body member, the tubular body member having a first end defined by a fold and a second end defined by the lower and upper ends of the tube, and the second side of the inner layer is on the outside of the tubular body member;
(h) sewing a portion of the fabric layers defining the second end of the tubular body member together so as to leave an opening adjacent the second end of the tubular body member; and
(i) inverting the tubular body member by pulling the fabric material through the opening so that the first side of the outer layer defines an exterior surface of the tubular body member and an interior surface of the tubular member.
