Scrunchie Sewing Homemade

Making a homemade scrunchie is a fun and straightforward project! Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you sew your own scrunchies:

Materials Needed

• Fabric: About 1/4 yard of cotton or any soft fabric. You can use old clothing, scraps, or new fabric.
• Elastic: 1/4 inch wide, about 8-10 inches long, depending on desired tightness.
• Sewing machine or needle and thread if sewing by hand.
• Scissors
• Safety pin (optional)
• Iron (optional, for creasing the fabric)

Steps

1. Cut the Fabric:

   • Cut a strip of fabric that is 3-4 inches wide and 18-22 inches long. The length can vary depending on how full you want the scrunchie to be.

2. Prepare the Fabric:

   • Fold the fabric strip in half lengthwise with the right sides facing each other.
   • Press it with an iron to create a crease if desired.

3. Sew the Long Edge:

   • Sew along the long open edge with a 1/4 inch seam allowance, leaving the ends open.

4. Turn the Tube:

   • Use a safety pin or a turning tool to turn the fabric tube right side out.

5. Insert Elastic:

   • Cut a piece of elastic about 8-10 inches. Use a safety pin to attach the elastic to one end of the fabric.
   • Thread the elastic through the tube, ensuring it doesn’t get twisted.

6. Sew the Ends Together:

   • Once the elastic is pulled through, overlap the ends of the elastic by about 1/2 inch and sew them together securely.
   • Tuck in the fabric at the ends of the scrunchie and sew the open ends together to close it up.

7. Finish the Scrunchie:

   • Ensure all raw edges are tucked in, and give it one final press with an iron if desired.

Tips

• Experiment with different fabric types or patterns for various looks.
• Adjust the width and length of the fabric strip to customize the size of your scrunchie.
