Tutorial: Sew a scrunchie

Find out how to make your own stylish scrunchie with our simple and trendy sewing guide.

It's well known that learning to sew is complicated, especially when you don't know where to start. In this tutorial, we show you how to sew a DIY scrunchie. This accessory is perfect if you want to start sewing!

Here is the list of materials you will need:

• Fabric
• A pair of scissors
• An elastic band
• Clamps
• Thread
• A sewing machine

If you don't already own a sewing machine, you can get one through Juki sewing machine rental at Verotex.

There is no specific type of fabric for scrunchies. However, we recommend a few, for example Swiss cotton , jeans , cotton poplin , double gauze , etc. PS: Satin can also be used and it will not damage the structure of your hair. 😉

Step 1: First, take a piece of fabric and cut it 10 cm by 60 cm. Fold it in half, right sides together, remembering to leave 4 cm at the beginning and end then pin using clips.

Step 2: Start sewing from the first clamp, as in the picture below, to the last one. For a neat finish, you can use a Juki overlocker . Then remove the clamps as the tube forms. Once finished, turn the tube over so you can see the front side of the fabric.

Step 3: Join the ends right sides together as shown in the picture below, then sew.

Step 4: Choose any elastic, as long as it's strong enough when you pull on it. Cut 20 cm of it, then thread it through the tube. Be careful to hold both ends of the elastic firmly. Then sew them together using a zigzag stitch, preferably with a high-performance machine like the Juki machines , known for their precision and robustness.

Step 5: Once finished, fold back the remaining centimeters of your fabric to make an internalhem then topstitch everything.

And there you have your favorite DIY!
