Tutorial: Sew a scrunchie

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

It is 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 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
• Pliers
• Some thread
• A sewing machine

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, get a piece of fabric, cut 10 cm by 60 cm. Fold it in half, right sides together, don't forget to leave 4 cm at the beginning and at the end then pin with pliers.

Step 2: Start sewing from the first dart, as shown in the picture below, to the last one. 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: Assemble the ends right sides together as in the picture below, then sew.

Step 4: Choose any rubber band as long as it feels strong enough when you pull on it. Cut 20 cm of it, then pass it through the tube. Be careful to hold the two ends well and sew them one on top of the other in the zigzag mode of your machine.

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

And there you have your favorite!
