Wondering what to do with those fabric scraps left over from bigger sewing projects? Sewing your own scrunchies is the perfect solution. It’s a great way of making use of those fabric scraps as well as being the perfect finishing touch to an outfit.
How to Sew a Hair Scrunchie
I’ve cut my fabric to 6″ wide by 30″ long. I’ve also cut a length of 5mm elastic 6″ long. I’ve pinned the end of the elastic to the wrong side of the fabric 3/4 of the way across. I’ve used a zig zag stitch to stitch the elastic in place.
I’ve pressed under about half an inch at the opposite end of the length of fabric.
Then I folded the fabric in half length ways
and stitched along the long edge.
The jumbo sized scrunchies are quite easy to turn right sides out with your fingers. Smaller sizes would need help from a loop turner.
The un-stitched end of the elastic is inserted into the other end of the scrunchie. And the pressed hem pulled over the join. Then a simple line of stitching through the fabric and elastic.
