Sewing machineoptional, you can handsew the scrunchie
Instructions
Measure and cut the fabric. Your fabric needs to be cut into a 4 x 22 inches strip (or 3.5" x 18" if you are making a mini scrunchie).
Fold the last quarter of an inch of the short edge, press it and stitch it to get a finished edge.
Fold the strip in half lengthwise and pin the edges together, right sides on each other.
Sew along the open edge lengthwise with a quarter inch allowance.
Turn the tube inside out and insert the elastic. Attach a safety pin to one end of the fabric tube youjust made and pull it through the tube to flip the whole thing inside out.
Cut the elastic down to an 8 inches long strip.
Attach a safety pin to its one end and thread it through the tube.
Make sure that the elastic is flat inside the tube and then sew across the overlapped elastic ends.
Sew back and forth to reinforce the stitching and provide it with enough durability to resist stretching.
Sew both ends of the scrunchie together by putting one of the ends through the other, open end. Position it well and make sure that nothing is twisted before you sew it together in place. Stitch across the ends you just tucked into each other.
