Thank you so much. I’ve learned from other videos what I feel works and what doesn’t. Half the fun for my scrunchies is definitely the fabric because I love shopping 😊
I've always made scrunchies this way and I've been wanting to make it with.a zipper and I could never find a tutorial on how to make it. I'm so glad I found your video! Making the scrunchies this way is so much easier then other tutorials that I've found.
I'll just echo what everyone else has already said. This is the clearest and concise tutorial I have seen for a zipper scrunchie. Thank you so much for sharing this video. Have a great day. :)
Thank you. I’m so glad I’ve been able to help others. The burrito method makes for such a professional looking scrunchie I love it and so do my customers
This video and method solve so many of the problems I've been having with the zippers as the ends are always showing. I'll need practice with the burrito method, but in general this looks is 100% cleaner and neater than the method I've been using. Thank you for sharing it, I appreciate it.
Hi! Im from the Philippines I just wanna say thank you for this tutorial!! It really help me a lot and its really easy to follow. Thank you very much for this tutorial video☺️
I love how you make zipper scrunchies! Very informative and clear! Thank you so much! God bless you always! Your video helped me a lot for my scrunchie business
This is just the PERFECT tutorial!!! I've watched your video when I was in the learning process of making scrunchies and I didn't understand very cleary at that time 🤣 but now it's been a while since I started my scrunchie business, made a lot of scrunchies and I've just watched it again and that way of making zipper scrunchie is GENIUS!!! I use the burrito method too and I was wondering how could I use it for make a zipper scrunchie and I've just found it! 🤗 Thank you sooooo much!! Cheers from Brazil!
Just what I was looking for! Everything came out really clean and super easy to follow. Only thing I did different was with the elastic, I threaded it thought the straight tube before turning right sides out.
That is true. I try to blend in the zipper with the fabric colour so its more of a hidden zipper. I do have the close up video which makes it easier to see
This was my first burrito method. It worked except the trouble I’m having (I tried 2 other tutorials before yours with the same issue) is my zipper ends stick out when finished. I know you said something about laying one side of the zipper on top or something but I watched twice and can’t see what it is you are doing. Every scrunchie I make the zipper ends are exposed and I have to cut them down and it looks terrible. Can you explain that part to me.
Hey. So I think your best bet is to actually check out my 2nd video that’s a close up of me doing the zipper. A few others had the same issue so I made a second video. It’s been a while since I made one and mama brain has set in 😂 I can’t even remember how I made them
I did my first with a regular #3 zipper and it did work. I just found it to be a bit more bulky than I personally liked which is why I switched. Definitely use a zipper foot so you can sew close to the zipper teeth and then you will get a closer look to mine. And thank you glad you enjoyed it 😊
@@StitchtheDot Thank you! So far, my first attempt was a OK sucess. Bought more zippers to try again. BY FAR the best method I have ever done. Cuts sewing time by minutes.
My best suggestion is actually to check out a machine dealer. So go in and try. I personally sew on a Juki 2010Q due to the fact that I sew nearly daily and a lot of bags. It’s a semi industrial so can handle what I put it through. For clothes that I make myself and kids I use a Janome serger.
Oh you, re a daaaaaarling. Thank you for sharing this tutorial with us. Where does one add the company tag? Love and greetings from Pretoria, South Africa.
My first try was such a total fail :( the lengths of the zipper were uneven, and when I finished stitching it at the end, the tops of the zipper poke out. Do you Have any advice on how to keep the sides even??
Aw I’m sorry to hear that. Are you using a 5” zipper? If you are then no trimming is required. If you are using a longer one then while the zipper is closed sew over the zipper right before the spot where you will trim it to get the correct length. This will help keep your zipper sides lined up. I did post a second video close up of the zipper ends and how to sew and turn your fabric so they aren’t poking out. If you need more help feel free to reach out to me through my Facebook page Stitch the Dot and I’ll definitely do my best 😊
Your best bet is a zigzag stitch on a domestic machine. Or if you have other stitches, any that look similar to how a serger would finish an edge would work.
I get mine shipped to me from Cleaners Supply in the States (I’m in Canada) but any of your local sewing or quilt shops should have them. Another place to look is Amazon
It was a complete fluke. I was looking in a local fabric shop (Lens Mill here in Ontario) and I saw it. They don’t usually carry Riley Blake so I bought a yard because I know it’s now near impossible to get. Have you tried Etsy?
For the life of me I can’t get the zipper right. I’ve ruined 5 scrunchies so far. Can you do a close up of the zipper part? LOVE your video though! Where do you get your fabrics and zippers?
Hey Adelita. I will get a small video added for a close up or you can send me a message through Facebook and I’ll send some photos for you. Stitch the Dot on FB 😊 I get my zippers from cleanersupply.ca I know there is a .com version too. As for fabrics they come from a lot of local Ontario fabric shops but I order from all across Canada
Oh no. Have you checked out my other video that’s specifically for the ends of the zipper? I did a close up of how to install them. If that’s still not helping feel free to send me a message through my Facebook page Stitch the Dot and I’ll do my best to help you out
No The Marion is my latest purse pattern. You want the video called Close up of the zipper for a zipper scrunchie. You will need to go through my video list and it’s probably about half way down
Well you are entitled to your opinion and there are many things in the world that have zero point. But those who do love these have plenty of reasons to use them. Its super frustrating that they keep making women’s pants without pockets so where else shall we put our lip balm, small change, etc? A scrunchie with a zipper pocket js a fun alternative to small items getting lost in the endless pit of a purse. So while you might not see the point plenty of others do
I personally don’t add tags to my scrunchies. Other items I do but not these. I would suggest adding your tag in as you are sewing the tube. So as you are sewing the seams together slip it into the seam where you would like it.
