BEST TUTORIAL EVER!!! No annoying ukulele music, AND super to follow instructions, which make a good scrunchie?? This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you for a very straight forward method. Your tip about using 2 safety pins with the task is genius and I'll be using it for other things involving elastic in tubes of fabric too in future. Thanks again ❤️
This is incredible! I love how detailed you are and that you don't put it in 60x speed, I'm a visual person so I need to see what is exactly happening, I must admit, this tutorial really helped me
Omg thank you! I’ve wanted to start sewing for the longest time but always get put off by overly complicated patterns (honestly they’re just jibberish to me) and this is perfect! Going to try it on an old pillow case for practise and then try in some better fabric
I use scrunchies everyday to keep my hair up. I don't like my hair in my face while I workout or cooking. Thank you for this tutorial. Easiest one so far quick and to the point.
I just made this as an addition to my fashion design final and I think it really finishes the whole look. Thank you for the tutorial! You definitely helped contribute to this A :)
This is definitely the most easiest way of making scrunches from all the videos I’ve seen.thank you so much for making this vid I highly appreciate this
So far I have made 3, 2 of which were sewn just now. The only bit I struggle with is the sewing of the ends of the elastic using the sewing machine, so I overstitched by hand. I am no seamstress by any means, but I am quite pleased with myself, I just hope our little granddaughter likes them and they fit her 🫢❤️🤣
Wow thanks! I’m only 11 and have a new business that me and my cousin run! It has really grown and I’ve even hired some people from around the neighborhood to help out! We’ve made over 1000 dollars in sales over the past 3 months and scrunches are my top seller! Next to hoodies and bunny hugs!
This is a great tutorial. Thank you. I feel like I will try to hand stitch the elastic together with a needle and thread rather than fight with the sewing machine haha.
Thanks so much for showing us how to sew scrunchies! I'm doing an up-cycling/sewing workshop at my uni and we wanted to make scrunchies, so I'll use your video as a reference :)
Thank you for this well explained tutorial! I was gifted my Nan’s sewing machine and have never used one before so am hoping this might be an easy project to start with! 🥰🤞🏻
A chopstick helps with turning the fabric from inside to outside. A narrow ruler also helps. Back in the 1990's I made a ton of these for my daughters.
It's easier to turn casings like this if you put a ruler/pencil/chopstick/long straight stick like object etc. You just start to turn the first part over and the use the stick to push everything else through. You probably know this trick already but If not, it's a useful thing to know. 😊 It's great for turning narrow casings like when you make straps for a top.
I just went to micheals and got this same exact fabric for making this.( not on purpose)Then ended on this video!! What a coincidence lol. Love the vid tho
I am a new sewer here. When I do the final step and sew it together my sewing machine always gets jammed. I then have to open it up, cut my scrunchie off the bundle of knots and start over:( do you know why it does that? Is it the tension? What is your tension set at?
It's hard to know without being able to see what's happening. It's possible the tension is off (I keep mine at 3, but all machines are different - try sewing on some scrap fabric and adjust the tension back and forth to see what the best setting is for your machine) Another possibility could be that the machine is not threaded correctly. The last thing I can think of is that the feed dogs (the little teeth that pull the fabric through) aren't working correctly. Sometimes with smaller projects, the fabric can be pulled down into the feed dogs causing jams. Try to gently pull the fabric through as you're sewing to prevent this. I hope one of these suggestions help. If anyone else has other ideas that would be helpful, please comment!
It could be the needle too. I had problems with that when I first started sewing, I changed the needle to the next strength up and it hasn't done it since. There's certain needles you need for the certain fabric you're using. Look at your manual and it will tell you what to use.
Sometimes the little piece the bobbin sits in can get twisted and kicked around, open it up and make sure it's in the right place. If it's messed up it can tangle the thread really bad and force it to stop sewing.
@@devonmaple8522 There are measuring tapes like that but they aren't really of much help when you're dealing with centimetres only. They are only usefull when you're watching a tutorial from the U.S
I can't wait to try this tomorrow! This is an amazing tutorial! I have 1 question for you, when you sew over the elastic at the end, can it still move around? Trying it regardless, I won't know how it works until I do it. 😂 Thanks!
What do you think is better . Sewing the elastic or tying them together? Because a lot of store sold scrunchies just tie them together (I only know because I cut one up)
