To Make Your Scrunchie
Step One
Cut the Fabric required.
Step Two
Measure 5cm in from the short ends on the wrong side and mark.
Step Three
Fold over lengthwise (right sides together) and pin along the long edge. Sew between the marks using a 1cm seam allowance or the edge of your machine foot.
Step Four
Turn right side out, using the safety pin to help if needed.
Step Five
Take the short un-sewn ends and with the right sides together pin and sew across to join them.
Step Six
Thread the elastic through using the safety pin - ensure you secure the elastic to one opening so you don't loose the elastic. Overlap the elastic by 1.5cm and sew with a zig zag to form a circle.
Fold in the seam allowance, pin and sew gap closed.
