 Start a Scrunchie 2024 Part 2

Now I have my Safety Pins I can continue where I left off.

Pin Elastic

I select a Pin and taking one End of the Elastic I secure it. I haven’t Hemmed the Elastic at this point. This is because I am not sure if I have too much and need to Cut some Off.

Pull Through

I Pull Through the the Elastic using the Safety Pin. I have to make sure that the other End of the Elastic doesn’t come through. You cannot see it but the other End of the Tube is Scrunched up.

Hem Elastic

I can now Hem and Sew the Elastic Ends together. Since this can be fiddly use the Safety Pin to hold the Elastic together whilst Sewing.

Sew Width

This can be a bit tricky. I need to Sew the Tube Ends together along the Width. However I need to make sure that I do not sew completely through both sets of Material.

I Sewed little by little making sure that there was a Gap on the other side. When one part was complete I turned over and Sewed the rest.

Completed Scrunchie

I now have a Completed Scrunchie. I think I might have slightly too much Material so will have to take that into consideration next time. Of course the Thread needs to match better. I used this so I could see how I was doing. I could Unpick the Hemming .Thread if I want too at a later date, but I am satisfied for now. Oh and the most important thing is that it does work as I am wearing it now.
