Free pattern: scrunchie from fabric scraps

Scrunchies are the perfect project for fabric scraps – and a quick little gift.

You will need

• 1 fabric strip 55 × 10 cm (muslin, velvet, silk or cotton)
• 1 piece of 6 mm elastic, 20 cm long
• Matching thread, safety pin

Instructions

1. Fold the strip lengthwise right sides together and sew the long edge with a 1 cm seam allowance. Leave approx. 5 cm open at the end.
2. Turn the tube right side out.
3. Thread the elastic through with the safety pin, overlap the ends by 2 cm and sew securely.
4. Tuck one fabric end into the other, fold the seam allowance in and topstitch closed.

Tip: Silk scraps make scrunchies that are especially kind to your hair.
