How to Make a Silk Scrunchie | DIY Scrunchie Tutorial

[@Paula-sw4mw]

As a novice, I so appreciate you using a patterned fabric in your tutorial because it's easier to know which is the wrong side of the fabric. Thank you!

[@MadetoSew]

Thanks Paula. Really appreciate that. It’s something I forgot to consider sometimes. So I am glad it helped.

Best scrunchie making video by far!

[@MadetoSew]

Thanks so much.

[@marieaagesen6391]

Great tutorial! 😊 I also zigzagged the fabric as silk tends to fray a lot! I used a scrap piece of silk that was 20 cm wide - became a very poofy and dramatic looking scrunchie 😄

[@laurenrosanvallon3753]

These are great, easy-to-follow instructions! I already made scrunchies for myself and my fam! They look pro thanks to your awesome tutorial!! Thank you!

[@MadetoSew]

Thanks so much Lauren. So pleased I could help. Aneka x

I have so missed your regular videos. You are a phenomenal teacher and I would love for you to start making regular videos once again. Your How to tutorials are so much help. Thanks again for all your hard work! Happy Easter!

[@MadetoSew]

Thank you so much. I am trying to get 1 up per week. Any suggestions let me know. Thank you and Happy Easter too. Aneka x

@@MadetoSew I have a broken ankle and am laid up on the couch--I have been binge watching your videos over again. One thing I have not come across is how to stitch button plackets and plackets on cuffs of shirts. Any help you could give via a tutorial would be appreciated. Thanks so much!

[@MadetoSew]

@@joylittle3917 Hi Joy, so sorry to hear that. I hope it gets better soon. I have a placket for a shirt (one option) coming in a couple of weeks. I can of course do more after this. 😊 Thanks for the suggestion.

[@szashemashburn9288]

Great tutorial! I look forward to making some silk scrunchies this weekend.

[@MadetoSew]

Thank you. Have fun!

[@paulinelewis7980]

Should you iron scrunchie before inserting elastic. Good instructions.

[@MadetoSew]

Thanks Pauline. I didn’t iron them and we don’t iron the ones we make (possible a time issue more than anything). You most definitely could give it a press, interestingly I think it might make the seam more visible around the scrunchie?! Give it a try and see how you get on.

[@dmrcreations3311]

gr8 video and I am just starting out sewing so this is easier method for me. I was wondering though, that small opening , will it fray inside the scrunchie or show possibly after washing scrunchies/

[@carolyngethings]

Lovely! I'm thinking they will make beautiful Easter gifts for the girls in my family. x

[@MadetoSew]

That's a great idea! I hope they love them.

Thannk you so much for this detailed explanation. I really appreciate it.

[@MadetoSew]

Glad it was helpful!

[@garybaldwin5241]

It’s so nice to see you again. You are such a great teacher. What are your thoughts about using lightweight and medium weight linen? Summer is just around the corner.

[@MadetoSew]

Hi Gary, thank you for your kind words. Yes linen would work both lightweight or medium weight. 💜

[@mercylovely]

Thank you for making this video! They are lovely 💕

[@MadetoSew]

My pleasure, I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it.

Hi to see you again!

[@MadetoSew]

Thank you!

[@shopforacause2138]

Hi thank you do much for the tutorial. I am a little stuck on elastic (braided, knit or swim wear).Is the elastic 1/4 or 3/8 inch? Also why did you choose knitted elastic? Also for the slimmer scrunchy I would like larger ruffles and will make it in 4.5 inches, do I have to change the elastic length? Thanks so much

[@MadetoSew]

Glad I could help. I used knitted elastic (I would suggest knitted or woven elastic as they don't narrow when stretched). Knit elastic is usually a little softer than woven elastic. I used elastic that is 9mm so a bit smaller than 3/8". You don't need to change the elastic length if you want more ruffles, just add more fabric. 😊

[@MadetoSew]

@@shopforacause2138 No problem. 😊

[@snippetsbymonica]

Early squad!! This is really helpful will try this technique can I ask , is it okay to use this technique also in an organza fabric? Really having a hard time sewing organza 🥺🥺🥺 . I really love all your contents they are all really helpful for begineer sewer like meeee 😍🥰. Thank you

[@MadetoSew]

So pleased you like it Mary. Yes you could use organza, it will just give you a different finish. The scrunchie will be stiffer and more structured. But if your ok with that, give it a go! If the organza is sheer you might want to put a backing fabric on it. Otherwise you would see the elastic?

[@lepeypylapa]

What are the advantages of silk compared to other materials? Aside from the luxurious feeling.

[@MadetoSew]

I believe it is good for the hair; this is what I have heard from my hairdresser and on the internet. Feel free to 'google' it though. I read that silk scrunchies help to prevent damage to your hair, and they are good to wear overnight because they shouldn't leave your hair with a line where the tie has been. I hope that helps?

[@MadetoSew]

[@iloveharrold]

Could you use silk ribbon?

[@MadetoSew]

Yes you could that would work.

Mulberry Silk?

[@MadetoSew]

Yes, Mulberry Silk would work. 😃

[@PeggySue-RL]

What about children sizes

[@MadetoSew]

I would reduce the size of the elastic, as well as the size of the rectangle. 😊 I am not sure exactly by how much. If you have another childrens scrunchie I would measure it and see what size that it.

Now I'm leaving.. my apologies did not see it.. until now.. goodbye..

Good luck with your sewing.
