Market Prep Vlog: Sewing Towel Scrunchies / How To Sew Towel Scrunchies Start To Finish Tutorial

[@debbiedempsky8160]

Maybe try to sew these with your serger. Since they are thick, maybe cut them at 5" wide, but not as long. I think they are too thick to really "scrunch" up like a cottom. Maybe only 15" in length. You should be able to get 3 pieces using the longer measurement of the towel. Sell them as "wet hair towel scrunchies" for using after a shower, the beach or the pool.

I did colorful dish towels from $ store. Got 4 scrunchies out of a $1.25. Like the lighter weight, yet fluffy.

[@vickijones3608]

Joann fabric always has half off coupons all the time. And weeks of holidays always has big sale coupons. Try for towel fabric and also for the other Micro fiber fabric. Don't kNow how flannel would work for scrunchies but starting around Thanksgiving they sell flannel for two bucks a yard and many many colors to pick from. Give it a try. Good luck. You can find info online for their coupons.

[@jillstrickland9336]

Maybe you could try baby towels. They're softer and thinner.

[@shaycooper1376]

For the towel scrunchies I’d definitely use your serger and do a 5” width, it’ll allow more give when pulling the fabric through and won’t be so fidgety!😊

[@pambartlett3913]

The terry cloth by the yard is thinner than regular towels and therefore easier to sew with…but the lint still gets everywhere!

[@NeitaFajita]

I will definitely be trying terry cloth next time. I can't wait!

[@tuesdayschild7899]

Love how LIFE is going on behind you!!!! All the best!

- the decorative ends make great - back scrubber -

[@julieann5196]

If you make more of these towel scrunchies try trimming your seam allowance to 1/4 inch, that may help with the bulkiness. But they do look great.

[@angelamcgovern1525]

Thanks for the tutorial, you can buy microfibre by the metre here in uk as I make and embroider golf towels quite often

[@cindipritchard7578]

Great tutorial!!! I have seen these towel scrunchies used on the wrist when washing your face … stops the water running up your arm…. I hate that 😂

[@ThePJmommy]

Miss you lady! These look cool! Sucks that they are harder to make. Keep us posted on how they sell.

[@NeitaFajita]

Miss you!! Some suggested using Terry cloth because its thinner so I may need to test that out and I will let you know how they sell! ❤❤

[@okiegalcustoms5109]

Cutting mine at 5in wide made a huge difference. I would use your serger since you have one. I zigzags the long edges of mine.

[@NeitaFajita]

Thanks for sharing your tip! I will have to try that next time ❤❤

[@OMGScrunchieClubCo]

Hey Girl, Hey! Neita Fajita!!! Thanks for another awesome video. I actually made towel scrunchies before the summer began, shot the video too, but never edited it. I used microfiber hand towels for cars from the Dollar Tree and attempted to Tie Dye them. 1st time Tie Dyeing needless to say my tie dyeing was a hottt mess...lol, however the scrunchie turned out cute. When the summer ended I racked up on beach towels as they were marked down, so maybe next summer I'll have them up and ready to sell. I did make some with traditional towels too. The Microfiber towels don't shed as much as the traditional towels. Maybe I'll post my DIY Tie Dye Towel scrunchie making video so the world can get a laugh at my attempt to do something great...lol

[@NeitaFajita]

Yes please post it!! I will have to check and see if my local Wal-Mart has any beach towels on sale or on clearance. Thanks for watching and sharing!

[@shanicewambua7782]

Trying to sell the microfiber ones too but the kitch company patented it..idk if its gonna be a problem

[@michellem4118]

To be honest when you have a thick seam like that eye protection is a good idea.. I almost took an eye out luckily the string was on the needle and stopped half inch from my eye!! I have been looking for the yardage of microfiber. I have seen cut towels and you know they have yardage they are cutting up. I couldn't even find it on Alaba type websites.

[@NeitaFajita]

After sewing these, eye protection is a good idea! It scared the crap out of me when the needles broke lol

[@jeanwestackroyd2966]

Hi, dont know if anyone said, but for thicker stuff, I do....needle down, presser foot up. Usually pulls through much easier. May be worth trying if not done this already by now. Great videos, you inspire me to work !

[@NeitaFajita]

Great tip! I didn't think of that!

[@mercedesQ]

Hello! Great idea, thanks for sharing 😊 Too bad it’s so much work, but they look really comfy. I hope you sell out! Maybe giving the towels a quick wash (or rinse) prior to using them will cut time on having to lint roll everything. I don’t know 🤷🏽‍♀️ just a thought 💜

[@debbiedempsky8160]

I hate sewing with Minkie for the same reason. I wonder if spritzing those strips with water and tossing them in the dryer would get rid of enough fluff. With Minkie, I always felt like I was sneezing fluff for DAYS after sewing with it. Another option might be to use a pinking rotary blade.

[@mycraftyhomegarden]

I thought about sewing towel scrunchies but decided to just crochet mine for my upcoming market

[@NeitaFajita]

Crotchet scrunchies are so cool and look like a ton of fun to make!

[@mycraftyhomegarden]

@@NeitaFajita they are extremely relaxing to make

[@ikindred]

To cut down on the lint, you should just wash and dry the towels prior to sewing with them.

[@NeitaFajita]

Thanks for sharing you tip!

[@osewhoopy9253]

Terry Cloth fabric would be a little thinner as well. Thank you for your video!! 😊

[@cherylchavez5971]

Try using a walking foot!

[@bethloomis8961]

Scrunchies? Or face washing wrist bands? Add a towel headband and this would be a great gift. Also, I purchased a large MI refill er-type fabric at Costco a year or so ago. It had a different pattern on each side.

[@bethloomis8961]

Grrr. I bought a microfiber-type towel at Costco.

[@khristymadeit]

Love hanging out with you on your videos

[@melaniesimington2056]

I use my serger when making scrunches. I think it’s much faster, especially with thicker fabric. Thank you for another great video. I’ve missed your videos. Good luck at market. I’m not sure if I should say I hope all the towel scrunches sell or not. 😂

[@NeitaFajita]

I will definitely use my serger next time. I wish my sewing machine was just as fast

[@melaniesimington2056]

@@NeitaFajita I wish mine was too. 😁

[@jessiegibson9023]

Good video thanks looks good

[@veritagwallace1956]

When sewing with heavy fabric it’s best to use a larger sized needle…like an 80, or 90. I wonder if the method of using ‘GLAD Press & Seal’, like on Minky fabric, would also work on towels and terry cloth? There’s a video on SewingMachinesPlus KZbin, where a lady shows how to use it that way. The cost would add to your schrunchies, but you’d have less mess to clean up. Oh, why not use a wider elastic in the scrunchies. 🧐

[@jasmineparham5846]

Your market prep videos have helped me so much with preparing for my own first craft fair... thank you for sharing.

Love the Scrunchies, you do amazing work

[@michelejarrell4851]

what size to you do your regular hair ties?

[@jenny881283]

Awesome! Love seeing you keep busy busy. Can you do an update on your Epson F2000 DTGs.

[@NeitaFajita]

Yes I can definitely do that when I do my room tour! The machine has been awesome but we are having some difficulties with the white ink but we just purchased a new brand so we are hoping that can fix our issue. Thanks for watching.

[@jenny881283]

@@NeitaFajita yey! A new one congrats! Did you ever get the other one fixed?

[@moniquesmith8318]

try Ollies they have towels and there big I bought some before

[@agentredhasretired5450]

Nice. Well how did you do at the market?

[@NeitaFajita]

We did okay. We had 3 planned but 2 of the big ones were canceled due to weather 😔

[@veritagwallace1956]

The Dollar Tree sells microfiber towels, 2 for $1.25.

[@garcialove5930]

👍💛👍. 🤗🌻🎄 Feliz navidad! grasias

[@gummibearwright]

I might have missed it in your list but where do you buy your towel fabric 😊

[@NeitaFajita]

I believe I purchased the towels from Big Lots but I think next time I will just be purchasing Terry fabric from joanns.

[@brigittemilligan8653]

I really like this idea good work ☺️ and the server would probably work better

[@brigittemilligan8653]

I meant serger

[@NeitaFajita]

I will definitely try the serger next time!

[@Alisha-fs2gi]

What brand of cutter did you use?

[@Gigichew]

hello! i cant seem to find your etsy shop anywhere!

[@lexi._.paradise2290]

What length did u use for your Elastic

[@NeitaFajita]

8.5 inches

[@leighdesaram]

Walking foot

[@nickey081]

Just turn it over and sew the seem first so it doesn’t get as bulky

[@NeitaFajita]

Good idea! Thanks for watching!

[@khristymadeit]

I hate to tell you but you’re gonna need to get a commercial Juki sewing machine lol

[@LaChelle1962]

4 inches is to Small for that amount of bulk 6 inches would be better or 5:5
