The EASIEST Scrunchie Tutorial Ever (No Pattern Needed!)

[@helenteal1566]

What a clever, clever way to sew,, after 50 years of sewing, you have taught me something new, Thank you.

[@SeamworkVideo]

Thanks so much, so glad this was helpful!

[@carriewebb259]

This video was so well done! My eleven-year-old just sewed her first scrunchie following this method, and now she's onto number two and has plans for at least 71 more with a whole bunch of fabric she just inherited! 😄

[@SeamworkVideo]

I love that! So glad it was helpful!

[@zelahfines6535]

This is the only way I’ve seen to make scrunches so far, but cool! Thanks for the good tutorial.

[@valariegailniessnermissval8329]

There’s an easier way when doing the elastic. Before turning the scrunchy right side out, you slide your elastic through the tube; tie the elastic in a knot; then turn it. I think it’s a real time saver.

[@SeamworkVideo]

That's a great method too!

[@teresaguerrero3751]

Won't the knot maybe come undone?

[@kashigata]

@@teresaguerrero3751”Knot” in my experience! 😅😅😅

[@zeddybear257]

@@teresaguerrero3751I like a sewn elastic so that it’s smooth.

[@jenniferward7912]

I just made 18 scrunchies using this fantastic video! Just like cooking, I wish I'd read the comments first. lol This method of adding elastic is brilliant! I'm also a fan of tying the elastic because it's just so efficient.

[@obxshelly]

This is a common technique called the "Burrito Method". Still is effective, however before turning loop right sides out, I insert elastic through tube, stitch elastic ends together, then pull it all through the 2" opening I've left. This achieves the same end result, it's just a bit easier to thread the elastic right through the center of the tube, rather than fish it through once turned right side out. Beautifully made video!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Thanks for watching!

[@emilybarnhart5919]

I'm not sure I understand your method with the elastic. Could you please explain the details step by step?

[@LilaBear]

​@@emilybarnhart5919before you turn the tube the right way out, thread your elastic through the inside out tube. Tie or stitch the two ends together, then just keep on as this tutorial instructs (turn it all right way out). You'll then end up with the scrunchie right way out with the elastic already inside. I know it sounds confusing but it's easy to do. I did it myself and I still don't understand the engineering involved 😂

[@gabya.r.p9198]

Nice! Thank you​@@LilaBear

[@JohannaVanWinkle]

This was a clear and concise video. Thank you!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@CraftyGin]

Loved this video. I have never made a scrunchie so fast without issues before. Thank you!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Awesome! So glad to hear it!

[@sabrinaharris6538]

I had heard about sewing scrunchies using the burrito method, but hadnt seen how it was done, i am so glad i found your video, now i know how to do the burrito method for scrunchies, i will definitely be trying it. I also love that you shared the 3 different sizes of scrunchies. Thank you for sharing your time, and your talent with all of us.

[@SeamworkVideo]

You are so welcome! So glad you liked it!

[@TutressToYou]

Cool. I add the elastic before I turn mine over. Good job.

[@SeamworkVideo]

Great idea!

[@MariaEstrada-gi7mv]

Thank you for explaining in inches. So much easier for me ❤❤❤

[@SeamworkVideo]

You are so welcome!

[@susiewilson3943]

I've been sewing scrunchies with this method for a few years, it's really the best way! Instead of stitching the elastic I just tie the elastic ends together before stitching the scrunchie opening, and just add an extra inch or so to the elastic measurement.

[@SeamworkVideo]

Nice!

[@marthamyers1539]

What a “cool trick”. You have taught an old woman something. You both know what you are doing and how to present the info. Too many on KZbin do not and should not be trying to teach others. Thank you,

[@SeamworkVideo]

Thanks!

[@Rosemary-wo7lv]

Wow how easy are they. I have avoided the scrunching making too fiddly but since watching your video I have made seven (7) for our 70th birthday party this weekend. Thankyou so much.

[@SeamworkVideo]

Happy birthday! Glad you found the scrunchie making as fun and easy as we do!

[@lindaavila4630]

Wow your instructions are very clear thank you lots

[@SeamworkVideo]

You’re welcome 😊

[@cindymousseau9346]

In my Google search I studied each thumbnail on this tutorial and chose this. Once I realized it was Seamwork, I knew I'd hit gold. This method is fantastic! Time for some birthday party loot bag treats ☺️

[@SeamworkVideo]

That's awesome!

[@julestopper7553]

this would be such an easy way to sew an infinity scarf! awesome technique!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Oh good idea! Definitely!

[@AussieMumVLOGS]

​@@SeamworkVideoHi, im in my mid 30s and have Never used a sewing machine! I wouldnt know how to turn it on, what stitch to use, how to thread needle.. Could you make a tutorial for ULTRA BEGINNERS? Would love to make some scrunchies for my daughter and canvas tote bags. 😊

[@LilaBear]

​@@AussieMumVLOGSyou need a basic sewing tutorial rather than trying to bundle all those basic sewing skills into a tutorial for a specific project. I'm sure there's heaps on KZbin. My sewing machine actually came with a DVD with tutorials on it for how to use the machine!

[@LilaBear]

​@@AussieMumVLOGSalso genuinely not intending to be rude but did you not learn basic sewing in highschool? I'm the same age as you, maybe a year or two older, also Australian, and we learnt machine sewing in home economics for a semester in year 8. (That was our first year of highschool in Qld... I think other states it was year 7).

[@bethanyrylaarsdam6556]

The measurements for different sizes are so helpful! Thanks!

[@ninaxuereb]

finally someone who sews a scrunchie the way i do, simple and easy, everything you have done is the way i do mine right down to machine stitching the elastic ends thats for a great video

[@SeamworkVideo]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@zeddybear257]

I like that you sewed the elastic instead of doing the knot so that the elastic is smooth inside of the scrunchie. This is also nice for slim scrunchies which are my faves.

[@SeamworkVideo]

So glad you liked it!

[@deborahdeb9942]

OMG I love how easy that is, thank you.

Thank you so much!

[@deniserichards8441]

Thank you for this tutorial. It is really easy to follow and I really appreciate the different sizes. 😊

[@MomOnSkates]

I use this method. From one yard, I can get exactly 4 XL scrunchies cut at 6 inches X WOF, 4 regular cut at 4.5 X 1/2 WOF and 2 mini cut at 3 inches X 1/2 WOF. Elastic is cut at 9, 8 and 7 inches respectively. I knot the elastic as it’s my preference. Then I hand stitch the opening closed. I learned this from trial and error, many many errors. 😂

[@SeamworkVideo]

Nice! I love that you have a scrunchie system in place.

[@86jananii]

What is the meaning for WOF

[@mishmoo33]

​@86jananii it means Width of Fabric ..

[@UnFiltered-Beauty89]

Super helpful!!❤

[@SeamworkVideo]

I'm so glad!

[@saschmidtski]

Just made 2 little scrunchies with this method. So fun and easy!!

Do you have a tutorial for doing a bunny ear or long tail scrunchie? Also do you have a tutorial on how to do a scrunchie with a hair tie? You are a great teacher btw.

[@SeamworkVideo]

This is our only scrunchie tutorial, but there are lots out there with all kinds of methods. Have fun!

[@knackfulknitter]

What an eye opener! I do that with infinity scarves but never thought to do that with a small scrunchie! No more hand sewing for me!

New to the channel, loved the video. =). Also brand new to sewing at ripe old age of 63. Hoping this old dog can learn some new tricks. This “easy” tutorial looks complicated to me as a newbie but I am going to give it a try once I get some elastic. Every new thing I want to try requires I buy something else. Ha…. My tiny sewing spot in my guest room is bursting at the seams, no pun intended. Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!

Though your directions are really clear and easy to follow I found this method to be extremely frustrating with a 3" width band but much easier with wider ones.

[@Tomes23]

I have and still use some scrunchies I purchased in 1991!

[@SeamworkVideo]

That's awesome!

[@MsSavvy9]

[@katemikilewicz481]

Going to try this! But I do wish more sewing tutorials would use fabric that has a clear front and back side so that it's easier to figure out which way they are sewing it. But thank you still!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have made a lot of scrunchies using this method and it works great. I make these for some of my friends that have thick long hair and want to be able to wrap them twice. What would be the best size elastic and length of fabric for these. Same question for thin hair.

[@SeamworkVideo]

We used the same elastic length regardless of hair type, but you could definitely experiment with how long you make it depending on preference.

[@knitjoyy]

So excited to try this technique ❤

[@SeamworkVideo]

Yay! I hope you enjoy it when you do!

[@ccreel64]

Brilliant! ❤️

[@pritijain1986]

Which type fabric is used for making scrunchies? Can we make scrunchies with cotton fabric?

[@SeamworkVideo]

Cotton is a great fabric for scrunchies!

[@jessicaj.1011]

I just tried making a couple scrunchies for fun this week. I nailed one because I followed directions to a T. But I played around with my third one on the fabric sizes and it didn’t turn out very “scrunchy”. It was jumbo looking, as I wanted it however. I’d thought it was the elastic where I went wrong. Thinking I needed thicker elastic to make it appear fuller inside. But now I really think I needed the fabric to be much longer. My measurements were 4x24. 4”when folded. So I did actually cut it 8” wide so it would eventually be 4”.

[@SeamworkVideo]

It definitely takes some experimentation to find what works when you make your own size!

[@jessicakika527]

love it!

[@SeamworkVideo]

❤️

[@KarenLeanneCreates2024]

I wonder what a decent price would be for the largest ones? Oh, BTW: You can use a zip tie to thread your elastic through your tube. Just snip off the tab end and make a small slit with a craft knife.

[@molaodibiky]

Thanks

[@SeamworkVideo]

You're welcome!

[@BethanyJung]

What kind of elastics would you recommend? I would like to try the non-roll elastics but they’re unavailable in my country. Do you have any alternatives? Also what would the the ideal width of the elastic? Thank you im advance ❤

[@SeamworkVideo]

Haley likes to use 1/4" elastic for scrunchies!

[@BethanyJung]

What kind of shirt is Sarai wearing?? It is great!

[@SeamworkVideo]

It's a top from Doen: shopdoen.com/products/june-top-black

[@ategetho]

@Seamwork a Awesome, thank you! Just an idea but that kind of top could be an awesome pattern for Seamwork! Love some good gathering.

[@SeamworkVideo]

@@ategetho The Madhu top has a somewhat similar look, but with elastic rather than binding. It's not quite as billowy, but the silhouette isn't that different if you like the gathered look. I bet you could even size up for more volume! Plus, it's an easy make! www.seamwork.com/catalog/madhu

[@traybaybay]

What's the best elastic for super thick hair - I hate when they stretch out too wide to wear on my wrist or when they're too restricted to allow me to do my normal bun.

[@SeamworkVideo]

I'm not sure! I would get a few different widths and experiment with what feels most comfortable.

[@terrypauloregon]

I haven’t watched all of this yet. But my question is do you have different sizes for different amounts of hair? My daughter has long and thick hair but daughter has thinner hair.

[@SeamworkVideo]

There are a few size suggestions -- you can totally customize the sizes on these.

[@bean0615]

Substitute chopsticks that are still together and put the elastic in the slit for a substitute bodkin!

[@SeamworkVideo]

Cool tip!

[@starrspoter]

what about the hand held sewing machines

[@SeamworkVideo]

It might be hard to use this technique if you also have to hold the sewing machine. Good luck!

[@faithscow233]

What is an edge stitch?

[@SeamworkVideo]

An edgestitch is stitching that happens right on the edge of a seam.

Can you give me the measures in cm please

[@SeamworkVideo]

Sure! Try 101cm x 15cm for a jumbo, 71cm x 10cm for a regular, and 46cm x 8cm for a mini.

[@alessandrafigari1321]

Could you please tel me the sizes of elastic for the jumbo and classic scrunchies? I didn’t understand

[@SeamworkVideo]

All of the sizes call for an 8" length of elastic.

[@naseeramalik]

to me its more harder then the common method.

[@SeamworkVideo]

The fun thing about sewing is that there are so many ways to achieve the same result. You can choose whichever way works best for you!
