20 inches long.
Turn under 3/8 inch on each long side of your strip and
steam press this in place, wrong sides together.
Bring your short ends together right sides together and pin,
making sure to unfold the fabric that has been pressed under.
You will sew a 1/2 inch seam here, making your fabric into
a complete circle. When you've sewn this seam, take your
fingers and "finger press" your creases in the fabric to make
them match up.
Get your elastic ponytail holder, now pull on it to make sure
that the elastic will withstand pressure. Sometimes the
elastic will come out of the metal clamp and all that is
holding the ponytail holder together is the casing of the
elastic. This will make the elastic inside your scrunchie
uneven and it won't be as stretchy as it should.
Now, find the seam of your fabric. Fold the fabric over,
wrong sides together around the ponytail holder,
matching the seam. Put a straight pin on each side of
the seam, holding the fabric even for you to start your
stitching.
Keep feeding the fabric through the presser foot while
matching the sides of the fabric up and sewing closely
to the edge of the fabric. You have to sew a short
distance at a time, then stop and match up your sides
again. You will continue to do this until sewing all the
way around your ponytail holder. You will have to keep
feeding the fabric around the ponytail holder, bunching
it up, to make room to sew.
When finally getting all around the fabric, make sure
to back stitch so your stitching won't come out.
There ya go! You just made a scrunchie!
These are so quick and easy to make. I have lots of different prints for
my Grandmonster to wear.
