Although I would never wear a scrunchie out in public….I have to admit that I do wear them to bed as I have long hair and in the summer it gets too warm to sleep with it down…a scrunchie is soft and doesn’t dig into the back of my head like an elastic band does…..the narrow style and fabric definitely make it more modern!

It needs a remake, I’m confident it can become a trend nowadays too!:)

Scrunchies? Is it 1992? Sorry Burdastyle, but this is not something you would ever see me make / wear!

Wow! I NEVER thought I would see a scrunchie on the front page of BurdaStyle. You guys are full of surprises! :o) Now you got me wondering “What’s next?!”

Memories! I think my first machine sewing project was a scrunchie. Making them thinner like this, with a modern fabric, is a great way to modernize them.
