These simple bands need barely any stretch knit fabric, making them a fantastic way to bust through tiny knit scraps from past garment makes. To keep your seams stretchy and prevent skipped stitches or broken threads, pop a ballpoint or stretch needle into your sewing machine and sew using a narrow zigzag or dedicated stretch stitch rather than a standard straight stitch. They come together so fast that you can easily batch-sew a whole stack in just a few minutes. Raid your knit scrap stash and stitch up these handy DIY stretchy headbands for cute everyday accessories or practical handmade gifts!
