In continuation from the previous post, I came up with an idea. It involved piecing together scraps of fabric and using free-motion zigzag stitching to create line embroidery. Scrunchies! They’re relatively simple to make and something I hadn’t attempted before. It was an experiment.
Initially, I tried adhering the scraps together with interfacing and then did embroidery to cover the messy seams. The first attempt failed:
➀ Since the scraps were only adhered but not sewn together, a narrow embroidery width setting easily led to tearing.
➁ The scraps used were too fragile for embroidery.
➂ Insufficient length of fabric, making the scrunchies tight and uncomfortable to wear.
For the second attempt, I stitched the seams open before embroidering them, resulting in a much better outcome but taking longer time. I also used two colours for a nicer appearance. I really like how they look. However, the process wasn’t pleasant. 😩 Repeatedly pressing the machine’s pedal, changing threads, and adjusting the embroidery hoop can be dull and boring.
When factoring in the time and effort invested in creating the piece, it becomes relatively expensive. Would anyone be willing to spend too much on a scrunchy? The creator naturally understands the process, but what about the buyer? Will the piece ultimately only resonate with the creator, leaving others indifferent?

1st attempt: Failed!
2nd attempt: Satisfying but time consuming!
延續之前那篇文章，我有一個想法。
把碎布拼接起來並利用Zigzag stitch來創作線條刺繡。
大腸髮圈——相對簡單的製作方式，同時也是我之前從未嘗試過的。
來做實驗吧！
一開始，我嘗試用布襯界來黏合碎布，然後以刺繡來覆蓋雜亂的接縫。
第一次實驗失敗：
➀ 由於碎布不是縫在一起，設置的刺繡寬度若太窄容易導致撕裂。
➁ 碎布太薄了。
➂ 布料長度不足，髮圈很緊而且綁起來不舒服。
第二次嘗試，我選擇先把拼接處縫合起來，再進行刺繡。
結果比第一次好很多但花費的時間更長。
我還用了兩種顏色，看起來更漂亮了。
真的很喜歡。
然而，過程…… 😩
重複的動作、不時須更換線、調整刺繡環，都讓人感到單調乏味。
當考慮到製作時所花的時間和精力成本，加起來的價格並不友善。
有時想，有人願意為一個髮圈花這麼多錢嗎？
製作者自然很清楚整個過程，但其他人是否又能理解？
最終會不會只是感動了自己，而其他人是無感的？
