Upcycled Hair Tie {a simple sewing project}

I recently bought a pair of too long organic cotton yoga pants.  And to make sure the extra length of organic fabric didn't go to waste I made some simple hair ties.  Here's how...

After removing the unwanted length from the pants, I cut that fabric into 1 inch thick strips.

I folded the strips on top of each other as seen above.

I sewed one side down, basic stitch {don't forget to back stitch!}

Slide over and repeat.

Repeat as often as you have fabric for.

Happy Sewing!
