I saw this tutorial for Cloth Hair Tie (scrunchie) which I am going to sew soon, probably use my new sewing machine :)  :

I don't have hair long enough to use it but could give them to my nieces and friends..  :)

The tutorial brought me to an educative website with pictures and steps on how do different type of stitches by hand:
