Sew Raw Edge

Make a Sock Wristband

Sew the edge and turn it right-side out.

Sew all around the edge of the fold. Turn it right side out and slip it on.

  • Try decorating your wristband with buttons or sew on beads. You can even sew a patch on it.
  • Use socks of all colors and sizes. Some even have patterns on the stretchy part.
  • You can use a matching thread to sew the hem, or change it up to make your stitches noticeable.
