I hope this will be a useful addition to my recent bout of blog posts. It, otherwise has a badly crumbled nose underneath! so you get to see this polystyrene dummy head that I covered with a section of some old leggings. I tried it on and it fits perfectly, but wasn't sure about photos of me with it on the way my hair is looking right now. Pin all around and stitch a couple of millimetres from the pressed edges. Press the seam allowance towards the binding strip then fold and press 1cm (3/8") of the other long edge towards the wrong side.įold and press the whole binding strip in half lengthways, making sure the newly pressed edge just covers the previous stitch. Pin the raw edge of the binding strip to the raw edge of the hat on the lining side, with right sides facing. The fabric I used is double sided so unfortunately you don't see which is the wrong side.įind the middle of the binding strip and align it with the centre of the side section. Press 1cm (3/8") of one long edge towards the wrong side. You can also use bias binding for this step if you have any, but if making your own, just cut the fabric on the grain, no need to waste any. I cut across the whole width of the fabric, which is about 112cm (44") wide, and that eliminated the need for finishing the ends of the binding strip - I let the selvedge do its thing. Stitch about 5mm (3/16") from the edge with a basting stitch or a running stitch by hand, just to keep the two layers from shifting.Ĭut a 5cm (2") wide strip of fabric. Align and pin together the remaining raw edges of the two layers. Press the seam that you just stitched and topstitch a couple of millimetres from the edge. Turn over and fold the two layers on top of one another with wrong sides facing now. Pin and sew together the back edges only. I am missing the actual photos for this step, so I made an illustration for it. Place the lining on top of the outer fabric with right sides facing and align the back edges on both layers. Sew these edges together with a 1cm (3/8") seam allowance on each layer. You do not need to do this if you have enough fabric, just showing you how I joined the top section so when you see the photos with a joint there, you'll know why.Īlign the edges marked with a dashed line on the pattern, first pin the centre and side notches then continue all around.
I had enough fabric left from making scrubs to use for the lining. I used a cotton print for the outer layer and since I only had a limited amount and not enough to cut the top section on the fold, I added seam allowance to the centre, so I could join two pieces together without compromising the shape/size. You need to cut two of each layer on the fold, one of each section for the outer fabric and one for the lining.
Although, I can imagine 45-50cm of any quilting weight fabric would be more than enough (roughly 1/2 yard). I used odd scraps of fabric so I have not calculated any fabric amounts for you I'm afraid. Seam allowance is included at 1cm (3/8"). In which case you can use the grid to draw the pattern yourself on a piece of paper. I only provided the pages on metric and imperial grid for those of you unable to print it at home.
