We sew the cap ourselves
If you do not have the opportunity to purchase a hat in the store, then try sewing it. Men's caps-eight-skins make it easy. This will require a basic fabric - about half a meter, as much for the lining, suitable for the color of the thread and a little more non-woven fabric. Naturally, you need to take a measurement. First, the diameter of the head, and secondly, the distance from the back of the head to the forehead. Third, the width of the latter. Now you can make a pattern. The eight-piece cap is cut out (you can see the photo of the style here) as follows. The width of each wedge at the bottom should be 1/8 of the total head coverage. Mark on this segment a point in the middle and draw another line perpendicular to the first. Its length should be equal to half the distance measured from the occipital to the frontal part. Then all points should be connected. The angle of the vertex of the triangle should be 60 °. To cut out the visor, set aside the section corresponding to the width of your forehead, and connect the dots with smooth semicircles resembling a month. And, finally, the base or the band. Its length is the girth of your head, and the height is at least 2-3 cm. If you want, do it as high as you like. Now, on the wrong side of the fabric, applying the template, circle the elements of the cap. Then cut them out. Do not forget to leave the details on each side for half a centimeter on the seams. You should get: wedges - 8, crescents for the visor - 2, straps for the band - 1. Make a copy of the details of the non-woven fabric and the lining fabric. They should be combined with the base material with the help of an iron. Then sweep the elements of the cap, try on. If everything is fine, then get to work and sew it up. In order for the visor to have a good shape, put a piece of cardboard into it. Sew a lining.
