Each generation has its own associations with the word cap - military, pioneer, headdresses of flight attendants and salesmen. They are different, but give the image rigor and completeness. Let us consider in detail how to cut out and sew a cap with your own hands for adults or children (for a holiday or a matinee).
Selection of materials and tools
The main criterion for selection is density of matter. Soft, flowing material will not give clear, laconic folds that are inherent in any cap style, so we sweep them away right away.
Suitable for us:
- cloth;
- dense linen, cotton;
- felt;
- drape;
- suede leather.
Required tools:
- sewing machine;
- scissors;
- measuring tape;
- chalk.
In addition, you will need an adhesive pad.
Reference! The headdress is a slightly flattened cap; it was part of the uniform of the armed forces of different countries. At the moment, part of the uniform of flight attendants of many airlines and restaurant chefs. Headdress of some children's organizations.
