What is required to sew a cap for a Russian folk costume?

To create this wardrobe item, you need the following elements:

Main fabric. The width should be 140 cm and the length 36-40 cm. High-density cotton is perfect.

Important! It is also possible to use other materials, but then you will have to insert pads, because...without it, the structure will be loose.

Lining. A piece of fabric 30 by 95-145 cm is suitable. The best option is cotton material.

Interlining fabric needed for the visor. Plastic will do, but it must be dense; blanking the liner is also allowed.

Stages of work

1. Fold the walls of the parts, with the front side inward. The cuts must be ground down and the resulting seams bored out.

2. Fold the bottom and sides right side inward. It is necessary to fold the slices, then find the middle lines, connect them in any convenient way.

Important! To prevent the seam from tightening, lower it. The intervals between allowances must be equal.

3. Visor. It is worth noting that both visors must be created using allowances, if we talk about the external cut. The cut located inside the parts must have an allowance of about 1 cm. The permissible error is no more than 0.25 cm. The liner is created without them, since with them the item becomes more “loose”.

4. Need bore seams, having previously fastened the side sections of the band and its parts.

All parts in this step are folded right side inward. Place the lining and band with the back side facing up, then grind off the edges. It is worth noting that the place where the visor should be should be skipped.

After you have connected the parts, you need to correct the edge of the band. To do this, make another line running lengthwise.

5. Connect the pre-created band and visor together with the top part. The cuts should be evenly spaced.This is necessary so that the finished item has a good, voluminous appearance.

6. Using a lining fabric made from cotton material, make the lining.

When processing the lining of an item, it is necessary to fasten the side sections using a stitch seam.
