• matting;
• thick fleece;

Advice! Thin fabrics must be backed with an adhesive pad.

Tool selection:

• sewing machine, preferably with an overlock stitch;
• ideally – overlock;
• thick needle No. 100-120, since it is necessary to sew several layers of fabric;
• chalk;
• awl;
• plastic folder or cardboard for the visor;
• optional accessories.

Measurements

We make the following measurements:

• Head circumference – measure the circumference in the place where we will have the bottom of the cap. We leave the measuring tape, it will be useful for the next measurement.
• Cap height – the distance from the bottom line of the cap to its intended top.

How to sew a women's cap with a visor with 6 gussets?

We will sew gavroche cap with 6 gussets. This style assumes an increased volume of the upper part. Such a cap will add youth, give energy, and with it temperament.

Required:

• basic fabric, area 0.5 m², you can use flaps;
• lining fabric – 0.5 m²;
• material for the visor.

Advice! Due to the general softness of the gavroche design, its visor can be made without an additional dense layer.

Constructing a pattern

The construction is similar to a regular six-piece cap, but we add 2-3 cm in the middle of the wedge to obtain the required volume of the upper part of the cap.

• Divide the volume of the head into 6 parts, this will be the width of the lower part of the wedge.
• We set the height of the cap in the center.
• We determine where you will have the widest part of the wedge, it should correspond to the end of the vertical part of the cap. That is, after this section a flat bottom of the cap will form.
• We narrow the wedge.
• The band is a double piece with a length equal to the circumference of the head, you can add 1 cm for the fit.
• We choose the width of the visor arbitrarily.
• Its smaller circumference is approximately 1/3 of the head circumference, but this is also determined individually.

The patterns are designed for a head circumference of 54-55 cm.

1. wedge - 6 parts;
2. visor - 2 parts;
3. band - 2 parts.

Cut on fabric

Lay out the patterns on the prepared ironed fabric. It is important to place all the wedges strictly in one direction along the grain thread:

• Let's shallow it. Allowances are 0.5-1.5 cm, depending on the fabric.
• Cut it out.
• We work similarly with parts made from lining fabric. We do not sew a lining for the visor.

Sew the details

Stages of work:

• We sew wedges. It is more convenient to do this in two blanks of three wedges each, you will get two semicircles.
• Sew these semicircles together.
• At the center we cut off the corners of the wedges so that there is no thickening.
• We work similarly with wedges made of lining material.
• We turn the main blank of the cap inside out, and put the lining on top of it face up. Sew on the lining.
• We sew together the visor blanks.
• Turn it inside out.
• We set off at a distance of 0.75 - 1 cm from the edge.
• If you insert a seal into the visor, then make its drawing 0.5 cm smaller in all dimensions if your machine cannot sew several layers of fabric. In this case, the plastic part will be inside the “pocket”.
• We mark the middle of the band and the visor.
• We put the visor between two blanks of the band.
• We combine the marks.
• We sew the band and visor.
• We trim the corners of the allowances.
• We sew the band to the crown of the cap; to do this, we sew it between the parts of the cap and the lining.

 

Important! There are many ways to assemble fashionable women's caps, but here is the easiest one for beginners.

• We sew a finished button onto the top, or cover a piece of cardboard with the main fabric. Be sure to secure the lining fabric with a few stitches so that it does not puff up.
• Let's try it on.

We recommend sewing your first cap from inexpensive material in order to make all the changes to the pattern and “get your hands on it.” But then, you can regularly update your wardrobe with new hats without spending a lot of money.
