To sew this type of criminal attire, you only need to know 2 parameters:

  1. Head circumference. You need to measure the maximum circumference of your head - the measurement is taken along the forehead above the eyebrows and along the most convex part of the back of the head. In this case, you need to pull the measuring tape tightly.
  2. Cap depth. The distance from the beginning of the earlobe to the middle of the crown. These measurements determine the size according to standard norms.

Pattern, cutting of the product

First, you should choose the fabric for work. It is worth considering that the headdress will be used mainly in the sun and in hot weather. Therefore, it is recommended to take only natural lightweight fabrics.

Next, measurements are taken, and only then the model is selected. It is worth considering at the time of selecting a sketch, for whom the item will be made. The most difficult and responsible stage will be the preparation of the pattern.

When the pattern of the Panama hat is ready, you can start cutting the fabric. You need to take into account the direction of the main thread of the fabric. If the parts do not match in this regard, the product may become deformed. During wear, the item will definitely be washed, so it is recommended to check the material for shrinkage.

  3. Place the outer and inner brim with the right sides together and stitch. Work is done from the outer side of the cuts.
  4. Cut off excess fabric from the seams and trim them to 5–7 mm. Turn the piece right side out, straighten the trimmed edge, and iron all seams.

  1. First, you need to create a sketch, and then a more detailed model, which is formed in accordance with the parameters of the head.
  2. Initially, the brim of the Panama hat is stitched. The line should run parallel to the edge, in several rows. The more rows of line are created, the denser and stiffer the brim or individual parts will be.
  3. The lining of the Panama hat is cut on the bias (the front parts are cut along the grain line), but using the same patterns.
  4. The next step is assembly. Since the top of the Panama consists of side parts (crown) and bottom, the side parts are first sewn together, and then the bottom is sewn to the side parts.
  5. Sew the brim, finishing the edges.
  6. All actions are repeated with the lining, which is sewn to the main part.

Please note! For precise alignment of the crown with the brim, 4 marks are applied to the crown and brim. When sewing, you need to try to match these points.
