Pattern of children's and adult's hats: sewing order

A hat is an important part of your wardrobe. If you choose it incorrectly, it can highlight the flaws of your head or forehead. This article tells you how to sew a hat yourself and what you need for this.

What material is suitable?

The fabric for sewing hats must be elastic.

Depending on the style, knitwear can be light or thick, footer, drape, children's fabric, fleece, corduroy, lace, etc. The beanie model can be made of light material and worn in warm weather or from textured fabric of a dense structure - for the winter season. It all depends on personal preferences.

The coefficient of extensibility and how to find it

The stretchability of an elastic material along the warp and weft is based on the relative elongation of the item when the fabric is stretched.

The coefficient of extensibility is the ratio of the length of the stretched fabric at the moment the force is applied to its length before the experiment.

Finding this coefficient is quite easy. It is necessary to take the material from which the thing will be made and hold it on the weight together with a centimeter, having marked the reference point in advance. Pull the fabric, put the reference point and the stretching point. This is how the coefficient is determined.

Measurements for a hat pattern

Since the style is the easiest, you can use an old hat as a template.

If there is none, then you need to take these measurements:

• Head circumference Og;
• The depth of the product Gi.

Below is a description of how to sew a hat with your own hands.

Preparing fabric for cutting

Before starting work, make sure that the material is intact and free of defects.

Find the outer and inner sides. Do a decating: check the material for shrinkage, for this you need to wash and iron it before starting work.

Self-sewing

Sewing a headdress is one of the easiest jobs in needlework. It is important to correctly construct a pattern based on two measurements taken. You can sew the product even without using a machine.

Made from knitted fabric with fleece lining

Attach the sketch to the fleece fabric. Draw a template with chalk, choose from 4 to 6 elements. You do not need to cut them out completely.

You can lay it out like a "fence". Then the seams won't take too much time. But you also need to cut off the extra material from the pattern that is on all sides.

Now you need to make the lining. Sweep the cut out elements with a rough seam. Check that the seams match. Place the lining in the product and try it on.

Sew all the elements together, using the same thread as the fabric. The product will have the shape of a dome. Step-by-step work:

• Thread a thin needle;
• Insert the lining inside the finished headdress with the wrong side inward. For convenience, it is advisable to pin it to the crown or sew it in immediately;

• Sew the lining to the garment using a blind stitch. It is recommended to make small stitches, pulling the thread well. Thanks to this, it will not be visible from the inside.

If the product has ears, it is recommended to insulate them. Cut a fleece lining in the shape of ears, but a little smaller. Insert them inside and stitch along the edge.

Fleece is one of the popular insulation materials for products. It is very easy to work with and also easy to care for.
