How to sew a hat for yourself and your child.

Without a hat, neither in winter nor in summer. At the same time, I would very much like to have for each fur coat and jacket a new outfit, suitable for color and performance models. To be able to change the headpiece as often as a down jacket, you will need to learn how to sew a cap yourself. Having sewing skills and various flaps of fur or other suitable material, you can create a real exclusive thing. But let's look at the order of production options for different models.

How to sew a hat from a knitted cloth for a child.

This option is perfect for a naughty baby in the off-season or winter. Our cap will be a rectangular shape with two ears decorated with fur and a small lapel. To produce it, you will need a tight jersey for the lining, a knitted cloth and small pieces of fur for the bombs.

First we measure the child's head. This measurement will be the width of the knitted fabric. The length of the cap can be chosen at your discretion. If you want the ends of the headdress to hang back and form a kerchief, then make it longer. We take for example the following measurements: a head girth of 30 centimeters, a lapel of 5 centimeters and a cap height of 15 centimeters. With this size, it will sit tightly on the baby's head for 1.5-2 years.

Given our measurements, we prepare a knitted fabric 30x27 centimeters and lining knitted 30x15 centimeters. If you have old bright knitted things, then you can use them to make such a headgear.

We cut out two rectangles according to the given dimensions. Before sewing a cap, we will prepare the details of the top and the lining. We put the knitted fabric in half, the wrong side up. We sew the lateral and upper cut with the help of an overlock. We make sure that the crocheted sticks do not open. In the same way we sew the lining, leaving a small piece open. Through it we will turn the product on the front side.

Fold the prepared details of the caps with the inside sides, equalize the slices and pin them with needles to prevent the displacement. Stepping back one centimeter from the cut, we make a straight line along the entire circumference of the cap. We get a tube of two parts with sewn ends. Through the left hole we turn the cap on the front side. Sew the slit by hand. We fill the lining inside the cap and bend the lapel to the outside.

Now we make fluffy bombs from fur flaps. Sew them to the corners of the finished cap. To fix the headgear, you can add it with strings of thread or ribbons. This will allow the baby to feel comfortable and not lose his hat while playing outside.

If you are considering how to sew a fur hat of the same model for yourself and your daughter, then consider the following option. It suits you perfectly. Having flaps of old or artificial sheepskin coat and a beautiful fur collar, you can sew a beautiful fur hat "Mongolka". The headpiece itself is made of several wedges and snugly sits on the head. As a decorative finish, any strip of fur passing along the circumference of the lower edge of the cap is used.

Before sewing a fur hat, you will need to make an accurate pattern of a suitable size. We will show you the simplest method. Take an ordinary package and put it on your head. Wrap it over it with a tape, starting the first coil along the supposed bottom of the cap, gradually rising up. The adhesive tape will make an exact impression of your head. Now remove the packet from the head and cut off all unnecessary. The resulting breadboard model is carefully cut into several wedges or, after making one side cut, slightly cut it several times from the crown. The pattern made in this way is similar to the crown teeth. Which you choose the option will depend on the size of the available pieces of fur for the base.

We spread out the details of the pattern on the sheepskin coat and circle, adding one centimeter on each side. The thicker the fur, the more it will need to be added to the seams, so that the cap does not press on the head. With the help of a nail scissors or a scalpel, we cut out the details, trying not to damage the fur. Very dense undercoat should be cut, retreating 0,7-1 centimeter from the slices.

Fold the wedges face down and sew on the overlock or furrier machine, connecting them to the cap. Now you need to prepare a fur strip for finishing. If you use an unnecessary fox or fox collar for this purpose, then repel the lining from it. Measure out the necessary length and cut off excess fur. Apply a strip of fur face-down on the inside of the cap, call up the slices and turn round. Join the side seam on the decorative trim. After this, unscrew the strip outward, slightly bend the untreated edge and sew it by hand. You can process it on the overlock. If the fur is very fluffy, then the cut will not be visible. From the remnants make bombs, sewing them to laces or strips of skin, and sew to the cap.

Now you know how to sew a hat, and you can please yourself and the children with fashion new clothes.
