One of the most memorable moments of childhood is the pioneer camps. Everyone was obliged to wear a pioneer uniform, the basis of which was a red cap.
It is necessary
Satin in bright colors, sewing accessories, tape measure, embroidery threads
Instructions
Step 1
To prepare a pattern for the cap, measure the head circumference with a measuring tape and determine the depth of the headgear. The pattern should be slightly larger than the finished cap, since there should be gaps in the seams (about 1 centimeter for the sides and 3 centimeters for hemming the edges of the product). The drawn workpiece must be in the shape of a rectangle. The pattern can be made in several versions: caps with several seams on the sides within 270 by 180 mm, or with a single seam at the top with dimensions of about 520 by 180 mm.
Step 2
Carefully pin the pattern to the fabric with pins and trace with chalk or tailor's pencil. Cut the material taking into account the seam allowances. Sweep by hand the parts of the cap and try on the workpiece, if necessary, adjust its dimensions by decreasing or increasing them. Then carefully sew all seams on the sewing machine. Overlock or zigzag the edges of the fabric.
Step 3
Often, the emblem of a camp is embroidered on the cap. Her drawing is prepared in advance. Often, by competitive voting, the best is chosen, and then I embroider it on all caps. This can be done using absolutely any seam: looped, stalked or tambour. Transfer the design of the selected emblem onto fabric using carbon paper and embroider it.
Step 4
Even the simplest garrison cap can be decorated with a hand-made or ready-made thread border. The sewing technique can vary from the skill of the master and his imagination. Baste the border or braid by hand to the edge of the product or just above it, and then sew on a typewriter. Iron the finished product thoroughly.
