One of its main parts is a high lush cap, under which even a princess can put her hair, according to the director's plan, found herself in the kitchen. You can sew such a cap with your own hands.
It is necessary
- - white cotton fabric;
- - cardboard;
- - non-woven fabric;
- - starch;
- - sewing accessories;
- - ruler, pencil and compasses.
Instructions
Step 1
Measure the circumference of your head. You can cut the cap directly on the fabric, but for those who do not have very much tailoring experience, it is better to first cut out the necessary parts from paper. Graph paper is most suitable. Draw a strip that is the same length as the circumference of your head. The width can be different, depending on the style of the cap, but not less than 5 cm. The strip of fabric should be folded lengthwise, so it will be 2 times wider. Draw a circle about the length of the strip.
Step 2
Transfer the pattern to the fabric. It is best to use satin, calico or something like that for such products. Batiste will also work, but in this case it is better to cut out a strip folded four times, rather than two. Synthetic fabrics are not very suitable. It is better to trace the details on the seamy side. In a circle, make an allowance of about 0.5 - 1 cm. For a strip, fold the fabric in half. Align one of the long pieces of the piece with the fold. On the rest of the sides, make an allowance of 0.5-1 cm. Cut out the blanks.
Step 3
Reinforce the strip with adhesive interfacing over the entire area. Allowances do not need to be glued. Fold it with the wrong side inward, line up the long cuts, and iron the fold line. Straighten the strip, fold it across with the right side inward. Sweep and suck on a short seam. You should have a wide ring. Fold it over the fold. The seam just made should be inside the workpiece. Press the long cut allowances inward. You can do the work in a different order. Glue the workpiece, iron the fold and allowances, and then grind a short seam.
Step 4
Sew the circle with a needle-forward seam along the line separating the allowance. Make small stitches. Gather the piece so that the circumference is the same as the length of the ring. Place the circle allowance inside the ring, baste and stitch close to the open edges of the strip. If the fabric is very puffy, cut the seam allowance with corners, leaving a circumference of 1 mm. You can trim the stitching line with a decorative stitch. The cap is ready, but it still needs to be starch hard.
Step 5
Cook the paste at the rate of 2 tablespoons of starch per 1 liter of water. Leave the hood in it for a few minutes to saturate the fabric. Spread out your product and slide it onto a blank (for example, a can of a suitable size). Dry until the hood is slightly damp. Iron and dry on a disc.
