25. Cap making
object to object


Initially I wanted to try to incorporate military elements into my cap, so I learned to sew cargo pockets. This pocket took me roughly 2 hours to learn how to make.

By making the first sample, I realized the importance of production order and tools. I didn't follow the tutorial for some of the steps, so some of the stitching was wrong or imperfect.

Then by comparing the first cap I made with the cap of the famous brand RRL, I felt the difference in cap making. For example, I found that my sample hat couldn't hold up. That was because the front piece of the hat wasn't hard enough. Hat manufacturers will add embroidery, fusible web or even additional pieces of fabric to the front panel to stiffen the front panel and make the hat more straight. The bias tape inside the hat is not only to cover the connection between the panels, but also to make the hat stand upright. At the same time, the production of hat sweatbands is also particular. There are four stitches in total that give the sweatband its shape. I also learned the connection between the leather buckle and the hat in this part.

When making the final cap and sewing the bias tape, I made my own paper tape track to make the bias tape go out in a straight line. This makes sewing a lot more stable. I made the padding of cap brime using folders.

This hat is pretty good overall, but the only thing that dissatisfies me is the curvature of the brim. I don't know how to bend and shape it. Maybe I can think of it next time I make it.
