Hat School - The Rosie Cap - Sewing business WINNER! Free pattern and tutorial.

Step by step tutorial about how to make one of our favorite cap designs over here at Mad Cap Hats headquarters in Canada. Hello everyone all over the world who loves hats and making hats as much as we do! There are alot of you!

Links to the PDF patterns (the free pattern and the full nominal fee pattern) are on our website here ... https://madcaphats.com/pages/the-rosi...
You can purchase our sewing patterns from Etsy as well. Our Etsy shop is here ... https://madcaphats.etsy.com

This cap can feature a mix of fabric possibilities but the basic pieces touching your skin should be made from soft and cosy Polar Fleece fabric. Use medium weight woolen fabric that is stretchy on the bias to make the other pieces of the cap and mix and match to create a fun flower pin that ties all your choices together.

I will also show you how to use a Cricut Hat Press Form to finish your hat by steaming your finished cap from the top and visor creating a smooth and rounded finish.

You can purchase your own Cricut Hat Press, which goes on sale quite often and can be further reduced in price by signing up for their newsletter, from the link on our website here ...https://madcaphats.com/pages/cricut-h... for from the Cricut site here .... https://cricut.pxf.io/c/3732875/15442...

There is a matching Rosie Hat that has a full bucket style brim that will be featured in a separate video with a bucket style narrow brim that goes all around the band to form a hat rather than a cap. When the HAT video can be seen here ...    • The Rosie Bucket Hat: A Sewing Busine...  
This video is about the Cap version of the pattern.

The Rosie Cap has a broad visor that wraps around the cap almost to the center back. This is an easy pattern to make. If you are a beginner, just take your time and make the pieces as I do in the video. Experienced sewers may want to cut and sew the pieces in a different order than the video and that is great too!

The pattern pieces and the settings for your printer receiving the pattern are the most important things along with the quality of your fabric. Buy nice fleece for this. With a rich feel and nice body. Nothing see through or thin. If you use thin fabric that is stretchy, we recommend backing it with a piece of polar fleece to give it body and weight.

Also, make sure you check the measuring lines when you print page one of the actual pattern. Your printer should be set for PDF at Actual Size or at Custom Size 100%. The pages are set up to work on both Letter and A4 printers and paper.

We use the Sizzix Big Shot to cut the flowers for our pin.
The Flower Dies I used are ... the largest flower is taken from the die called Flowers & Vine #4, code 659810 and the two smaller flowers are from die code 659789.
