This cap is eight-piece. You must first calculate the size of one wedge, and use it to create the rest. This baseball cap is of the Gavroche type.
As you can see, a pattern is given of one of the wedges, a visor and a band to it. For convenience, these parts are on a ruler so that you have an idea of their dimensions. The arrows show the direction of the share. Print these life-size blanks and attach them to the fabric you will be sewing. It is necessary to cut with seam allowances not only from this fabric, but also from the lining. You can wear such a cap in spring, autumn or cool summer evenings.
If you do not need a warm cap, then you can sew it from a thick fabric with a thin lining. If you have a soft fabric, then make it thicker by attaching an adhesive backing. Then the product will keep its shape well. Hot iron glue pad. If you are sewing a cap with a lining, then you need to fold these two parts, and then connect them with two more of the same. Sew the wedges together to form half a gavroche cap.

Here's how to sew an eight-piece cap next. Fold the two parts of the visor right sides, having previously attached the adhesive cloth here. Stitch to the edge and trim off any excess to create a 5mm seam.

You see that you need to position the seam in the back, and in front, focusing on it, make markings. You also need to find the middle of the visor. Match these details and grind them down. Fold the rim to fold it in half.
Lock it in this position by hand sewing with large stitches. This is how the eight-blade is sewn further, the pattern of which is higher. Sew the band up to the top of the hat.
Insert a button inside and secure the edges of the fabric from the inside. Do not remove the threads from the needle, but sew this decorative fabric into the center of the headdress.
The cap lining must be sewn separately and connected to the main piece. Now sew the cap with the lining and with the band, but leave a small space unstitched through which you turn the product. Do this and sew up the formed curtain already on your hands.

Now you need to wind each one on a knitting needle. The thinner the knitting needle, the more elegant the final piece will be. But usually for beginners it is difficult to use a thin knitting needle right away, so it is better to practice first.
Attach this tool to the corner of a newspaper tube and start wrapping the paper around the metal.
You will need to glue the remaining corner with PVA glue and start making the second newspaper tube. Now you can move on to weaving.
Place newspaper tubes on a circle of cardboard, placing four pieces perpendicular to each other in the form of this simple pattern.
Secure the newspaper tubes by attaching them to the cardboard base with clothespins. Now start weaving the hat. To do this, you need to insert one tube between the main ones, fix it in the same way and braid it in a circle.
When the working tube is almost finished, then insert a thin one into its thick end. This way you will attach other tubes as well.
Having made a small round bottom, spread the newspaper tubes in different directions so that they begin to resemble the rays of the sun.

Original hats
Looking at such hats, you involuntarily smile. Some of them can also be protected from the sun, while others will become participants in the competition. If you expect such an event, we suggest making an original hat with your own hands.
This is done from:
- felt;
- fleece;
- padding polyester;
- hat gum.
Crafting workshop:
- Take a round shape, such as a plate, and place it on a piece of felt. Cut out this blank. To keep the hat slightly concave, moisten felt with a spray bottle and place it on a concave surface, such as a bowl.
- Let the workpiece lie in this form for a night or a day. It will dry out and take on the desired shape.
- Cloth food is also quite easy to make. Cut two rectangles out of the brown fleece, sew the ends of each in a semicircular shape. On the other hand, leave these ovals unstitched for now in order to fill a synthetic winterizer here. Now cover the space on both sausages with freehand stitches.
- Fabric scrambled eggs are created from yellow and white fleece or drape. Make slices of ham from pieces of felt of this color. To give them the appropriate shape, also moisten with water from a spray bottle and put them in a warm place overnight, after placing them on the workpieces of this shape.
- To make beans in gravy, take a tawny fleece and cut out uneven circles of equal size. Roll small ovals from pieces of cotton wool or padding polyester, which will turn into beans. Place the pieces between the two uneven circles of the fleece and hold them together with a glue gun. This hot silicone will also help attach the beans to the hat. All that remains is to glue a hat elastic to it and surprise the audience with such an original headdress.
Looking at the following original hat, which is made in the form of an ashtray and a cigarette, some smokers will probably want to quit this bad habit. The sides of the ashtray are made of fabric, inside of which there is a plastic part to keep the product in shape. The cigarette is made of two fabrics of the corresponding colors, then you need to fill it with filler. The base of the cigarette must be glued to the ashtray with a glue gun.
To make a hat like this, you need some wire.
Roll a frame out of it, making letters from this material. Black ribbons must be sewn onto a strip of white dense canvas so that they turn into the keys of a musical instrument.
The next original hat can also be made with wire or take regular branches for it. Attach them to the plastic hoop using a wire. Now you need to sew a crow or rook from a dark fabric and attach it to the branch in the same way.
Another interesting headdress can be made on the basis of the hoop. Glue a lot of butterflies cut from colored paper or printed on a color printer to it.
And if you need to hide from the sun on a warm summer day, then make one butterfly, but use cardboard or plastic for its base. These materials are covered with fabric or glued to it. Glue pieces of fur or feathers in the center of the butterfly to make a lush body.
If you have a straw hat that is out of fashion, you can decorate it. Glue artificial moss, twigs, fabric berries here. Decorate this pictorial painting with burlap shreds.
And if you know how to make flowers from fabric, then make these, connect them and glue leaves from the same material next to them.
A hat made of plastic cups is no less original. They are glued together, and artificial flowers, for example, chamomile, are also attached with glue.
An artificial feather flower can decorate the following composition. For it, you need to cut a wide strip of fabric and tuck 1 and 2 large edges so that you can then insert the wire here. This flexible material will allow you to shape the tape into the desired head shape. Glue or sew butterflies from fabric here, and the flower will become an ornament for such a hat.
If you still want to make a familiar headdress, then watch a small master class that will teach you this.

- the cloth;
- lace or satin braid;

Place the correct size filler on the top of the cap and glue a circle of cardboard to it, surrounding this blank with a cloth.
Ordinary foam rubber can be used as a filler. It will create the desired shape. Glue the brim of the hat with a cloth on both sides, glue the top just made on top. Use a glue gun to attach ribbons and fabric flowers to decorate the hat and hide the junction of the two pieces.
