|
| With finished edges. |
| Divide your circle piece and hat body in half |
|
| and mark with a pin on each piece. |
| With right sides together pin half circle to |
|
| hat body easing to fit. |
| I sew a zig-zag stitch up close to the 1/4" seam |
|
| Then trim away the extra fabric to make a nice looking finish. |
| Here is what we've |
|
| sewn so far! |
| Fold band right sides together. From the center |
|
| mark 12" and place a pin. Sew remaining top and sides closed. |
Measure 12" either side of the center. You will have a 24" opening in the center of the band, with 10" sewn closed
on either side of the center opening. This is forming the tails for tying. Turn right side out and press flat.
On one side of the opening press top under 1/4 inch for inside of band.
| Sewing the 10" at the |
|
| ends of the band. |
| Band turned right sides out and pressed. |
|
| 1/4 fold pressed on one side of top. |
| Right sides together on side of band without 1/4 " |
|
| fold, pin from side of tail ,across to other side of tail. |
| After sewing on band, pin inside of band, 1/4" |
|
| fold against seam. |
| Turn hat over and topstitch close to top of brim |
|
| Remove pins while sewing, to finish your doo-rag! |
