How I Make Sun Hats That Everyone Loves! The Finishing Step for our Bestselling Hat.

Описание: Grab the free PDF pattern for our bestselling Summer Sun Hat, the Sunblocker by Mad Cap Hats. Designed by Tori Capes, Certified Milliner, the Sunblocker looks great on everyone and can be worn bucket style or with the brim turned up. It is the hat that drives our wholesale business and our summer hat business at festivals and special events.

This video is about the finishing step to add structure and shape to the hat which has been featured on the channel in two previous videos. Thank you to our viewer Patricia who left a comment on our first video about finishing the top of the hat. This comment was the basis for this video.

The first Sunblocker video will show you how to make the hat step by step while the second video gives some options for different interfacings and different ways to fancy up the pattern by adding belt loops to the band and trimming with a scarf. The Sunblocker pattern is timeless and you can address trends and popular colors for each season but simply changing the fabrics that you use.

Tools that I use in this video available worldwide on your local Amazon site include pinking shears and the stars of the show, presser feet for your sewing machine that have a built in guide for delivering a professional level straight top stitch that helps round the top and finish the closing seam. In this video I use a Compensating Foot but a Foot with an Edge Guide can also be used.
