Thank you for the tutorial! I have some scrap linen fabric that I finally can piece together from my previous projects. And finally the part of me that never wants to throw away scrap fabric is at ease😊
This looks so easy! I bet it would make a fantastic first sewing project for my boys. They would all love wearing them. But we may want to stitch something in there so we can tell them apart if the ribbons fall off. This is great and would be a fun way to get them into doing costumes with me!
They did wear wool knit caps, but I imagine a wool cloth cap would not be unheard of. In respects to colors yes, I have seen blue and brown as well as stripes.
The four part caps tend to be found in fancier caps, with embroidery etc. We are unaware of any 18thc caps that are reversible. This sounds as if it is a modern adaption
To avoid awkwardness of felling the 'tube', could you just hem each side and whip stitch them together? Doesn't seem like the cap is really going to get pulled/tugged on that seam as the brim will be turned up to taking the most wear & tear?
We give a short history on the video. You find caps being worn during the day by working men and at night in leisure or even in sleep. There is not a article or book that we are aware of that deals directly with caps.

Love that idea! My boys learned to sew with simple projects like this one!
I’d been meaning to sew one of these for ages! Thank you so much for the tutorial, it was super helpful ☺️
Loved the demo and history
This is a great beginner's project. And such a great job Brooke!
Awesome as always! Looks like a great idea for a baby cap too. 😻
H'mm, I have some left over wool crepe and this cap would be perfect with a pom pom. Thank you. Stay warm everyone. :)
Thank you!
Enjoyed that!
This looks like fun. After our freezing week (Tx) I'm ready to make a few! Hmmm, wonder if I could get out cats to wear them 😂
Excellent tutorial. Your sew-along videos are fantastic. A great way to learn. I'm going to tackle the shirt next. Thank you!
Hello Brooke! Did you make your lovely black and white jacket/top? Pattern info., if any? Thank you
Isn't it fun. No i did not make it but i'm planning on trying to pattern it and make another in the future!
I will try! Are these ever done in other colors or was white the most common? Could they be made in lightweight wool?

Can you do a tutorial on the men's linen caps that have four panels and are reversible?

Perhaps?
Would these have also been worn my lower class women who had no choice but to seek out work? Say ladies in mines and such?
That is an excellent question! I can’t recall seeing women in these caps but I won’t say never. Worth paying extra attention to contemporary art!
Does this style of cap have a name?

@@annarboriter do you have any links or info about the history of these? Who would wear them? When they would wear them?
