The current turnaround time for a scrub hat is 3 to 4 weeks on Etsy and Amazon. I decided to try and make one myself. I do not have a sewing machine so I had to do it by hand despite the video recommendation. It is doable. The instructions were easy to follow.The pattern was easily printed. I have long thick hair and the cap fits perfectly.
My daughter just started a new job as a nurse in the O.R. She has asked me to make her some fun scrub caps. This one looks like it would be doable for me. I have subscribed and sent the email. I hope to get the pattern and to get sewing soon. :)
Thank you so much for this pattern! I have tried a couple previously but this one was the easiest to follow and fit better as well. I have almost waist length hair and was able to put it in a low bun and it fit quite easily in this cap.
This is a wonderful tutorial with clear instructions and minimal fabric waste. I am a healthcare worker and surgical hats are still difficult to come by. I tried a few different surgical caps and hats tutorials but this one is the best fit! I have made a few for myself and co-workers, we are thankful that you graciously provided this pattern for use.
Hi happi. It was so nice to read your comment. I am encouraged that you found the tutorial helpful, and that the cap is a good fit. I am glad I could be of help. Blessing, Delinar
Wow! Your tutorials and patterns are amazing. So clear and economical. My son is a dentist and needs these for himself (using your other pattern) and also for his staff which are all women. These will be perfect! Thanks so much for supplying these for us to use. I can make more with all the fat quarters I have. ❤️
If you're not a sewing teacher you should be! This pattern and associated videos are exceptional! I haven't used a sewing machine since home ec class in the 80s and I pulled off a pretty good first effort. Thank you for sharing 🙂
Hello, I sent an email recently. I’d love to make myself a scrub cap for Valentine’s Day. Looking forward to getting the pattern soon. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

The music is from the song Bless the Lord oh my soul, somewhat confusing but there's no denying a beautiful melody. Also nice pattern! I'm searching for some cap models for night wear purposes and since I'm a beginner it's still quite hard to grasp what sort of shapes turn into a wearable item.
Not confusing at all! Perhaps she is a Christian making scrub caps that can be used as a head covering. Looks like a very humble wedding ring - my hunch is she is a women of God🤔. Funny how we can go into a retail outlet to buy clothes where sexually inappropriate and profane music is being blasted (even with children around) but we don't view it as 'confusing'. Mmm🤔
I am indeed a Christian. I put this video together for a friend that was helping me make scrub caps for hospital workers, and I never could've imagined that so many people would benefit from it. I'm glad to read that some people are considering this style for something other than hospital scrubs. I hope it goes well, and that my instructions are easy to follow. :)
@@YLIM7778 I didn't mean that it's confusing in itself, but unexpected in the context, like hearing a specific melody of your favorite song in an unexpected place. Or like the national hymn of your country being played as casual background music in a video when the maker doesn't know where it comes from, which has also happened to me :D
Ah. I see. Well, a little context might help you not be as confused. I put this tutorial together soon after my dad passed away from COVID, and helping hospital workers in this way, while being reminded of God's goodness in the midst of suffering, was a way to cope with the pain of loss. 10,000 years and then forevermore, until I see my dad again.
Hey! love all of your tutorials! And I also love this pattern! 😍😍 I have emailed a few days ago and I haven’t received a link to your pattern? Thank you x
Have you received it yet? I'd be so happy to get started right away but also haven't gotten the pattern yet (patience is so difficult when one is excited! hahah)
From looking at the pattern, the cap side in your pdf pattern looks different than the one in your video. I'm confused. The sides where you turn 1/4" are different.
Hello, Thank you for the tutorial. My nurse friend gave me the link to this tutorial to see if I could make her one. I plan to make her three. My question is that your fabric in the video shows white on the backside. Is that because you used a lining? I don't see a lining or interfacing mentioned anywhere or on the pattern. So maybe you only used it for contrast in the video? What do you recommend? Thank you for doing this!
Hello Claudine. Thank you for your question. The white that you see is just the wrong side of the fabric. I don't line my caps, nor use interfacing on them. Hope this helps!
Good morning. I am finally working on the long hair cap. I made 2 mistakes as a new sewer. One I cut the notches too deep but was able to sew just below the one problem notch and almost kept the 1/4 inch seam allowance. The other mistake and I am not sure what I did was somehow make the cap longer than the side piece so that I had too much material to pin. I got on the internet and found a solution which worked but I would like to figure out what I did so that I won't do it again.
Hi Judi! About the notches, I did bring that up in my ponytail video, because I realized that if you cut them too deep you would go past the seam allowance. But I’m glad you were able to fix that. As for the extra length of the CAP TOP, when working with this long hair style, I wouldn’t force it to fit into the CAP SIDE. As long as your center front itches for those two pieces are lined up, that’s all that matters. In fact, if you’re pining before you sew, I would pin at center front first and move towards the ends from there. That way you make sure the fronts are aligned. For the standard (no elastic style), you do want to make sure the pieces line up at the end as well, and the pattern pieces should work out that way when you sew them. Hope this helps!
The notches did not match up to where they should have. (I will do better on the next one!!) The cap was longer than the sides, but I think I made it work. My finished cap measures 9 - 7/8" when I fold the ban in half and measure from the top crease to the bottom of the cap where the body of the cap meets the ties. My daughter would like buttons added to the caps. Is 7 1/2" from the top crease a good measurement to sew them? I am so glad to see that so many people are making caps. Here in Virginia the ones ordered by medical offices are hard to find or on back order. When available the hospitals are getting what is available and that is how it should be so making the caps is important. Having your patterns and videos is a blessing.
It’s unbelievable that caps are still hard to come by these days. That’s part of the reason I started selling them on Etsy-to try and help. I usually place the buttons about 7” from center front, right above the headband. So far, I have gotten no complaints about the placement. About the notches, as long as you line up the center fronts, it’s ok if the side notches are off. You basically want to sew the CAP TOP to the CAP SIDE up to where the SIDE ends, and place your elastic in whatever is leftover of the CAP TOP.
I can always count on you for a quick response. Thank you. My first cap is done accept for the buttons and I will place them at 7". May I ask what your caps measure out to from the center front to the bottom edge of the cap where the headband ties begin. I am just curious as I have so many to make and want to make sure the measurements are correct. As I said before, my cap measures out to 9 -7/8". Again thank you for your patience and help. Now I am going to attempt the ponytail cap so that my daughter's office can decide which one they want me to make.
Hi Judi. The ponytail cap does take more fabric. Keep that in mind. The half-yard suggestion I gave you for two caps was for the long hair one. As for my measurement for the finished cap at the headband area, it’s roughly 20” before the ties begin. Not sure if that’s what you were asking.
@MrsDFreire- Thanks for this pattern. One of my friends is working in a hospital and needs some caps that will fit her VERY long and curly hair! The download did not include the headband/ties, but I'll search through and see if perhaps this just isn't the correct pattern link. My question is- I heard you say in the video that the overall length of the strap should be 42", but I can't tell the width. Is it 1.5"? Thanks so much for your help.
Hello Lauren. I'm glad you'll be making this for your friend. There should be a PDF for the HEADBAND/TIE in the folder. But, in essence, it's really just a long strip of fabric, measuring 2.5" in height by the whole width of the fabric (my quilting cotton happens to be around 42").
Hello Alina, Both tutorials have PDF links to the patterns in the description box under the video. Here is the link to the files: drive.google.com/open?id=1COcLFaw9AkK-63ZnKB5i0teFQj6xYzCP
My daughter has asked me to make masks to go along with your scrub cap pattern and she wants me to make them with elastic ties to attach to the button on the scrub cap. I don't know how to calculate the length of the rolled 1/8' elastic to stretch from the mask to the button on the scrub cap. Can you tell me if there is a set length i.e 7" or a way to figure out what length I should use. By the way, I gave them a choice between the long hair cap and the ponytail cap and there was a tie between the two choices. The two doctors of course chose your regular scrub cap.
Hi Judi. Glad to hear you’re making progress. As for the length of the elastic, you shouldn’t have to adjust the length to accommodate the buttons. If you placed the buttons near the ears, then the mask will go over the buttons pretty much as it would have over the ears. Also, the basic elastic length would depend on the mask style you’re using. There’s so many options out there, so I wouldn’t know how to advise you on that one. :(
Hi Dawn! Did you use a quilter’s quarter? If so, watch my video on how to cut the cap out of that. There you will see that you need to cut your HEADBAND/TIE basically twice, since your quarter is only 21” wide, or so. Then you would join the pieces together to end up with a total length of 41”-42”. Let me know if this doesn’t make sense.
What is the difference between the original Cap Top / Cap Side and the updated versions? I can see that the shape of the Cap Side is different and that the Cap Top is slightly smaller. Is the updated version a correction or an improvement to the earlier one? What is the difference in the finished product? Thank you.
Hello Debbie, That is an excellent question. The update is an improvement in the pattern. I enlarged the CAP SIDE’s dimensions slightly, and I also adjusted the CAP TOP’s measurements to come out to be exactly 8”x12”. However, both patterns will work out just fine to produce similar caps. Another modification I made was that I eliminated the extra fabric on the CAP SIDE “ends” since I realized after te fact that you don’t really need to finish the edges by folding the fabric twice. A simple overlock or zig-zag stitch is sufficient. I think that covers everything. Hopefully this all makes sense.
Hi, thank you for this pattern! If I use 2 pieces to make the band, there’s a seam right smack in the middle of the forehead then right? Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way to avoid the seam in the middle if I don’t have a 41” piece?
Hi Grace! Yes. There's a way to avoid that. If you see my pattern pieces, I actually have you cut 3, not 2 strips: 2 short ones (11" each) and one twice as long (22"). And you join the two shorter strips on either end of the longer one, leaving you with seams on the sides, not center front. Hopefully this makes sense. Watch the video again, see if by so doing this becomes clearer.
Hi Robin. If you want to modify the pattern, it might help you to watch my video on adjusting your pattern for a better fit. Here's the link to it: ruclips.net/video/3TBYrArecII/видео.html
Hello Mary, Are you referring to the link? Or do you need a hard copy? I wasn't sure, since you said you don't have internet. If the former, below is the link to the folder: drive.google.com/folderview?id=1COcLFaw9AkK-63ZnKB5i0teFQj6xYzCP
Hello Linda. Thank you for your feedback. I went ahead and cleaned up the folder a bit. Also, if you’re confused as to how to put the pattern pieces together, I have a quick tutorial on that which you will find helpful.
Hi Ann, are you referring to the cap that doesn't have the extra room in the back? You sure can! It just takes a bit of ingenuity to figure out how to create the casing with two fabrics instead of just rolling up the single layer. You should watch my "2-in-1 reversible ponytail scrub cap" video as a reference. If you're still stuck after that, let me know.
Hi, I subscribed to your channel and emailed as instructed but have not received a reply. I would love to begin making these if I could get the pattern please. Thanks!
Struggling with the elastic channel, can someone recommend an easy way please? EDIT SOLVED THE ISSUE Overlocked (serger) the raw edge. Gather stitch, pin, sew.
Hello Terry! Yes. I updated the pattern pieces after the video. So, they’re all 1/4” wide, except for the casing area on the CAP TOP. That needs to be slightly wider than 1/4”, so you can fit the elastic in there. But, if you’re more comfortable sewing with a larger seam allowance, just modify the pattern pieces accordingly. :) Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hello Grant! The grid lines on the pattern pieces should be 1/2" apart. If that's not the case, then your printer might have scaled down the pattern to make it fit your paper. :(
muy buenas tardes PROF me puede hacer el favor de facilitar el patron con las medidas en español no se ablar ingles que el todo poderoso la siga bendiciendo
This was easy but very confusing when reading the correction.for the center/ ties. I cut it based on your pattern an it was only 20 inches long but in your explanation you contradict yourself and you say 21 inches but at the end you say 41. It should be 41. Correct. I already cut my fabric and 21 is toooo short
Hi Luz Carmen! I’m sorry my explanations confused you. Here’s the jist of it: if you are using a quilter’s quarter, which where I live is 18”Hx21”W, then you will have to cut TWO strips, both 21” wide, and attach them together to make one long strip that measures about 41” long (after you subtract what you need for the seam allowance when joining the strips). If, however, you are using fabric that is 41”-43”, then you can skip this “piecing” step and just cut one long strip that measures the whole width of your fabric. In my case, that is usually, again, between 41”-43” wide. Hopefully this clarified things a bit for you.
@@MrsDFreire thank you. I was doing it late last night and was tired but i just added on each side to make it 41 and it came out good. my top piece looked huge after i cut it and the darts were off a bit. dont know why since i cut from the pattern but i adjusted when i put the elastic in. overall. much easier cap to sew than other pattern i had done before. thank you
I’m really glad it worked out for you. By the way, some people ave commented that the CAP TOP is way bigger than the CAP SIDE piece. That’s actually how it’s supposed to be. The CAP TOP has an extra piece (for the elastic casing) that doesn’t get attached to the CAP SIDE. When/if I make another video, I’ll be sure to clarify this. It seems some people were confused. :(
@@MrsDFreire it makes sense. the only thing was that my darts on the cap top didnt allign with the sides. they were longer but its a great hat. thank you
Hello Karolina. Here is the link. I’ve also updated it on the description section, just in case. Let me know if you’re still having problems. drive.google.com/drive/folders/1COcLFaw9AkK-63ZnKB5i0teFQj6xYzCP
MrsDFreire I see! Thank you. Still, cap side in pattern file is missing that little extra part on the left as shown on the video. Is it fine to proceed even though the pattern in PDF is different than video?
Yes. I actually updated the pattern, after I had made the video, because I realized that it’s actually unnecessary to double-fold the CAP SIDE edge for a clean finish (that’s why that little triangle was there. Since that section of the pattern piece will be folded into itself to create the back pleat, all you really need to do is finish it with either a zig-zag or overlock stitch. So I cut off that 1/2” altogether, and angled that edge, which will result in a smoother pleat. I went ahead and annotated this change on the pattern piece itself. My apologies for the confusion. I wish RUclips had a way of allowing us to edit videos after we’ve posted them :).
Hello Wendy, Right next to the video’s title (below the video), you will see a very small white arrow, pointing up. If you click on that arrow, it will flip and point down, and will expand the Description section. There you will find the link to the PDFs. I hope this helps.
Hello Viergella, The CAP TOP measures 12”H x 8”W, and it already includes seam allowance. The pattern piece itself is 12”H x 4”W because you place it on the fold.
Hello! You can see a photo of it on the video’s thumbnail. You can also follow the link in the description box to my Etsy shop. Some of my customers have posted photos on there as well. :)
Right below the video, to the right, there’s a small white arrow. You want to click on it to expand the video description section. There you will find several links, including the one to the pattern PDFs. Let me know if you can’t find it.
Hi Cristy! Thank you for contacting me. It usually takes me a few days to go through all the emails and respond, so hold tight. I will try to respond by tomorrow. Thank you for your patience!
Ah. When you are watching the video, below it, where my channel name appears, there is a very small white triangle to the far right. When you click on that triangle, it expands the description area to reveal all the pertinent info, including a link to the pattern pieces.
Hello! You can make this cap using a quilter’s quarter, which is usually 18”x21”. If you have just regular yardage, that is at least 42” wide, 16” will do, if you place the “CAP TOP” pattern piece on its side, as in the tutorial.
Hi again! The total measurement for the headband is 41” or so. So if you’re using a fat quarter (mine measure 18”x21”) you basically have to cut two halves of the headband and join them together.

@@MrsDFreire Hi. I made the long hair scrub cap. Since elastic is in scarce supply I just tied it.
That works. You can also try a scrunchie, or a 1” wide of t-shirt fabric. I’m sure you can Google different options for that.

I put this tutorial together soon after my dad passed away from COVID, and helping hospital workers in this way, while being reminded of God's goodness in the midst of suffering, was a way to cope with the pain of loss. 10,000 years and then forevermore, until I see my dad again.
Hi! I subscribed to your channel. When will I receive the pdf. Hoping to make a cap for a coworkers birthday this week :)
Hey! love all of your tutorials! And I also love this pattern! 😍😍 I have emailed a few days ago and I haven’t received a link to your pattern?
Thank you x
Have you received it yet? I'd be so happy to get started right away but also haven't gotten the pattern yet (patience is so difficult when one is excited! hahah)
Hola exelente tutorial me.gustaria el patrón gracias
Hello, I love it this scrub cap, Where can I download the pattern?
I would love to get this pattern. I have subscribed and sent my email.
From looking at the pattern, the cap side in your pdf pattern looks different than the one in your video. I'm confused. The sides where you turn 1/4" are different.
Is this pattern still available via email and subscription?
Hello, Thank you for the tutorial. My nurse friend gave me the link to this tutorial to see if I could make her one. I plan to make her three. My question is that your fabric in the video shows white on the backside. Is that because you used a lining? I don't see a lining or interfacing mentioned anywhere or on the pattern. So maybe you only used it for contrast in the video? What do you recommend? Thank you for doing this!
Hello Claudine. Thank you for your question. The white that you see is just the wrong side of the fabric. I don't line my caps, nor use interfacing on them. Hope this helps!
Has anyone received this pattern yet? If they have, can the forward it to me?
Good morning. I am finally working on the long hair cap. I made 2 mistakes as a new sewer. One I cut the notches too deep but was able to sew just below the one problem notch and almost kept the 1/4 inch seam allowance. The other mistake and I am not sure what I did was somehow make the cap longer than the side piece so that I had too much material to pin. I got on the internet and found a solution which worked but I would like to figure out what I did so that I won't do it again.
Hi Judi! About the notches, I did bring that up in my ponytail video, because I realized that if you cut them too deep you would go past the seam allowance. But I’m glad you were able to fix that. As for the extra length of the CAP TOP, when working with this long hair style, I wouldn’t force it to fit into the CAP SIDE. As long as your center front itches for those two pieces are lined up, that’s all that matters. In fact, if you’re pining before you sew, I would pin at center front first and move towards the ends from there. That way you make sure the fronts are aligned. For the standard (no elastic style), you do want to make sure the pieces line up at the end as well, and the pattern pieces should work out that way when you sew them. Hope this helps!
The notches did not match up to where they should have. (I will do better on the next one!!) The cap was longer than the sides, but I think I made it work. My finished cap measures 9 - 7/8" when I fold the ban in half and measure from the top crease to the bottom of the cap where the body of the cap meets the ties. My daughter would like buttons added to the caps. Is 7 1/2" from the top crease a good measurement to sew them? I am so glad to see that so many people are making caps. Here in Virginia the ones ordered by medical offices are hard to find or on back order. When available the hospitals are getting what is available and that is how it should be so making the caps is important. Having your patterns and videos is a blessing.
It’s unbelievable that caps are still hard to come by these days. That’s part of the reason I started selling them on Etsy-to try and help. I usually place the buttons about 7” from center front, right above the headband. So far, I have gotten no complaints about the placement. About the notches, as long as you line up the center fronts, it’s ok if the side notches are off. You basically want to sew the CAP TOP to the CAP SIDE up to where the SIDE ends, and place your elastic in whatever is leftover of the CAP TOP.
I can always count on you for a quick response. Thank you. My first cap is done accept for the buttons and I will place them at 7". May I ask what your caps measure out to from the center front to the bottom edge of the cap where the headband ties begin. I am just curious as I have so many to make and want to make sure the measurements are correct. As I said before, my cap measures out to 9 -7/8". Again thank you for your patience and help. Now I am going to attempt the ponytail cap so that my daughter's office can decide which one they want me to make.
Hi Judi. The ponytail cap does take more fabric. Keep that in mind. The half-yard suggestion I gave you for two caps was for the long hair one. As for my measurement for the finished cap at the headband area, it’s roughly 20” before the ties begin. Not sure if that’s what you were asking.
@MrsDFreire- Thanks for this pattern. One of my friends is working in a hospital and needs some caps that will fit her VERY long and curly hair! The download did not include the headband/ties, but I'll search through and see if perhaps this just isn't the correct pattern link. My question is- I heard you say in the video that the overall length of the strap should be 42", but I can't tell the width. Is it 1.5"? Thanks so much for your help.
Hello Lauren. I'm glad you'll be making this for your friend. There should be a PDF for the HEADBAND/TIE in the folder. But, in essence, it's really just a long strip of fabric, measuring 2.5" in height by the whole width of the fabric (my quilting cotton happens to be around 42").
@@MrsDFreire Thanks so much, I appreciate your help!
I like the hat style for long hair but there isnt patter for that, just for short hair with no elastic

Hello, I sent you an email for this pattern. I am looking forward in trying to make this for my wife.
How do I get the pattern?
Hi I've subscribed and emailed you but I'm yet to receive anything. Is it possible to send it please?
My daughter has asked me to make masks to go along with your scrub cap pattern and she wants me to make them with elastic ties to attach to the button on the scrub cap. I don't know how to calculate the length of the rolled 1/8' elastic to stretch from the mask to the button on the scrub cap. Can you tell me if there is a set length i.e 7" or a way to figure out what length I should use. By the way, I gave them a choice between the long hair cap and the ponytail cap and there was a tie between the two choices. The two doctors of course chose your regular scrub cap.
Hi Judi. Glad to hear you’re making progress. As for the length of the elastic, you shouldn’t have to adjust the length to accommodate the buttons. If you placed the buttons near the ears, then the mask will go over the buttons pretty much as it would have over the ears. Also, the basic elastic length would depend on the mask style you’re using. There’s so many options out there, so I wouldn’t know how to advise you on that one. :(
My headband was the same length as my sides...not sure what I did. I printed off and used the pattern.
Hi Dawn! Did you use a quilter’s quarter? If so, watch my video on how to cut the cap out of that. There you will see that you need to cut your HEADBAND/TIE basically twice, since your quarter is only 21” wide, or so. Then you would join the pieces together to end up with a total length of 41”-42”. Let me know if this doesn’t make sense.
What is the difference between the original Cap Top / Cap Side and the updated versions? I can see that the shape of the Cap Side is different and that the Cap Top is slightly smaller. Is the updated version a correction or an improvement to the earlier one? What is the difference in the finished product? Thank you.
Hello Debbie,
That is an excellent question. The update is an improvement in the pattern. I enlarged the CAP SIDE’s dimensions slightly, and I also adjusted the CAP TOP’s measurements to come out to be exactly 8”x12”. However, both patterns will work out just fine to produce similar caps. Another modification I made was that I eliminated the extra fabric on the CAP SIDE “ends” since I realized after te fact that you don’t really need to finish the edges by folding the fabric twice. A simple overlock or zig-zag stitch is sufficient. I think that covers everything. Hopefully this all makes sense.
Hello! Can I get the link to the pattern please? I’ve subscribed and sent email about 10 days ago. Thank you so much.
Got the pattern...thanks so much!
Hi, thank you for this pattern! If I use 2 pieces to make the band, there’s a seam right smack in the middle of the forehead then right? Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way to avoid the seam in the middle if I don’t have a 41” piece?
Hi Grace!
Yes. There's a way to avoid that. If you see my pattern pieces, I actually have you cut 3, not 2 strips: 2 short ones (11" each) and one twice as long (22"). And you join the two shorter strips on either end of the longer one, leaving you with seams on the sides, not center front. Hopefully this makes sense. Watch the video again, see if by so doing this becomes clearer.

Can I make a reversible cap using shorter hair cap version?
Hi Ann, are you referring to the cap that doesn't have the extra room in the back? You sure can! It just takes a bit of ingenuity to figure out how to create the casing with two fabrics instead of just rolling up the single layer. You should watch my "2-in-1 reversible ponytail scrub cap" video as a reference. If you're still stuck after that, let me know.
Finally I found the best video for scrub cap diy!Thank you so much.

Just one quick question are all seam allowances a 1/4 inch?
Hello Terry! Yes. I updated the pattern pieces after the video. So, they’re all 1/4” wide, except for the casing area on the CAP TOP. That needs to be slightly wider than 1/4”, so you can fit the elastic in there. But, if you’re more comfortable sewing with a larger seam allowance, just modify the pattern pieces accordingly. :) Let me know if you have any other questions.
I love this pattern but I printed the pattern and was making the cap and its to small.Did I print it wrong?
Hello Grant!
The grid lines on the pattern pieces should be 1/2" apart. If that's not the case, then your printer might have scaled down the pattern to make it fit your paper. :(
@@MrsDFreire OK thanks. I will try on work printer. ;)
Good idea. Count this first scrub cap as a practice run. :)

This was easy but very confusing when reading the correction.for the center/ ties. I cut it based on your pattern an it was only 20 inches long but in your explanation you contradict yourself and you say 21 inches but at the end you say 41.
It should be 41. Correct. I already cut my fabric and 21 is toooo short
Hi Luz Carmen! I’m sorry my explanations confused you. Here’s the jist of it: if you are using a quilter’s quarter, which where I live is 18”Hx21”W, then you will have to cut TWO strips, both 21” wide, and attach them together to make one long strip that measures about 41” long (after you subtract what you need for the seam allowance when joining the strips). If, however, you are using fabric that is 41”-43”, then you can skip this “piecing” step and just cut one long strip that measures the whole width of your fabric. In my case, that is usually, again, between 41”-43” wide. Hopefully this clarified things a bit for you.
@@MrsDFreire thank you. I was doing it late last night and was tired but i just added on each side to make it 41 and it came out good. my top piece looked huge after i cut it and the darts were off a bit. dont know why since i cut from the pattern but i adjusted when i put the elastic in. overall. much easier cap to sew than other pattern i had done before. thank you
I’m really glad it worked out for you. By the way, some people ave commented that the CAP TOP is way bigger than the CAP SIDE piece. That’s actually how it’s supposed to be. The CAP TOP has an extra piece (for the elastic casing) that doesn’t get attached to the CAP SIDE. When/if I make another video, I’ll be sure to clarify this. It seems some people were confused. :(
@@MrsDFreire it makes sense. the only thing was that my darts on the cap top didnt allign with the sides. they were longer but its a great hat. thank you
Have just sent you an email! Thanks :)

@@MrsDFreire Thank you! unfortunately the pattern piece CAP SIDE in the link does not include the elastic part as shown in the video :(
Actually, the pattern piece to which you attach the elastic is the CAP TOP, not the CAP SIDE.
MrsDFreire I see! Thank you. Still, cap side in pattern file is missing that little extra part on the left as shown on the video. Is it fine to proceed even though the pattern in PDF is different than video?
Yes. I actually updated the pattern, after I had made the video, because I realized that it’s actually unnecessary to double-fold the CAP SIDE edge for a clean finish (that’s why that little triangle was there. Since that section of the pattern piece will be folded into itself to create the back pleat, all you really need to do is finish it with either a zig-zag or overlock stitch. So I cut off that 1/2” altogether, and angled that edge, which will result in a smoother pleat. I went ahead and annotated this change on the pattern piece itself. My apologies for the confusion. I wish RUclips had a way of allowing us to edit videos after we’ve posted them :).

How much fabric do you need for this?
Hello!
You can make this cap using a quilter’s quarter, which is usually 18”x21”. If you have just regular yardage, that is at least 42” wide, 16” will do, if you place the “CAP TOP” pattern piece on its side, as in the tutorial.
Thank you!
How long in total the “headband and tie band” I’m using fat quarter fabric
Hi again! The total measurement for the headband is 41” or so. So if you’re using a fat quarter (mine measure 18”x21”) you basically have to cut two halves of the headband and join them together.
