How to sew a cap based on ready-made caps
To start working best with ripping the old caps on the individual components. You should get such details as wedges, strap and visor. Then fold the fabric in two and put details on it. When you do this, be sure to observe the correct fractional location of the thread. Carefully trace the parts and cut them out along the contours. As a result, you get six wedges (4 must be the correct form, and 2 neck). Will also be 4 bars and a couple of parts for the visor.
After cutting, you can start stitching elements. To start the wedges, you will need to sew together, and then sheathing the sun visor on both sides. Around the perimeter of the visor you need to pave the stitching used to secure the plastic. Try to make it as smooth. Details of an old baseball caps will act as a lining for the new caps. Wedges will need to connect the pins and then to sew.
Then double-strips and remove them with pins. Make the stitching and sew on both strips of Velcro. The hat and the lining connect to the face. Make sure that they fully coincide. In the rear part of the insert strips with Velcro.
