[This tutorial is in response to a question from Anne posted yesterday.]Here are the two cut cap pieces. [There should be more curve to the brim but that part of piece A was cut off in Anne's photo.] The large piece will form the top of the cap. The rounded edge goes to the back of the head. The two side flaps fold down and are joined to the rounded strip which will hug the back of the head when the hat is put on.
Determine the seam on the hugger strip and hat top piece where they will be sewn together. Fold each piece in half to mark the center. Place the pieces right side facing so the pins match up.
Work from the center to pin the hugging strip to the hat top. Notice that the strip stands away from the hat top. Varying angles and curves in pattern pieces which are sewn together are designed to create the required angles in the finished item of clothing.
Attach the hugging strip to the hat top piece, sewing from one end to the other. If you feel the pieces getting out of synch, hold them together both above and below the machine presser plate to help guide the assembly through the machine as you so carefully pinned it.
The result is a nice smooth curved seam at the back of the cap.
In Part 2 Monday we’ll tackle the tricky angle which Anne had trouble with.Tomorrow is Artsy Bloggers Day and we have lots of fun in store for you!
