Make Tie-back cap on regular sewing machine

I am adding these instructions for all the wonderful folk out there who want to make these on a regular sewing machine. Please go to my previous post for downloadable PDF pattern. Note: I have stitched this with black thread to make it easier for you to see what I have done normally I would have matched the thread colour.

1. Hem straight edge of crown. 2. Match centre front marks and pin around to edge of crown. Stitch using a 1cm seam.

3. Flip your work over and pin the other half of the crown. 4. Stitch as before until you reach the edge of the crown

5. Press fabric over 5 mm then another 5 mm along all the remaining edges in preparation for sewing a narrow hem. If you make the tie ends square it will be easier than this shape. Don’t sew them yet.

6. Your cap should look like this.

7. Zig-zag the raw edges together to prevent them fraying. Note that I have made a clip about 1 cm from the bottom edge to allow me to keep the narrow hem out of the zig-zag stitching.

8. Stitch around all the narrow hems using a straight stitch.

8. Finished cap from the inside showing the stitching.
