This blog is entirely about Hats.

Nurses Hats

 

Technically I should make a Scrub hat but to be honest I am getting a little bored with all the Cords. Therefore I looked up Nurses Hats and found the above Poster.

Paper Hats

After trawling through the ‘How to make a Hat’ sections on the internet and getting really mixed up I decided just to try and do my own.

I made two versions out of Paper and then tried to scale it down so it was Mademoiselle Marionette sized.

Paper Template

I preferred the T Shaped version of the Hat. I therefore undid my mini version. I found some material Pinned it to it and then Cut out.

Hemmed T Shape

 

I Hemmed the T Shape. I then turned up the Bottom as it is in the Paper Version. This left the untidy side on the Front. I decided I was not happy with it.

Blue Hemmed

 

My solution was to Sew Bias Binding all around the Edges. I thought Blue would be a nice colour. 

Overlapped Blue

 

I flipped the material over. I Overlapped the two Top Corners and Sewed together.

Press Stud Blue

 

I next added a Press Stud. This was a bit fiddly so after doing the one on the Top I turned it inside out to be able to add the second more easily.

The important thing doing this was checking that the Stud Halves would connect prior to Sewing the second one in place.

Front View

 

After turning the material the correct away around I fastened the Stud together. I then turned up the Front of the Binding as it should be.

Technically there really shouldn’t be Blue tips on the Hat but I couldn’t avoid that. Also a stray hair seemed to have snuck into the picture. At least it is the correct colour.

Back View

This is the view at the Back of the Nurses Hat. I am pretty pleased with the result. Obviously like the Mask it will have to be Pinned in place.
