I Want One!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just send me a PM..

Wow, great job!

Unfortunately with me it's really hit or miss when it comes to sewing, and I get so frustrated I end up not trying again...I was supposed to make some hats for a couple different people but that never materialized. That's cool that you cranked out so many! I especially liked the fabric you chose.

Thanks! I love sewing. I've been working really hard on them, and I pretty much have it down now. I'm pretty excited.

I want to make hats that are more than just the regular old color with a stripe deal, ya know?

Totally. I'm really into embroidering using the zig zag for varied line weight, and you can also make images with small pieces of fabric in gradations of color. Maybe you should take a crack at that? I just bought a new cycling cap on thursday which I'm going to use to make new patterns off of (with slight modification), and I'm going to jazz it up with my own embroidery since I'm not going to actually take it apart.

My old Campy hat (which I based my first hat on) was assembled slightly different in a way I didn't really like, so hopefully my next ones will come out better.

look nice and colorful

someone wearing them will be the real test

Yeah, I need to find a model...

you can hire models in the classifieds of most independent urban newspapers...

or you can just have your friends model them for you.

I like the blocky camo one. what is that fabric called?

Preface: this is a stupid question. Do you put anything in the bill of the hat so it keeps its form ala baseball caps or is it fine with just fabric?

its diigital camo

It's digital camo, just like the Chrome bags.

Yeah, there's actual hat-brim material, so the brims are stiff and snappy!

Brims / Fabrics.

Where did you get them fabrics?
They're out the door

The hats Shants was making forcibly violates every single hat in this thread.

I still want one.

Just wait, there's even better **** to come!

And if ya want one, just drop me a pm.

I thought that may have been you, I saw them on Flickr.

For those who were asking, this should give you some idea how the caps fit.

i tried making one from the pace pattern and failed miserably. are the four panels any easier?

You did the three panel?

The three panel is actually a little easier, I think. It's alot faster, that's for sure.

how is the brim attatched? its not sewed though the rigid brim material is it?

I need to try this now

tried to do the three pannel. i got the "dome" sewed together but had a hell of a time trying to figure out how to attach the brim. any suggestions?
and how do you "finish" it inside with the head/sweat band and all?

and how the **** to you print these templates off, even when i enlarge to 400 percent its still tiny when it prints.

i printed it out and had it enlarged at kinkos
