We will tell you how to sew the lining to the cap yourself.
Preparation for work
In the process of preparatory work, it is necessary to choose the material from which the lining will be made. And also prepare the necessary tools and devices. Necessary measurements should be made in advance to build the pattern.
Lining material
In order for the hat to fulfill its functions, the lining fabric should be dense, warm and windproof. The fabric should also meet several requirements.
- Be comfortable and lightweight.
- Have a small percentage of electrostaticity.
- Possess high strength and wear resistance.
- Have a hypoallergenic composition.
Usually, preparing for the fall, fleece or fleece is used for this purpose .
Knitted fabrics are very convenient to use: they are well sewn and washed. These materials stretch perfectly and are especially soft and light.
Fleece is a comfortable and flexible material that dries quickly.
But the color of the lining can be absolutely any and depends only on the imagination of the master. Some people like monophonic materials and select them according to the color of the product. You can create interesting contrasting combinations of lining and caps.
REFERENCE! The consumption of tissue depends on the volume of the head and the design features of the product.
Usually enough 50-60 cm of material.
Materials and Tools
You may need the following things to work.
- The cloth.
- Threads.
- Scissors.
- Hand needle.
- Sewing machine.
- Chalk or a piece of soap.
How to make a lining pattern
To make a lining, the following measurements are required, which are removed by a hat.
- Cap girth . It should be borne in mind that the product can have a beautiful and bright lapel, so the lining is usually not sewn to the very edge of the knitted hat. Girth is measured taking into account this lapel.
- Product Height
- The place where the cap begins to narrow . This measure depends on the shape of the cap.
Pattern options
Patterns can be of different types.
- You can draw a pattern on paper according to the measurements taken .
- You can simply circle the hat without taking measurements . For this, the fabric is folded in two layers with the face inward. Then they put a hat on it and slightly straighten it, holding it with a palm. You can circle the contour with soap or sewing chalk.
- Many make patterns of six triangles and connect them .
- There is another way to give the crown of the lining the desired shape. To do this, make two tucks . This method requires much less material, and it is much faster. Tucks can be drawn by hand, departing from the crown downward from 5 to 7 cm long. Between the middle of the tucks leave about 5-7 cm. Their depth should be no more than 2.5 cm. To repeat the same location of the tucks on another part, their edges marked with pins and then also drawn by hand.
Lining
Next, the pattern is cut out and the process of joining the parts of the pad begins.
Before this , the obtained tucks are stitched . All seams are best connected using a machine or overlock. Excess material can be cut off so that the seams do not puff inside the cap and do not create excess thickness.
On allowances you can make uniform notches, not reaching the edge of the seam a few millimeters.
An important point is the processing of seams with an iron . This action is definitely not worth ignoring. Tucks are ironed inward.
Stitching the lining in the hat
Knowing the technology, you can sew a lining in a hat very quickly.
- First, with the help of a thread and a needle, they are joined at the crown, making a couple of strong stitches. This will fix the lining inside the cap.
- Care should be taken to ensure that the front and rear parts of the pad and caps coincide with each other . They also need to be sewn together with a pair of stitches.
- Next, the lining is evenly distributed over the surface of the cap, fixing it with pins .
- Then they begin to sew it to the cap with hidden stitches.
- At the end of the work, remove all unnecessary stitches with scissors and wash the resulting hat.
IMPORTANT! The use of blind seams allows you to firmly connect two things.
The technique is very simple, it can be mastered even without special sewing skills.
Useful Tips
There are a couple more subtleties that should be mentioned.
- In the process of constructing a lining pattern, allowances for seams usually do not, because it should be slightly smaller in size than the cap itself. This allows the podkadka not to puff and lie flat inside the product. This rule applies mainly to knitted stretch fabrics.
- In some cases, the lining must be measured per person, especially if the fabric does not have tensile properties.
- If there are ears on the cap, they need to be outlined, leaving allowances for seams about 1 cm .
- The sewing process can be much simpler and more convenient if there is a mannequin head. For these purposes, you can also use the usual three-liter jar.
- In the process of ironing seams, be sure to ensure that work is carried out from the wrong side. This will help to avoid marks from the iron and other unpleasant stains on the front side of the product. Especially capricious to heat treatment is fleece.
Thus, you can warm your favorite knitted hat with your own hands very quickly. We hope that this article was useful and will help prepare the product for the cold season.
