A Dad Flat Cap

My Dads birthday is coming up very soon.

Ever since I can remember, he's always worn this style of Flat Cap, but I'm quite sure he's never ever had a version that was handmade.

I chose some random wool blend from the stash for the outer cap, and my Linear Design fabric for the inner cap.
 

I love this one even better than the one that I made for myself a few weeks ago.

If you can sew around a curve, then you can definitely have a go at this, and it's an instant download!

A Flat Cap on a Sunday afternoon

I put my hand up to pattern test the new You Sew Girl Flat Cap pattern on the weekend.

I love this style of hat. I have a really small head (I made the smallest size in the pattern), so it's hard to find a hat that suits.

It's also notoriously difficult to photograph a hat effectively!

I used a really thin wool suiting fabric - it's actually the exact same fabric that I used for my beret.

I wanted to have a bit of fun on the interior (business on the outside / party on the inside), so I lined it with my Clark Loves Edna fabric

I'm totally in love with it, so now I'm going to make some for the nephews.
If you like a bit of instant gratification sewing, then this Flat Cap pattern is available for instant download. Gotta love technology!
