I made a cap for a colleague.

Hello everyone @needleworkmonday,it's was really an amazing weekend.
It was filled with fun, creativity and more.
I am really glad to share with you the cap I made for a male colleague.

We had a Thanksgiving service and we were to appear in white lace and Ankara was used as our headwear

Here are the materials I used

  • Ankara fabric
  • measuring tape
  • collar stays
  • scissors

First step

The first step I took was to get the fabric needed for the cap. After selecting the fabric, I measured the circumference of the man's head to ensure that the cap would fit properly and comfortably

Second step
Next, I drafted the pattern using the measurements obtained. I used the head circumference measurement and took a height measurement of 9 inches, including the sewing allowance. This helped me achieve the desired shape and size of the cap

Next step
This step was for the top of the cap.
I go collar stays and stayed using iron to make the top of the cap firm and stronger.

Next step
After marking the measurements on the fabric, I carefully cut out the pattern pieces. I then joined the pieces together by sewing them neatly, ensuring that the seams were properly aligned.

Finally I finished the cap by trimming excess threads and pressing it neatly. The result was a well-fitted and attractive man's cap, ready for use.

Thank you

Thank you so much

I have not made a cap using ankara fabric before, I only use ofi but with this, I will definitely try it out for my husband using your step by step process. The outcome really looks nice.

Did you add full stay to the piece you used for the head circumference.

Wow it will be nice if you try it out.
No I didn't use full stay for the circumference.

Ok, thanks so much.

It means it's same process with using ofi to make native cap

This looks unique
And it fits perfectly on your colleagues

Thank you so much
