I have lost some hats along the way, so I needed some new ones. The thermometer says “hot hot” but the calendar the stores use says, “get ready for fall”. So when I went shopping for a hat, the choices were slim. I found this one option at Target, but it is a little bit more “street” than I would normally wear, so it became the perfect choice to embellish.
Medallion Cap
Supplies:
- cap
- fabric
- heat n’ bond
- thread
Tools:
- iron
- craft scissors
- sewing machine
Here is the cap before I started.
I wanted to make the cap more feminine. My idea was to sew on a large motif flower or bright color.
I liked the fabrics that had green already in them, but I chose the hot pink one in the end.
- Iron on Heat n’ Bond to the cotton accent, then cut it out with craft scissors.
- Stuff the cap to make it as rigid as you possibly can to apply the fabric to the top.
- Pull the paper backing off the fabric, and carefully center the design on the cap. Then apply the iron to stick the medalLion down.
- Feed the cap under the needle of your sewing machine and add a small tight zigzag stitch all around the edge. Clip the threads, and wear it proudly!
