Good job
I love the fabric you picked for it! Do you think bending the bill/visor insert while ironing it will give it the typical ballcap bill shape? I can't find any in stores so must make them I guess.

Thank you!!You don’t need to iron it, you can bend it with your hands, it’s fairly moldable! (at least the ones i got are) I assume if you’re having a little trouble heat would help tho!
Good Job Bro!

Which machine do you use?
Can a regular home Sewing machine be used or do you need one of the Heavy-duty industrial machines?
@albertoaisu

It should work if it’s one of those home machines that can sew through denim as well!
I am struggling with the brim! Did you make one side 5mm smaller all the way around or just on the outer curve?
@albertoaisu
Ай бұрын
Just on the curve, so the seam will be pulled towards the bottom instead of sitting in the middle
How would you get the front panels of the hat to be firm? Would you use something like a heat press? For example fitted hats tend to have a firm front panels, typically where the teams logo will go.

If the fabric is firm enough you might not have to do anything, otherwise i would use an adhesive backing, there’s different types with different stiffness, to heat bond it to the fabric you can use a press, but most times an iron is good enough, especially on small areas..

Also there's this firm stuff called buckram or something that does the firm standing finish. Can be found at sewing shops

Awesome video man, much obliged. I'm a complete noob and was wondering if you knew if my Janome Sewist 721 would have enough drive to top-stitch through the polymer brim and the two layers of fabric? I've been searching all over to find a simple answer and can't seem to find a consensus. Am I dreaming that my machine can do this? Do I have to find a commercial machine to pull it off?

Thank you!I’m not familiar with your machine, but if it can sew denim it should be fine, the plastic brim is thick but also quite soft for the needle to poke through, and if you use a thinner fabric than the jaquard i used, should be less of a challenge to your machine..I’d suggest to try, with a thick needle, at worst you’ll have wasted a needle, but i don’t think it should damage the machine!

I got mine from a wholesale supplier, but (at least in my area) it’s easy to find whole sheets of polypropylene (it’s used also to make bags) in craft stores, you can cut it with scissors to the shape you want..

The one in the brim is a sort of plastic used to stiffen fabric and give the flexible structure of baseball hats brims!
Hey bro is there a way I can get in contact with u? I need help with something I think u could fix!!!!
I wonder if it as easy as you make it.
YEARS AGO, Companies used to GIVE away hats to customers as free advertisement. THEN one day I went to my local auto parts store & they were asking $1. cool. I guess it was the NFL who made the $$ of ALL hats skyrocket. What aggravates me about ballcaps is- 1 The $$$$$ 2 The POS cardboard bill. If you throw your hat into the washer, the cardboard bill will disintegrate. I'm sure the bill could be made out of plastic but cardboard was chosen by the marketing dept. Bastards. !
Can you please share the pattern of the hat?

You can find some online or trace a pattern using another hat! An easy way is using tissue paper and draw each piece from the top of the hat, you might have to sew a couple samples to adjust the shape to your liking!
Nice work. However, you didn't provide the cutting measurement, that is how you cut out the body or panel of the cap.
