Sewing Business Winner - Turning Squares of Fabric into $$$
You can make some great accessories for yourself, family and friends or for your small business with simple squares of fabric. We will make cotton napkins and bandanas in this video. We used fabric squares in various sizes to make pet bandanas in earlier videos on the channel.
Find the pet bandana video here - czcams.com/video/ZL8I6yo4xZU/video.html
We will redo the Knit Bandana video with the knit fabrics to make a stretchy headband that covers the head like a bandana - The orginal knit bandana video is here - czcams.com/video/ljXSRUf6hjw/video.html
I show you two ways to finish the edge of your cotton to make napkins and bandanas. The first is the serged edge. You will want to use a serger that can do a narrow edge stitch and if you can adjust the length of the stitch you can get that tight full looking finish like mine in the video. This type of machine may be on your wish list for now so I go over how to make a hemmed edge with mitred corners using your sewing machine.
Industry average finished size of a square napkin is 18 inches by 18 inches or 46 cm x 46 cm. You can use these methods to make tea towels by changing the dimensions to a rectangle shape of your choosing.
Head bandanas can be made smaller and larger depending on the head size but average finished square is 22 inches by 22 inches or 56 cm by 56 cm and then folded on the diagonal so the bias goes around your head.
I use quilting cottons for these projects and there are so many cottons in this family to choose from you can really have lots of fun. The napkins are great for holiday gifts ... themes for Christmas and Easter and Thanksgiving and Halloween are all such winners. The napkins and the packaging lesson towards the end make an easy product to ship. Great for your Etsy shop!

I use Canva to create my napkin artwork. I use the paper layout as landscape and trim any extra centering the seam at the back of the napkin group. I suggest that the longer sheets, the legal size in North America, works best giving enough paper in the landscape format to wrap around 4 napkins with ease. Check out Canva at www.canva.com

What stitch do you recommend? Straight or zigzag? I’m trying to get back into sewing ❤
Krista I used a straight stitch as most of the sewing is just a seam straight up the back or near the top edge so there is really nothing preventing stretch around the head. Hope that helps! Tori
Thank you for this hat lesson, I have not seen any one making a bucket hat like that, I will definitely try your way, thank you.
Let me know if you have any questions once you get started! I am just starting some new winter fashion hat videos and patterns so I will be working with fleece and in the cold weather vibes!! Thanks for watching, Cheers, Tori
I've made so many!!! They're a quick lil project and they look so good on my pups! I now have seasons of Spring, working on Summer and a boatload for Fall and Winter ❤
Wonderful! Thanks for making my day with this lovely comment!! Cheers, Tori
Thank you, always learn something new for everyone of your videos❤️
Thank you Joan!!! Thanks so much for lovely comments! Cheers, Tori
So glad to see you in my notifications again! I'm currently working on my first hat sale. A friend is buying a beach hat from me, and I'm going to be trying the reversible holiday hat, soon, too. Still doing it just for fun at this point, and really enjoy making the hats. Curious to see what you've got coming up next, even though I still have a to-do list of some other hats I haven't made yet. 🙂
What a lovely comment to start my day!! I am working on some more casual caps and a hunter's fleece cap with earflaps that is more like a toque with earflaps, some kids stuff and some dressier brimmed hats for colder weather. I will show you how to work wire into the edge of a bigger brim to give stability as well as how to dress up the basic toque with inserts of wool or furry trim. Cheers, Tori
See the description for links and more information! Thanks for watching, Tori
Thank you so much for your tutorials!!!! Love them!!!!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment and the super thanks Deb. So appreciated. Cheers, Tori

Hi Melanie ... the link is on this page on our website. Just hover over the options under the two pictures ... the sentence should turn to blue and then click and you will get to where you want to go. There are a few choices so the free patterns are the first two choices. madcaphats.com/pages/the-hoodie-scarf-winter-sewing-business-winner

Thank you so much! I am just revisiting this a bit in the new video which will look at some items you can make to start a sewing hustle with just a square of fabric. The pet bandana is one of those but I show cotton napkins and cotton bandanas in this new video I am just finishing. Cheers, Tori
Thanks!
Oh gosh Deb, thanks so much!!! xxxooo Tori
@@madcaphats you are so welcomed!! Love your tutorials!!!!
Just made your "Reversible Wide Brim Hat" and it is perfect in every way. Fits adult woman perfectly. Your instructions make it easier to assembly than most bucket hat patterns. Couldn't be happier....another one on the cutting table. Thank you so very much for the excellent video and downloadable pattern.
A lovely comment to start my day!! So glad you are happy with the pattern. Cheers, Tori
"go do something". Ahahahha. Best line ever.
lol!
This was an amazing sewalong. I got the pattern on Etsy not realising it’s an intermediate level! It probably said so but I didn’t notice. We’re going to Australia soon and my grey hair frazzles in the sun so I’m going to try making this hat in a cool linen. Never made a hat before but I really love this style and I’m going to give it a go so 🤞 ❤❤
Maria ... if you have any questions once you get started please ask ... you can contact me at madcaphats@gmail.com ... also if you need to adjust the size slightly, you can lenghten or shorten the elastic that goes into the piece of the band at the back. Good luck and keep me posted!! Cheers, Tori
@@madcaphats Thats so kind of you. Thank you! I’m going to chester tomorrow, (I’m in Wales UK) hopefully I’ll find some printed linen. If not I’ll get it online but it’s always nice to handle it before buying . Yes ill I’ll keep you posted. Thanks again❤️
Thank you so much for this tutorial….. You are so thorough…..
Thank you for this lovely comment!! Cheers, Tori
Divide by pi? Seriously? Who on earth knows how to do that?
@@kerryhorwitz4093 that is what a hat size is. Makes sense and if I was making you a hat I would know how big it would need to be if you told me that you had a hat that fits you and inside that hat it said 7 1/4 for example. I would know that your head was 22.5 inches around your head, above your ears and across your forehead. The finished band would need to be at least that long around your head to fit comfortably . Just an interesting fact about the business of hats and hat making. Pi is 3.14 for sake of hat making and hat size. Now you know!
Wow such good ideas. Thanks
This is a great little piece of headwear that I always sell out of when I have them in my festival booth!!! Thanks for watching and the lovely comment. Cheers, Tori
I love your high quality of hat making and instructions. My friends appreciate their gifts. I am about to make this, after finishing two of the animal ear kids' hats. At least two of this pattern's pieces indicate to cut on the stretch. Does that mean the others should not be? Thanks for everything.
The parts that wrap on the head are best cut with the stretch being the part wrapping around the head. You can fit the visor any direction that will be a good use of your fabric as well as the top. The top will have some stretch no matter how you place it!! Thanks so much for your question and for watching! Cheers, Tori
Just found your YT channel. LOVE YOUR HATS!!!! Now a subscriber and plan on making some of your designs for future gifts. 🥰
Welcome to Hat School!!! So glad you are here, and I am working on the next batch of videos so your timing is perfect!! Thanks for joining, cheers, Tori
Beautiful, thank you so much❤
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! Cheers, Tori
Where can we find the pattern?
The pattern is linked in the description for the videos ... there are two videos for this hat, this one that is summery and the orginal that is more about heavier weight fabrics. Thanks for watching, Tori
I did get the pattern so all I have to do is wait for the interfacing in the mail and then I will get started making my hat. I love it dear. I can't wait. Thanks
Awesome!!!
thank you so much for such a detailed explanation and all the details - really appreciate it!!! - however please no music which is so distracting from your voice or at least make it a lot quieter !! thank you
Hi Pandora ..this was one of my first videos so I feel safe saying I really didn't know a lot about video making ...still don't buy trying hard to get better! Cheers, Tori
@@madcaphats thank you the video is great I just like hearing what you have to say !
Great teaching nice professional hats ,free pattern is so generous,thanks a lot.
What a lovely comment to start my day. Thank you Gina!! 😊 Tori
Loving this pattern, your video and channel, but my brim is about 3/4 inch bigger than the band. Any Suggestions?? Thanks.
I finally got it eased in after much re-clipping and re-pinning! Yay!
I am not sure why but sometimes I have to flip over the layers with some fabrics in order to ease the two pieces together. It might be tension as well so depending on your final fit you may need to shorten or lengthen one of those pieces to work with your machine. I find that with mine too. I have to put the piece that needs help fitting in on top or right under the foot. The bottom piece is usually the one with the most sewing already and therefore that won't stretch as I am easing in. So glad you figured it out!! Cheers, Tori
@@madcaphats 😊 thank you for responding.
you r amazing
Thank you so much for the lovely comment!! Cheers, Tori
I like how professionally done these are. I'm having trouble with a finished edge at the top. My serger isn't easy and I dont have a nice looking seam. Zigzag stitch definitely didn't cut it either. What else might work?
Hi Linda ... I actually finish the edge with the serger but I don't use the blades. Basically just using an overlock to close the raw edges ... you can try some pinking shears if the seams seem likely to fray. If the hat is just for you, then trim a neat finish, to about 1/4 inch or 1/8 inch from the seam and enjoy! IF you were selling these, I would suggest investing in a proper industrial serger when you can afford it and plan to sell lots of hats. One that can handle the layers with a good feed dog.
Great. Thank you so much. I am going to remove the cutters on my serger.
Excellent pattern! The stabilizer in the brim makes it easy to flip up for wearing while shooting archery so I don’t have to remove my hat. The elastic in the back of the lining makes for a nice, comfortable fit. Thank you!!!
Great for the golfing set too!! So glad to hear that this design works for your archery. Cheers, Tori
I have sewn several of your hat patterns, and every one goes together easily and fits nicely. This one is a favorite for summer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent!
Thank you Suzanne for such a lovely comment!! Cheers, Tori

In your free pattern for this Sunblocker hat what do you consider a Medium Size either in metric or imperial measurements. Thanks, I want to make a test copy first to see if it fits.

What is the name of the seam guide? What brand?
Hi Debora ... I have a video about the seam guide and I just updated the links for it ... there are lots on Amazon now. Here is the video, if you go to the description under the player you should see the verbage with the links. czcams.com/video/IolxVJkJOYE/video.html
You are so sweet thank you🎀🩷
Thanks so much back Ivy!! Cheers, Tori
Hi, I'm new. I opted for the free pattern. I wasn't sure about the weight of the stabilizer and got a 2 sided fusible piece of pellon 72F. I'm thinking its too thick to use 3 layers of interfacing so I'm experimenting with just using the fusible thick piece. My plan is to trim the interfacing before bonding so the seam allowance is just the fabric. What do you think? Also, did you notch the outer edge seam of the brim before you serged it? Thanks for your help, your instructions are clear, but I'm always experimenting!!!
Hi Patty ... did you finish a hat? I use medium weight one side fusible and I use the two sided when I do a hat like the sunblocker where I would add a trim to the edge. Hope your's worked out! Cheers, Tori
@@madcaphats I have made 3 hats. The free pattern is big on me. I chose a decor type fabric for both sides and found it very difficult to “ease” the top pieces without a lot of ripping & cursing. The 2nd hat I didn’t use the additional stiffener and it was fine with the decor fabric. The shape of the top was what I would call “puffy”. Perhaps because it was too big. I’m not complaining, just reporting. I like your construction and will sample more hats.
Hi from Argentina! Thank you for sharing this video and for the free pattern. I'll try to make the gloves for my elderly mother, her hands are always cold. Thank you again!
Thank you Gilda ... Greetings from Canada, near our Capital City Ottawa! Cheers, Tori
What’d you set the tension to? What size needle? Thanks.
Hi Mary ... I use an industrial machine ... perhaps you can share your brand of machine and someone who sees your comment can reply. I use just the middle of the road needle for a juki. Cheers, Tori
This turned out great. Thank you for all of your helpful videos. Love making your designs.

When I line up the seem with the notch the back corner of the band can't reach the back corner of the top when I lay them out, is that how it's supposed to be?
Can you email me with a picture? madcaphats@gmail.com. Cheers, Tori
I love your hats. I don't have a printer so I am trying to figure out how to get the pattern. I have macular degeneration and I need to wear hats to protect my eyes. I can't wait to sew some up.
Hi Sewing Queen ... if you have a friend with a printer the links are pretty clear and easy. Even the library should be able to help you!! Let me know if you need help once you start sewing! Cheers, Tori
What an excellent tutorial ❤ My instinct has been to sew on the crown/top before the brim - it seems more intuitive to 'complete' the top of the hat separately. By sewing the band to the brim first, the way you do, there's much more room to manoeuvre and get it lined up exactly. I'm going to make some of these without the lace band, so am wondering what to use instead for a more masculine look? Maybe a casing channel to accommodate some wide elastic??
Take a look as some of the sporty fedoras on the market and go from there. You can make the hat and then add something at the bottom of the band that will fit over top of the bottom the band. The first one is a learning hat so work out your system and then go for it with number two!! Keep us posted! Thanks for watching and the best of luck! Cheers, Tori
@@madcaphats That's very encouraging, thank you. I will do. Good advice about the first one being a learning experience; it's easy to get disheartened if you make a mistake or it's a bit wonky on the first attempt.
I'm from papua new Guinea and I would like to see one for myself so can you give me the measurements of you pattern
I can't do that as it would take ages and that is why I pay someone to input my pattern and create the digital version that I give away! Cheers, Tori
That is sew cute!!
Thank you Carmen! Tori
Thats a really nice hat you made. I am just about to make my first hat, typical that my new overlocker arrived before the thread! I am intrigued with the way you make the hat fit......You gained a new subscriber.
Thank you so much Louise! Cheers, Tori
