Dude ! Awesome explanation on this video - retired RN here , thanks for this post ! My first cap was made with sewing motif print of corse ! Lime green to match my sewing chair cover ! ( sewing room is yellow and green ) I’m donating 50 children’s caps to St. Judes Children’s Hospital and 50 Adult for older children ! THANK YOU ☺️
Hey Rob...Love the tutorial. I ‘m a retired nurse and just sent in 25 of your scrub hats to our local ER
in appreciation of their hard work during this Covid crisis. They loved them!
I made 130 of these during the first outbreak of Covid. I put a button on each side so the nurses and doctors could put the elastic from the masks onto the buttons instead of their ears.( Some of their ears were bleeding from the mask pulling on them) I just received a plea for a few from friends who are nurses.
Thank You for a great pattern!💕🇺🇸
My dad asked me if I could sew him this since i got into sewing. Thanks for this video, it helped a lot!
Making 16 of them this weekend for the Covid-19 doctors (including our aunt), thanks for the awesome video!
Hi, Im watching this video while we are in the middle of COVID19, and this is something that our first liners needs today.
@@nicolelemieux1625 Are you going to add any elastic? Novice sewer here, trying to help out my ER nurse friend who requested some today.
@@nicolelemieux1625 any suggestions for how to do that? 🙋♀️ Newbie to scrub hats. I just finished masks.
@@nicolelemieux1625 I successfully made 2 tonight with a mix of the videos. 👍
Yes, making for my husband who came home and asked me to make it for him. He very seldom asks for anything. Maybe this will get me off the hook for the patches he wants sewn on.
Angélica Pangbourne I’m sure it doesn’t hurt so that they have more protection.
I made one of these yesterday, turned out good. I made mine differently and would like to share my method. I used a serger, so didn't feel doubling the center panel was necessary. When I put the band on, I sewed the outside edge of the band and both sides of the ties together and turned and pressed them. Next I sewed the band to the cap from the inside like you would the collar on a shirt. I turned it to the outside, and top stitched it down. I serged the edge of the tail and turned and topstitched a narrow hem. Lot less hassle in my opinion. Great pattern.
Thank you so much! I'm an Italian nurse, I work in a big hospital in Milan, and in these trying days I and my colleagues really needed something like your cap pattern to have a layer between the skin and the protective headgear. I'm almost done sewing my first one (white with giant black musical notes), and if it works I'll sew one for each colleague in my ward. Not sure if I'll keep the kite-shaped tail, maybe I'll shorten it a bit. I've chosen 100% cotton as it will have to withstand high temperature washing and sanitizing. Thank you again, your video was very clear, the pattern perfect, and it was fun watching you sew the cap and being able to relax for a few minutes. Ciao!
I'm making them for the same reason... Sharing face shields. I made a test one. I'm going to leave off the extra piece of the Center pattern piece,, and then it won't hand down so far. It will be a duck tail, not a kite.
prayers for you and your co-workers!
I am so thankful for this video! I am 68 and just starting to sew - my wife thinks I'm crazy! I bought my own machine and am ready to go! I wish you would have shown the finished cap all the way around at the beginning, but hopefully when I get to sewing the pieces together it will make sense (I hope). But what the hey, I can just cut more material & start over. Great job!
Congrats Earl, I am 65 and just starting to sew as well. Been making fishing rod socks/sleeves and finished my first mask for a bearded guy. Keep at it , I am. : ))
Earl & Paul: I am a Mom with two boys who are now 20 & 21. I always tried to include them in my sewing projects & teach them how. They were ok with it but not really interested. Now that they are older, they are asking for lessons. I’m only too happy to show them. Hope you fellows are still seeing. 😊
Awesome video Rob!!!! scull caps off to you!! I made two of these so far and have a bunch more to make. I have to tell ya what I've done though, I added little touches and made mine totally reversible by doubling up on the side pieces and used different prints. Blackhawks outside, Cubs inside.... Totally cool... and another tip for the kids sizes is just print your pattern at 85% and smaller.
Rich Hardman Hey thanks for the tip on making smaller caps perhaps you can tell me what is the Eye in the material as he was sewing. I’ve got kind of stuck while attempting to put on the back piece attachment, There was this little piece of material hanging from the corner where he talks about that Eye. I thought since you’ve made so many already and done so well could you help me with this please I hope my explanation was clear. Thank you in advance.
Rich Hardman I’m also curious what the eye part is, HELP! I want to make a couple for my son going to med school but not so sure I want the tail. Any Thoughts?
@@MamaChristine I believe he is calling the side piece the eye because it kind of shaped like an eye
@@shuggaraecreation2009 Rob is talking about the little piece he folds back and stitches at the end of the sides. look at video from 4:25 to 5:13. this is what he is calling the eye piece when he is sewing the top piece on to the bottom. you have to make sure that it tucked inside.
@@MamaChristine read my reply to Sugar Rae Bryant's post.... same thing
The best tutorial! Making these for NICU nurses so they don't use up the disposable resources, leaving them for the people fighting Covid19. This pattern is a BLESSING!
My husband is a machinist and has super long curls I am so making some of these with a pouch for his ponytail. Thanks so much!
I love your videos. ♥️
How would I add the pouch to this cap my husband too has a beautiful ponytail.
@@blissfulacresoffgridhomest2098
I was thinking of replacing that piece that comes down the neck. Maybe ad a layer underneath for slipping hair into so they can put the ponytail holder around it and it would keep it in place.
My hubby has 2 feet of gold locks and the man-bun isn't working out anymore. So scared he'll get it caught in a power tool.
All in all, this is a great instructional video. I can always do with more close-ups of the some of the areas you’re sewing like the initial darts- how far you sew up and down because it’s hard to tell if you go all the way past and just how far you go. Also, the folding in of the side flaps when you’re sewing the initial inside out if that makes any sense. I made my first one your way and its grand. I’m making some for my gardening friend and he needs more than one ply on the side panels (lots of sweating) so I’m doing it with two ply on the sides and I’m assembling it a little different, but both ways have worked excellent. I very much appreciate your pattern that I can download. Thanks, Rob
Thanks Rob! My husband is going through chemo and I wanted to make him a doo rag but I didn’t like the patterns I’ve found. They all have exposed seams which could be uncomfortable for a newly bald head. Now I can make a few for hubby and a few dozen for the cancer center where he gets his treatments.
I had chemo, too. I wish I would have had this. Gift it with a lint roller. I constantly used one, especially before bed, to get all the little pieces of hair off my head.
Awesome pattern. Yes, perhaps not the most clear in the instructions. But watch VERY carefully and listen to what he says. It comes together beautifully. I have made a number of these and everyone loves them.
Making these for COVID medical people. I just saw a request on Facebook. I have been making masks, so now I will switch to these or maybe both. Thanks for the easy directions.
I made this cap a while ago and remember I struggled with it. I had another request to make one and thought i could whip it up quickly. I had a terrible time with this project. The video is rushed, the camera doesn’t zoom in to show things clearly, terms like, “the eye” are not explained. I watched the video over and over, step by step, I ripped and ripped and eventually had to pull the entire thing apart and start all over. I finally finished it as I figured out all my mistakes. I was frustrated through the whole thing, I’m not a new sewer, I’ve constructed clothes and I’m a quitter. Written instructions with still pictures for each step showing each step before and after
would help tremendously. I’ve watched many videos by Rob and enjoyed them. He made this cap look easy to sew but that’s because he’s done it lots of times. If he could remake this video with beginners in mind, he would leave many more people happy.
I agree. I'm sooooo baffled on that "eye" part. It looked like he folded it twice to flush along side the other part but then at the end he said it hangs out! I'm soooo CONFUSED!!!!!
Is there a written set of instructions? It's hard to sew and start and stop the video all at the same time.
You probably dont care but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest series on Instaflixxer. Been binge watching with my gf lately xD
@Walter Jordan Yup, have been using instaflixxer for years myself :D
I just made it and it went very well
I have never sewed before. I made 7 to wear in my covid unit. I shared the video a lot with co workers. These will be awesome under my helmet when biking and on the motorcycle. I love the "no seams" design. And I have a new hobby I love! Sewing!
My daughter works in an emergency room at a level one trauma hospital outside of Detroit. As you can imagine it is super crazy there these days. The staff is required to have their heads covered so I searched for a pattern that would be easy for a mediocre sewer. This pattern was just what I needed. Your instructions were easy to follow, as well as your video. Thank you for providing a pattern I could print at no cost. It might seem simple, but in the middle of all the craziness having a fun, silly, scrub cap helps. Thanks again
I know this video is about a year old, but just found it today while searching! Thank you for the tutorial! I want to make a bunch for my husband that just started his first year of residency after graduating med school!
I'm very excited to make these for my Harley riding hubby. I'll check back for the pattern :) Thanks for another awesome video!
Sorry! It has been updated. Try it again. :)
@@ManSewingVids Printed! Thank you! I can't wait to get sewing :)
@@ManSewingVids I took advantage of Black Friday sales on fabric and made a bunch of these this weekend! Such a fun project! Thank you for sharing it!
Thank you for sharing this so descriptively.
I’ve been making these for our hospital taking care of Covid patients!
Great caps for many, to include folks doing chemo therapy. Thank You!!
Made one yesterday for my nephew, who's a resident at a hospital in Ohio....this was great and it turned out perfectly! Thank you so much!!
The pattern is available now, i just printed it . Thanks Ron, maybe i can get my son in law to like me with this for christmas. Although he has a big head i think i can adjust it a bit for him.
Hope you enjoy it!
I really enjoyed your video. Making Skull Caps for a hospital and this was one of the best if not the best I thank you
Agreed! I'm making them for staff who have to re-use face shields and don't want to share sweat so much.
wis you had the written Tutorial I am self taught and learned to sew By reading
Great project. I think im gonna make some with my STEELERS fabric for my kids and family... Myself too... Lol. Love your ideas, keep them coming.
I am glad you provided a pattern. I think my computer cut out a few but I will watch your video again to get the gest of it. Thanks
I'm making some of these for my niece who's working on the COVID-19 floor.
Same, for my Dad.
Making caps for male nurse working ICU during Covid19 using IndianaUniversity material. Thank you Rob for making this so simple. I love your passion. Ellettsville, IN
Im going to use some donated leggings to make several of these! I found after cutting one cap's pattern that I can make one out of each leg. The fabric is soft and stretchy. Im hoping they turn out great because they are being donated to a local hospital for nurses and doctors during the corona virus pandemic. Ive shared your video with some others that are going to do the same thing. Thank you for the tutorial!
Just made my first cap, a few bumps in the road that I will fix for the next ones. Making 30 for my daughter and her coworkers in the ICU. Wish I could add a photo. Used cute cow fabric, cuz i am in Iowa
I am getting ready to give it a go with some left over fabric. Thanks
I made my first two and they’re great! Used a batik and on the second, linen. Had to rip seams on my first attempt: make sure the sides both go on the one top piece. The other tricky part is that finished edge- make sure not to sew it into the cap when sewing around it. I do think pinning is necessary especially when rolling it tight- but better than pins, use sewing clips.
Disappointed that the pattern wasn’t available. Hopefully it’s posted at a later time. Woohoo it’s up, and I’m ready to begin!!
Sorry! It has been updated. Try it again. :)
Man Sewing thanks so much!! Excited to get started.
To anyone doing this project today, the pattern is still available in the supplies list in the print supplies list button.
Success! When I first attempted this I became very frustrated. I finally GOT IT! The caps are awesome and loved by O.R. personnel. Rob Appell has other videos that I now use as well.
Thanks Rob, I have a firefighter/firetruck novelty patter to use on this! Please keep the projects and ideas coming!
Thanks for All of your wonderful videos! I like a man who can sew and sew as great as you do!! Love your work!!
This was the best video for a skull bandana cap on the internet, I got the pattern so thanks 🤗
Fantastic pattern Rob! Thanks!
Thank you from
australia Very good instructions Kath
That was very challenging. I used sports team fabric to send to my son in medical school. Thanks!
Thanks for the pattern and video! I just made my first one to give to my husband. I used "las Elegantes" from the Alexander Henry collection. It turned out great and he loves it!
Just made this with matching mask for nurse on front lines-thanks for great video and pattern. Added buttons like others to attach mask to help prevent sore ears
Enjoyed this video. I am a nurse practitioner and don’t usually have to wear the protective gear. Now I do. Several coworkers have ask me to make one for them.
Hi Rob: I did it. I completed my first Scrub Cap or Skull Cap.Thank you for your video.
TY so much for this video!
Finished mine today. One thing I would suggest is to mention adding easing into the main part of the head section. I had to do this to make all the final pieces fit together. Also basted the three final pieces together before the final stitching. I am a big fan of basting.
This is so much better than any other video I have seen on making these bruh!!!!
Thank you for the pattern.
This is great! Thanks and I love men that can sew!
I think these will be great for scuba diving
Hello. I just want to thank you for the pattern. I have made 10 of them in the last 2 weeks for my big guy. He prefers them over scarfs. The instructions were easy to follow but I found that if you sew the little flap section and stop at 3/8 instead of 1/4, that helps no catching it when you sew the kite tail sections together. I also don't remember if you mention about clipping the inside corner to help it lay flatter. I would have included a picture of the finished one, but I can't attach it. Thanks anyway.
Thanks for the tut, Rob! My hubby has been asking me to make some for him, and this looks much nicer than the store bought ones he has (they shrink up horribly). I have some prewashed motorcycle fabric from a quilt I made a few years back that would look really cute (oops, I mean really tough and manly ha).
Thanks for the video. I made my first Scrub cap for my daughter, who is an ER nurse.
Thank you for this video! I'm not a great seamstress, but was able to get through this! Hoping to make a bunch more for my nurse friend and her ER community.
These would be great for chemo patients with hair loss. Flannel or fleece might work in cooler areas. The pattern may have to been enlarged slightly to adjust for the extra thickness of the fabric and seam allowance increased a bit to avoid an uncomfortable ridge at the seams for the fleece.
That is a wonderful idea!
I made my own pattern copying a bought cap. Separate neck flap. And single layer fabric..... chemo caps with contrast band. Frugal use of fabric. I serge and tops ticked the seams . My band is o e piece 42" long slightly tapered to the back. The band is narrow hemmed. Have made 100's for the oncology dept.
Thank you so much! I'm a beginner in sewing but with you pattern and your explications I made a really cute surgical scrub with sloth on it 🙊
The pattern is great, thank you! I had to figure out how to do a few parts my own way but I did it! Made for my BSN son!
Oh my! I love it BUT Oh my, this one is out of my league!
I ALMOST can get this done, but I keep getting stuck on those corners that we are suppose to fold down. #1 I don't think I'm folding those down right at the beginning. We need better instructions on this. #2 When I go to sew near/on those corners that we folded down, I am NOT getting it. I turn the cap inside out, and it looks ridiculous!! Anyone have any better instructions for this??? I am a nurse, and I am trying to make these for my co-workers at our hospital!!
I have a wildlife print with a wolf that I used and put the wolf head on the top. I use these caps all the time and can now custom them with my own theme. thanks
Great doo rag. Had some problems that I solved by watching the video closely again and again. The side pieces must be cut out as mirror images and the same with the band ends, two must be the same and two must be mirror images of the first two. I am starting my second one now and it will go much faster now that I have learned the trick with the pattern pieces. Thanks for the video.
You have to place two layers of fabric on top of each other. I do the center pieces on the fold, then refold and do the rest, with two sets of the band ends
Just made one to keep my hair up and away from my new tattoo! It fits really well, well definitely be making more! Had trouble finding the pattern but did fund it under the supply list.
Thank you for guiding me to the supply list for the pattern, very helpful! G
That gave me more confidence and knowledge to complete my headpiece that has a similar complexity to sew together. What was most helpful for s sewing and fashion template like me was that sewing machine guide thing. I’m having trouble staying on the seam along round edges. That tool would be an invaluable add to my sewing machine collection.
love this pattern and the video is easy to follow
Looks great! Hopefully, you will upload the printable again for us. I will also check your newer channel. Thanks for another great video!
Oh wow, what’s the newer channel?
@@tammilani #Making it Fun with Rob Appell. He’s with Michael Miller now but still puts out great videos
How did I miss this??? I have many of your videos saved, but missed this. My son just had 3 more surgeries this summer and I wanted to make some new caps to protect his sutures. Thank you!! (I think I’ll make some for his Neuro team for Christmas, too)
I loved the skully cap and your directions were so good. I’ve made 6 of them so far. I wrapped the first ones up and they are already under the tree. Glad I saw you on several Missouri Star Quilt videos. That made me start watching your videos. Thanks for all your ideas and tutorials! Merry Christmas!
Hey Cheryl could you explain what is the eye termed Rob used when adding the back piece (second piece pattern) I got total lost here😣 .Thanks in advance
Hi, Rob. It took me a couple of times to get it right but, the end results was what I wanted. so, thank you for this video. I'm trying to get my son to do some sewing as he has a bad back and he could possibly make things that he can eventually sell. thanks again.
Thanks you for the pattern. Great little stocking stuffers
WOW!! Sure glad i found this tutorial! It was great - thank you so much! I am making skully caps for my grandson. He was just diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma and starting chemotherapy Tuesday. So I want him to have some fashionable caps while he waits for his hair to grow back. My first one is a print with cats - he loves cats.
Oh my goodness!!!! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS! Oh I’m so excited to do this. 😆😆😆😆😆
Thank you so much for this well-designed and constructed cap. My first one turned out great and sorry I used ugly fabric. I purchased a template from Etsy and made one last week and it was awful! I made a cap for a small pointy head! I can't wait to make another one in nicer fabric. Thanks again!!
My dad is a nurse and I've been wanting to make him some new ones since the ones that he has now are starting to wear out so thanks! I was wondering on how to not make it without the flappy part. Thanks again :)
Sorry! It has been updated. Try it again. :)
Don't tape on the pointy piece of the center to the pattern. This will make a duck tail instead of a "kite"
Dude seriously. Great design and very Finnished. Actually quicker
thanks for your video, I love the free pattern.
You ROCK! Saved the day (ride.) Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video
I would love to have had this a year ago, now I do I'm not going to lose this.
Thank you!
totally enjoyed this video. love when we get the pattern too. thanks, Rob :)
Awesome skull cap!
Alabama Roll Tide. My brother and son are huge fans
Hi I love love love the scully cap just finished mine in rayon but i am going to make another one in cotton.
THANK YOU SO MUSH FOR THE PATTERN LOVE IT . I ALWAYS WATCH YOUR VIDEOS. THANK YOU SO MUSH .
Thanks. Great pattern, terrific tutorial.
I love watching your videos, you do such a great job!
I was a little confused the first time I watched so I printed the pieces and watched again...AhhhHa! It’s so clear now! Adding the tie is basically like making the magic pillowcase aka burrito pillowcase... great tutorial you da man!!!
I have attempted this and taken out seams three times. It should be so easy yet it is very frustrating. Trying to make the cap for my daughter (nurse) and her coworkers during this pandemic. I wish that Rob Appell would come back and add written instructions to help me finish this project.
Hello,
Awesome pattern...am making for some hospitals in the Boston area...Thank you...stay safe
I'm doing the same. A request came through to mask makers because staff have to share face shields and want to minimize sweat transfer.
I am going to use an assortment of fabrics remnants that I have on hand...but first, I will do a patriotic one. Thanks for the video and pattern - I scoured the internet and found several patterns, but yours was the best by far.
Beautiful
Thanks for the awesome video
awsome pattern love it thanks
Thank you for the free pattern, but do you have a written instructions? I can’t follow the CZcams instructions due to a brain injury, I have to constantly read and reread instructions to make an item. I am making these caps for a gentleman who’s cancer has returned. Thank you again.
Yes. .I have problem following video also! If you could have modeled it more. .so I could see how it tied in the back!
And you kept saying Eye piece. .Did you mean ear piece.
I am so confused!
Maybe a revised version!!
Thanks!
It's working. Thank you
