The lining of your Greek fisherman's cap not only adds a layer of comfort but also enhances the overall structure and look. Here's how to attach it with enthusiasm:
Materials Needed:
- Your cap's outer fabric (you'll learn to make this in the video tutorial)
- A lining fabric (choose something soft and breathable)
- Sewing machine or needle and thread
- Pins
- Scissors
Step 1: Prepare Your Lining
Flip your lining inside out and lay it on top of your cap's outer layer - right sides facing and aligning the raw edges. Make sure to enclose the brim between the two fabric layers. Pin in place.
Step 2: Pin and Sew
Using your sewing machine or a trusty needle and thread, stitch along the edge, leaving an opening for turning. It's important that this opening be wide enough for the brim of your cap to fit through.
Step 3: Turn and Finish
Carefully turn your cap inside out through the opening you left. Gently push out the curves, and then stitch the opening closed. Voilà! Your lining is beautifully attached.
Now, with your lining securely in place, your Greek fisherman's cap is well on its way to becoming a fabulous fall fashion statement.
