@@albertoaisu yep defo will do and then when i have my pattern i can make like a million caps for myself. just need to find a spurce for brims or find out what plastic theyre made from and buy a cpuple sheets to cut loads from
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!
I got it from a supplier wholesale, you can find different types online, but you can also get polypropylene sheets in many craft stores (the ones used also to stiffen bags) that are easy to cut in the shape you need and quite inexpensive..
Where do you get patterns like this? I have never made a hat before, but I wanted to give it a try, so I know absolutely nothing about anything. When it comes to getting fabric or patterns I don't know where you get them, and if I want to make my own I don't know where to do that or how to get started. Do you have any recommendations??
I traced the pattern from i hat i had, it’s easy to do, you can just use something soft like tissue paper, pin it on each panel, trace the seams with a pencil and add the seam allowance..or if you prefer ready made patterns you can find some online, especially on etsy!
@@albertoaisu 90 or 100? And what's normal thread? Sorry I'm just learning all this can u be specific or show pictures of the needle and thread please
Oh sorry, 90 and 100 are needle sizes, at least for industrial sewing machines, something like needles advertised to sew denim or thicker fabrics…And for thread i buy these big cones of polyester thread, they’re pretty standard, you can find different brands but they’re all pretty much the same..Just sewing machine thread spools..
@@albertoaisu ok thank you I have a industrial sewing machine as well a few of them but I've always sewed heavy materials like 1000 d cordura but thanks for the explanation so polyester thread and basically needles that sew denim would work thank you you have been a big help I been trying to figure it out for a week or 2
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..
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..

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.

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’m looking into making a digital downloadable pattern, but i’m not super familiar (I always used physical paper patterns) so I don’t know when that would be available!
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!
Thank you! You mean the pattern? I made a quick one for the video, from a hat i had, i explain how here : th-cam.com/video/1jacus3Wul8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AlbertoAISU
Very nice result. So interesting to see something so familiar as a cap being created from scratch. Thanks.
Awesome job!!!
Nice professional video production. Great videos help in trying to figure out a sewing project. Thank you for your commitment to quality.
Thank you so much!!!
Very very helpful vedio for making hats
Awesome video! Thanks 😊

Really nice, that hat is 🔥🥰
Thank you!!
nice work
Good job
So cool!
Thanks!!
Wow! Wish I could do that 🥰
Thank you so much!!
very nice!!!
Omgosh I loved this ❤
thank you so much!!
Which machine do you use?
Wow that just started trying to make a hat like this I’m
Just using cotton fabric to play around with where can I find the brim😊
gonna attempt this but try for my size in a fitted hat (nu era style) rather than a fastener or velcro.
If you make a toile first to check the size, you can adjust it easily!
@@albertoaisu yep defo will do and then when i have my pattern i can make like a million caps for myself. just need to find a spurce for brims or find out what plastic theyre made from and buy a cpuple sheets to cut loads from
May l have a pattern this hat

Everyone keeps making the brim look so simple. Im having so much trouble with it 😫
What are you finding difficult about the brim?
Its easy
@@sotiboy so helpful thank you
Where do you find the plastic Brim
I got it from a supplier wholesale, you can find different types online, but you can also get polypropylene sheets in many craft stores (the ones used also to stiffen bags) that are easy to cut in the shape you need and quite inexpensive..
Hey bro love your video
Where do I buy the material
Thank you! The cap brim i got from a wholesale supplier but I’m pretty sure you can find similar ones online! The rest is all from the fabric store!
What kind of machine is that ?
A Juki ddl 8700
Are you using an industrial sewing machine?
Yes!
Where do you get patterns like this?
I have never made a hat before, but I wanted to give it a try, so I know absolutely nothing about anything.
When it comes to getting fabric or patterns I don't know where you get them, and if I want to make my own I don't know where to do that or how to get started.
Do you have any recommendations??
I traced the pattern from i hat i had, it’s easy to do, you can just use something soft like tissue paper, pin it on each panel, trace the seams with a pencil and add the seam allowance..or if you prefer ready made patterns you can find some online, especially on etsy!
Can a regular home Sewing machine be used or do you need one of the Heavy-duty industrial machines?
It should work if it’s one of those home machines that can sew through denim as well!
What material is that black padding?
The one in the brim is a sort of plastic used to stiffen fabric and give the flexible structure of baseball hats brims!
I am struggling with the brim! Did you make one side 5mm smaller all the way around or just on the outer curve?
Just on the curve, so the seam will be pulled towards the bottom instead of sitting in the middle
So what type of needle and thread are you using for this?
A thicker needle like a 90 or 100 and normal polyester thread
@@albertoaisu 90 or 100? And what's normal thread? Sorry I'm just learning all this can u be specific or show pictures of the needle and thread please

@soldiercoleone no problem! Glad i could help!
Can you please share the pattern of the hat?
I'm not 100% sure how, but i'm working on a video to show how to trace a pattern from a hat you own.
I wonder if it as easy as you make it.
Hey bro is there a way I can get in contact with u? I need help with something I think u could fix!!!!
what size did u used for the panels ?
th-cam.com/video/1jacus3Wul8/w-d-xo.html
I show it in this video, i used another hat!
How did you make make the brim, or where did you get it?

Also there's this firm stuff called buckram or something that does the firm standing finish. Can be found at sewing shops
@@bluestripes6037thank you for this !!!!
Hey do you make Custom hats for people
Never tried but i suppose i could!
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.

Just try slowly in the beginning!
What about the button on top? 😅
That’s a fabric covered button, i used to have a kit to make them but they never really looked right, so I thought would be better without!
Do you have a pattern for sale?
I’m looking into making a digital downloadable pattern, but i’m not super familiar (I always used physical paper patterns) so I don’t know when that would be available!
@@albertoaisu I would be willing to purchase your pattern and pay for shipping.
Thank you! If you wanna try to trace one, in the meantime, i have a video on that : th-cam.com/video/1jacus3Wul8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AlbertoAISU
A step by step videp would of been so much better ..but over all a nice hat ..
Need pattern
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!
I don’t have a sewing machine so I have to do it by hand 😢
Oh! I think hand sewing a hat will be a challenge! But i’m sure it’s possible!
Thanks
Nice work. However, you didn't provide the cutting measurement, that is how you cut out the body or panel of the cap.
Thank you! You mean the pattern? I made a quick one for the video, from a hat i had, i explain how here : th-cam.com/video/1jacus3Wul8/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=AlbertoAISU
Can you sell me this hat pattern
Please explain to more
do you still make hats?
Sometimes i do, I’m trying to integrate them in a collection for my brand!
@@albertoaisu where are you located ?
In Italy ☺️
Very nice ❤
