Tiny correction at 2:09 - you should add *one* inch to the diameter of your desired beret width for seam allowance, if you’re sewing with a half-inch seam allowance. (Or add half an inch to the diameter and then sew with a quarter-inch seam allowance). ~maths~ Thanks to the person who pointed this out! 😊 And thanks everyone for watching & leaving me lovely comments! ❤️
Annika Victoria do you think you can make more hat tutorials? i try to watch other peoples videos but no one explains it as well as you do :-( i really appreciate you!~
I saw these beautiful Valentino jeans but they are way over my budget and I immediately thought of you and your "Make Thrift Buy" series : bit.ly/2fe0gJH
Ariel H Same! I literally struggled with making a simple strap just a few hours ago and here I am now like hell yeah I'm definitely capable of doing this 😅
Yes! This is the best explanation for the ‘inside’ part I’ve seen so far! I got semi successful once, but this should solve the problems I was having. And yes to the embroidery too! 😍 Thanks Annika!
I love it that you added all those measurements in cm as well, makes it a whole lot easier for people from other countries like me :D keep up the awesome work!
i’m so so glad you posted this! i’ve been wanting to buy a beret for a while but i don’t like buying new clothes (for ethical reasons; thank you Annika) and no thrift store near me would have any hats at all, so i’m just so grateful that you posted a tutorial 💗🌞
I would put interfacing on the top circle piece especially if your using a thinner fabric, this would also help make it not fray as much if you are using cotton. Hope this helps!😊
i can't tell you how much you inspire me I'm a 13 year old wanting to be a fashion designer and I'm trying to sew my own clothes using your tips and tutorials :)
You should try tackling a corset! They look good with a lot of costumes and skirts. I've always wanted to make one and make a matching skirt with it too!
OMG this are amazing! I now need to make a ton of these for myself 💕 I used to rock berets all of the time as a child so this is a major throwback for me ♥️ awesome work, Annika; you rock 💕
Hey Annika I just wanted to say- you’ve really inspired me to start making my own clothes and foregoing the corrupt fast fashion industries (and also so I can make silly fantasy costumes!) thank you so much for explaining so clearly, you’re a really good teacher!!
I'm so glad you made this video! I've always wanted to create my own beret, but I didn't like any of the tutorials online. Yours is always so cute and unique!
My sweet little gremlin been dying for a beret, its how I didn't think of making them. I think I'll be using fleece or flannel, she 6 so cuter prints are the way to go, and a yarn pompom in top. 😂
Oh my goodness! I have the same rainbows as the ones on your earrings! They're going to be hairpins for my daughter. And I have the same head size problem too. My girl is 6 now and she and I can already almost share hats!
I'm teaching online in China right now, and we're studying poetry. I needed to make a beret for my stuffed animal dragon..hahaa. This turned out so cute, and he's proudly wearing it in a poetry video I made for my students. Thanks for the tutorial.
Oooooh this looks like it'll be fun, looks like I have to get good at sewing so I can do this without jamming the machine. I love berets, and need more of them (that hopefully fit better than the one I wear almost constantly, which is an awesome hell cat punks one I got at the start of the year when I was in Japan with Jambi)
Sachi the Cat ヽ(*≧ω≦)ノ couple quick tips on how to prevent jams (trust me, i had to relearn these too) 1. Dont cut your thread "tails" short before you sew. Leave them long so the machine doesnt pull them down into the bobbin, you can cut them off later 2. Never thread the machine with the foot down. The tension discs dont work right if you thread it with the foot down. If you forget, just rethread the machine. 3. Dont start your sewing at the very edge of the fabric. Start a little bit into the fabruc and just back stitch to just before you reach the edge 4. This is kinda hard to explain but making sure you have a good balance of tension between the bobbin and the needle will prevent alot of headaches. I'd just look for a couple videos on how to adjust the tension. Professor pincushion is another place to learn the basics(not as entertaining as our gal here but really broken down fir anyone to follow) i hope this was helpful! Trust me, i made my homecoming dress with help back in high school and last month still had to fish out my first t shirt attempt that got jammed in the feed dogs :/ just keep trying and you'll get there
I get my berets for pretty cheap so I dont think its worth enough for me to make them BUT you reminded me I've wanted a velvet beret for ages so I might try that out with help from my mum (since I cant sew) when Im back home for christmas
I'm so so excited about this video!! You don't know how hard it is to find good vegan berets (it's impossible). I don't know why I didn't think of it before but now I can just make them myself! AHH I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!
Traditionally a beret is made by knitting and felting 100% wool yarn. If your comfortable knitting there are tons of patterns on Ravelry that guide you through the process.
Sooo awesome! This is really helpful since hats have never fit my head. I know its spring for you, but could you do some fall friendly designs like trench coats/ light jackets? Also, i think dog/cat toys could be great to use your scraps for! Anyway, stay awesome. I look forward to your new episodes like I've been waiting for a new series of stranger things :)
watching you snap your needle in half made me want to tell this story: i saw the beautiful vans on instagram with patches and thought to myself psh i could make that so i tried all kinds of glue and that didnt work so i resorted to sewing. which i would never advise because on top of everything my patch had the glue on the back which is also extremely difficult to get a needle through long story short there were a lot of tears and at least 5 broken needles and now i barely even wear the shoes just great
If you're looking for beret embellishments, StealTheSpotlight has a little tutorial for adding metal rings in her '5 Easy DIY Clothing Upgrades' video :)
Anika, you could also do a video where you send a box of scrap fabrics to someone and they send a box of scrap fabrics to you. Then you can both try to make somethings out of the scrap fabric.
i accidentally crocheted a rad beret when i was attempting a beanie! 😂 so technically i guess that makes it easy to do? it even had a natural bobble on it from the slipknot at the beginning 😂👍 what with your newfound love of crochet, maybe that could be fun to do? ps hi from a fellow aussie in canada! (i was trying to make a beanie cos it's so freakin cold here, but then it turned into a beret...but then it became summer and 35C anyway so yay!)
Forever 21 has a pair of lace fit and flare pants with a satin lining that looks like shorts for coverage. These could be interesting to do, and I'd love a video on how to make pants out of lace!

Annika Victoria can you do a video that show how to make a barefood cap?! Please!😚❤
Annika Victoria please do a basic bodice please or even going on Pinterest and typing in 'bodice with tie'

I've never sewn anything in my life but her explanations were so clear they made me believe I could do it right away
Ariel H Same! I literally struggled with making a simple strap just a few hours ago and here I am now like hell yeah I'm definitely capable of doing this 😅
Sewn*
thanks! i wasn't sure, i should have checked before writing that comment haha
OMG I just cut off 18 inches off my hair so I really wanted to try out a beret with my short hair and then you posted this.....magical 💕😂
Did you add the seam allowance?
Ramey K she is magical
GetSquiddy haha...
haha...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes pls make more hats and model them on your dog
I'm not a beret, or a hat person in general, really, but I want to make this. I quite like the velvet-maybe-suede fabric one. ☺️
Nancy W a colored velvet with a black or white lace ober it might look good. Or just lace accents (lace rose perhaps?)
When you know you will never do these projects but Annika is queen.
Aww! Your fur baby looked so chic in a stylish beret ❤️🐶
Omg your earrings!!!! So glad you’re feeling up to a new vid today :) love you girl
kaitlyn wade omg! How did i miss that?? Thanks for Pointing it out :)
Bipolartorecovery aren’t they precious!! Lol
Yes! This is the best explanation for the ‘inside’ part I’ve seen so far! I got semi successful once, but this should solve the problems I was having. And yes to the embroidery too! 😍 Thanks Annika!
I love it that you added all those measurements in cm as well, makes it a whole lot easier for people from other countries like me :D keep up the awesome work!
THE MATH IN THIS VIDEO..MAKES ME FEEL LIKE SCHOOL WAS WORTH IT LOL
Im No Chef Natasha honestly I use maths more in sewing than I do in my science degree :P (biology major!)
when she got those captions for ya Deaf self 😩
She's the awesomest 😊
Captions are great for everyone honestly. 🙌
I wish I was as happy as her dog omggg
yass! and our heads are exactly the same size apparently so I can use your measurements! looks like a simple project! and I love berets!!!!
i’m so so glad you posted this! i’ve been wanting to buy a beret for a while but i don’t like buying new clothes (for ethical reasons; thank you Annika) and no thrift store near me would have any hats at all, so i’m just so grateful that you posted a tutorial 💗🌞

CraftyGamerOnes that’s a great idea to help it keep its shape - I think I’ll try that out next time! Thank you! ^_^
I literally just searched for a beret pattern but got discouraged because of my small head 😂 I hear u, universe, one beret coming up
i really love the lil jokey snap you do to skip cutting
Are there others than me who are subscribed to Aya also? It made me happy that Annika mentioned her awesome channel
Wish people would stop commenting on how she says words. She lives in a different country so she pronounces words differently. Deal with it.
BethStar11 Exactly! I’m Australian too and it drives me insane.
The daisy one is SO cute! It is like really aesthetically pleasing!
Especially love the black bear a. Your dog looks so cute in it too.
i've been watching your channel for so many years now and still always come back for my sewing projects, lov u annika.
this thumbnail is so pure
i can't tell you how much you inspire me I'm a 13 year old wanting to be a fashion designer and I'm trying to sew my own clothes using your tips and tutorials :)
As a big headed guy that can't find berets that actually fit, I will be making a freaking lot of this for this fall/winter! Thanks Annika! ✨💓
+José Tomás Yáñez Pino wooo hoo!!
Ok but who else thought she was going to use the left over circle to make a matching beret for her dog? Was that just me?
Sarah Rose hahahahaha omg but now I actually have to :P
IKR HAHAHA
Yay more daisies!!! Daisies on everything!!!! 🌼 (it’s the closest emoji I could find)

You totally crushed it in this video! The editing, the sewing, and the styling were on point!
Reagan Neviska ahhhh thank you so much for this lovely comment, you wonderful human being ❤️
All the little edits and drawing make this tutorial so easy to understand! Thank you!

I just whipped mine up in 20mins, and since its one of my first projects, I am super proud of it 🤩 thx Annika !!!
In Brazil you say 'BOINA'. Great video!
Ella the dog, fashion icon!!!
I ❤ that second beret. It looks so 90's.
ANNIKA!! I WAS LITERALLY JUST RESEARCHING THIS!!
Emma miller lol me too i made one in late October!!
My sweet little gremlin been dying for a beret, its how I didn't think of making them. I think I'll be using fleece or flannel, she 6 so cuter prints are the way to go, and a yarn pompom in top. 😂
I adore your videos. They are genuinely what helped encourage me to clean up my sewing/craft room so I can use it again. 💖
Living for it! Love you Annika!!!!!!! Your videos always make my day!
I missed you! Glad you are well I got scared thinking you had gotten sick but saw that you were just in Japan! Major Relief! I love your videos!
Oh my goodness! I have the same rainbows as the ones on your earrings! They're going to be hairpins for my daughter. And I have the same head size problem too. My girl is 6 now and she and I can already almost share hats!
*realizes my name, while a mouthful, flows nicely* Rewatching to try this again! Thanks for doing a suggestion of mine!
Absolutely lovely!!! Easy to follow and you're so fun
I'm teaching online in China right now, and we're studying poetry. I needed to make a beret for my stuffed animal dragon..hahaa. This turned out so cute, and he's proudly wearing it in a poetry video I made for my students. Thanks for the tutorial.
ooooh, i loved all the fonts and tip! boxes and things in this video!!! you might have done it before and i've never noticed but it's so cool!
lucy o thank you! It’s a new thing I’m trying and I really like how it turned out too. I’m so glad someone noticed it! ^_^
I like the black one so much, I only know berets made out of felt.
Ive been wanting a beret recently, and here you are! bless
In the interest of reducing waste I would love to see you try a tee shirt quilt or scrap quilt.
you have the best visuals! you make it all so simple i love it thank you best sewing channel!

Bipolartorecovery Yay for supportive communities, what a nice comment!
And cleaning your machine is always a great idea too.
I really like the graphics you’ve been adding to the videos lately
I was just binge watching and then you upload 😭🙏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾 yay
You can also wet felt to make a similar style of beret. I prefer to knit hats though tbh.
I finally got around to making my little one's berets, and added Mine Mouse ears to. They ended up so cute. Thank you for the informative vid.😉
you're doing an amazing job explaining everything
I am IN LOVE with your style.
YES QUEEN I LOVE YOU
So cute! I love how you explained it!
You made this super simple to follow! Even the math part! Thank you 💜
THANK YOUUUU!!! You are a lifesaver. I have such a big head that I can't find one it my size now I can make one
im loving the duck ring
Yes me too. I'd rock that ring.
Duuude that pin and elastic trick is genius! And the berets are absolutely adorable~ :DDD
Annika! you've inspired me to NEVER buy new clothes ever again: only second-hand clothing or things that I make by hand. Less waste, more fun!
Great directions and such an encouraging attitude-great job! 👏🏼😍👏🏼
love your jeans in this episode!!
Yaaassss! Finally, some use for the scrap fleece I have!
These are so cute (I think I would put some kind structure into it) but this is a project I MUST do
I get my berets for pretty cheap so I dont think its worth enough for me to make them BUT you reminded me I've wanted a velvet beret for ages so I might try that out with help from my mum (since I cant sew) when Im back home for christmas
you look so radiant in orange! glad you're well
I want you pants! I had a pair like that years ago, and they were SO comfy!
Such a cute idea ! Certainly gonna make it ! Like how good you explainTHE pattern making !
I'm so so excited about this video!! You don't know how hard it is to find good vegan berets (it's impossible). I don't know why I didn't think of it before but now I can just make them myself! AHH I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!!
Vegan beret? What are berets normally made out of?
SakuyaLuigi often they can be made out of felted wool, which isn’t vegan
+Annika Victoria Oohhh. Okay, thanks!
I didn't even think about that! Being vegan can be so frustrating sometimes but it's tots worth it and feels amazing 😍
You know sheep aren't harmed by being shorn, right? There's no reason for wool to not be considered vegan.
Really like the new illustrations!
I loooove hats and this looks so so easy. Thanks for another high quality video :)
Now i will be able to do the sakura card captor beret! Ive wanted it for so long and its so expensive
I like how they turned out.
Thank you this is super helpful because I am going to participate in a school fashion show and I was thinking of making a beret 🥰❤️✨
Traditionally a beret is made by knitting and felting 100% wool yarn.

YOU LOOK STUNNING! I’m totally going to make this now💋💖
I was so happy when I woke up and saw this, I was thinking about berets all of yesterday 😄🐳
Hi Annicka! Thank you for your tutorials!
Your very inspiring.
I learned how to use a machine from you. Well ok...still learning. Practicing. 😆
OMG I'm so happy you made this video I've always wanted to wear a beret
Sooo awesome! This is really helpful since hats have never fit my head. I know its spring for you, but could you do some fall friendly designs like trench coats/ light jackets?

thank youu, going to make a wool one for winter
Love the pants at the end!

I'm a Sousaphone in marching band and call the bobbles, hat nipples... we also rip them off as an initiation into the section. :)
Would you recommend putting interface on the inside of the beret so it’s stiffer and holds its shape better?
After wearing mine for a while - yes! I think that’d be a great idea. A thick interfacing would be good to help it hold its shape.
Both turned out beautiful 😍
Wow, this looks great! :D Love that fabric colour :)
Could you make flowercrown tutorial?!?! Btw love your earrings they're soooo cute!
