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!
@@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
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..
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 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..
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. !
Thank you! You mean the pattern? I made a quick one for the video, from a hat i had, i explain how here : ua-cam.com/video/1jacus3Wul8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AlbertoAISU
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..
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’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!
Nice professional video production. Great videos help in trying to figure out a sewing project. Thank you for your commitment to quality.

Nice project. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽
Really nice, that hat is 🔥🥰
Thank you!!
Good job
Wow! Wish I could do that 🥰
Thank you so much!!
So cool!
Thanks!!
Omgosh I loved this ❤
thank you so much!!
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😊
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!
Which machine do you use?
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
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
May l have a pattern this hat

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 !!!!
Are you using an industrial sewing machine?
Yes!
A step by step videp would of been so much better ..but over all a nice hat ..
I wonder if it as easy as you make it.

Just try slowly in the beginning!
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
What kind of machine is that ?
A Juki ddl 8700
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.
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!
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 is there a way I can get in contact with u? I need help with something I think u could fix!!!!
YEARS AGO,
Companies used to GIVE away hats to customers as free advertisement.

1 The $$$$$
2 The POS cardboard bill. If you throw your hat into the washer, the cardboard bill will disintegrate.

Bastards.

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 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!
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 : ua-cam.com/video/1jacus3Wul8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AlbertoAISU
How did you make make the brim, or where did you get it?
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..
@@albertoaisu Okay, thanks!
No problem! ☺️
Hey do you make Custom hats for people
Never tried but i suppose i could!
what size did u used for the panels ?
ua-cam.com/video/1jacus3Wul8/v-deo.html
I show it in this video, i used another 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
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 : ua-cam.com/video/1jacus3Wul8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AlbertoAISU
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 ☺️
Can you sell me this hat pattern
very nice!!!
