The Space Cadet Hat. My interpretation of a classic Cadet Hat. An easily customizable project, and the perfect way to use up those small fabric pieces that aren’t enough to make clothing. This is a quick, technical, yet satisfying sew that I’m confident anyone with a little patience can complete. I go over every single step, from paper to finished product, on YouTube, and show how to do the tie closure, as well as a more traditional hat closure. I also go over two different ways of constructing the crown of the hat, to fit the user best. I’ve been wearing these hats all the time, and I can guarantee you will enjoy the finished product.
MATERIALS NECESSARY:
About ½ yard or ½ meter of fabric(this is an estimation based off the width of woven fabric). I also used scraps multiple times to make one of these hats(it uses very little fabric compared to clothing).
A brim insert: you can choose to purchase the brim inserts I bought, steal it from another hat, or even use cardboard. I recommend using a plastic brim to get that desired structure, but regardless of what you use, I show how to pattern the brim piece for any shape or size brim in the video tutorial.
SIZING:
One size fits most, if not all. It is adjustable, and there are two ways to sew it, one allowing for more room/give if desired.
