Cycling caps
I like cycling caps because unlike most other caps and hats, you can easily wash them and fold them to put away in your backpack or pants pocket. In the last couple of years I’ve been wearing them more and more, even when not biking. Sister nº2 likes them too and she suggested I’d make some for her daughter, who happens to be one of my godchildren. So, for her 3rd birthday in September, I sewed 3 cycling caps out of recycled biking shorts, shirt, t-shirt, etc.
Ingredients:
- my grandma’s old Bernina Minimatic 707 sewing machine
- recycled clothes, which I kept tons of, because I wanted (still want at some point) to make some cinch bags
- a pattern with a scale so I can shrink it to my niece’s head
- ideally, a printer. I don’t own one, so I instead transferred the pattern from the computer screen to a piece of paper. My Apple Thunderbolt display and the MacBook Air’s screen were not bright enough, the iPad Pro was annoying because of the touch screen (I would loose the zoom level for the right scale over and over), but I luckily just started a new job and have a modern MacBook Pro 16" with a bright enough, non touch screen
- patience
