Note - Outer and lining can be made from same fabric if desired.

Step 1 - To cut out fold fabric in half lengthways and pin your pattern pieces on the fold as indicated. Cut out around the edge including notches for matching. Cut out top and side for outer and another top and side for lining.

Step 2 - From lining fabric (or outer if preferred) cut 1 x 5cm wide strip across the width of fabric for binding and ties.

Step 3 - To sew together take top and side of outer fabric and with right sides together pin side to edge of top matching notches. Sew together easing around the curves. Press.

Step 4 - Repeat step three for the lining.

Step 5 - Place outer on top of lining with right sides facing and align straight back edges. Pin and sew back edges together. Turn right side out so wrong sides are facing and press seam. Topstitch 3mm from edge.

Step 7 - For the binding and ties take the 5cm wide strip and press in half lengthways. Open strip, fold short ends 5mm to the wrong side and press. Fold in half and mark the centre. With strip open pin to the inside edge of the cap matching centre marks and with right sides facing. Sew strip to edge of cap. Press seam allowance towards binding strip. Fold unstitched lengths of strip in 1cm and press.
