Now this are the pictures of all the items I used:

My making processes:

Firstly:

I first measured my head and it was 22inches after that I took the hard carton, and I cut out length of 24inches and size of 3inches after that I cut the fabric same size but I made it longer than the hard carton and after that I took it to the machine and I sewed it length of 22 and I took the already cut hard carton and I used the shoe gum to gum it my head size 22 and I put the fabric around it and I bend and added the shoe gum and bend in the remaining fabric at the top to form the band first.

Secondly:

And I then sewed the velvet fabric same size and I added the band to it

I added the shoe gum to the rounded band I just finished making so I could then wear the velvet I just finished sewing same size.

I place the round band I just finish preparing on the black velvet fabric again to round and form the top covering.

9B874965-23AF-4DDC-8D02-F593B670F47E.jpeg

I added the form to the rounded velvet I will be using for the top covering. I gummed the fabric and the foam together with the shoe gum.

Now from the down part I placed the rounded one and I pushed it with less force to the top to form the GOBI cap

and I used an hand needle 🪡 to put the Bally fringe at the top.

Finally:

I added the shoe gum to the inside and I gummed the lining there cover the rough edges and my cap was ready.

Wow, you're so talented!

I had a very similar hat that I bought many years ago at a second hand shop in America and it got stolen from me and I've been looking for one ever since but can't find one anywhere!

I'm so jealous!
