Cutting Out the Cap

In this section we will use the patterns made in the last section to cut out the caul and band. We will also cut out the border aka ruffles without the use of a pattern. Watch the video at the end of this section for instructions on how to lay out the patterns and cut out of the borders.

You will cut out:

-One caul

-Three bands (two for the cap and one for practice)

-Three borders (two for cap and one for practice)

You will need: 1 yard of linen, pattern pieces, dressmakers shears, small embroidery scissors, pins, pencil and starch.

Before you cut out our fabric: You will need to wash you linen on hot and tumble dry. Once the linen is dry iron it with starch or some form of stabilizing agent.
