Caul Drawstring

In this section you will create a drawstring at the base of the caul. This drawstring is used to fit the back of the cap to your head. The two videos below will guide you through the steps to:

1. Hem the straight, vertical sides of the caul to prepare for drawstring (1st video).

2. Sew eyelets at the center back (2nd video).

3. Fold up and stitch the casing (2nd video).

4. Put a drawstring through the casing (2nd video).

You will need: the caul, cord, thread, wax, needle, thimble, pencil, seam gauge, pins, small scissors, awl, safety pin or bodkin.
