How to Sew a Surgical Cap - Tutorial and Pattern

[@1945nancy]

My memories on fb came up today that I had finished 200 caps during Covid. I eventually made 1500 caps and used your pattern. They were all given free of charge to front line workers. Thank you.

[@theresasmith1000]

I'm a CCRN working the front lines. I sewed myself a hat that I came up with a pattern for. One thing led to another and along with another nurse, during this necessary quarantine, began sewing scrub hats to cover the heads of our team! I wish I had stumbled upon your AMAZING pattern and video before I began all that!! I really would have saved a ton of time!! WHAT A GREAT PATTERN!! You are a genius!! Not only great, simple time saving directions via youtube, but your pattern saves on fabrics! I'm using my never-ending stash of fabrics I've bought over the years but with work, kids etc, couldn't find the time to make the projects intended for them. I suppose I've found the project intended for those fabrics!! Thanks again!!

[@gatherandmake]

Oh my goodness, thank you for saying so! I'm so glad it helped. It is definitely a great stash buster! Finally we don't have to feel so bad about all that fabric hoarding over the years, right?! Stay safe on the front lines and thank you for your service!

[@tracyselbert3157]

I made this for my daughter who is an ER nurse and she loved it and wants more for her co-workers! I'm donating all that I make to her hospital. Thank you for sharing this.

[@gatherandmake]

I'm SO happy to hear that it's helpful! Thank you for making them for your daughter and her co-workers in the ER - and thank you to them for being our heroes on the front lines! xo

[@JoannaBlsmAM]

I've made this version of the cap several times from both free and paid tutorials/patterns. This one is by far the best quality sewing, instructions and fit/outcome. Thank you so much for sharing this for free.

[@kayecarney8510]

Thank you! Haven't sewn in years and your clear, concise, no-nonsense instructions are much appreciated! My daughter and her ICU coworkers are recipients, thanks to your instructional. I added a piece of interfacing where I sew buttons because, depending on the mask elastuc length, the stress was pulling out the button and frequently resulted in holes.

[@pattirunyan5440]

I never knew how to sew before until Covid19 changed our lives. I've been able to make this cap for my son who is a CT Tech. I had to KZbin everything about using a sewing machine. He said they work great. Thank you for allowing me to help my son during these tough times. I plan to make more and provide to his co-workers. It's a blessing to help! Thank you.

[@gardengirl217]

Good for you Patti!

[@JenniferGormley]

that's awesome. I really don't know how to sew either but I got my machine out, watched a few videos and make some masks, they turned out pretty well. I'm going to try and make myself this cap today.

[@gatherandmake]

Great job!!! Now that you know how to sew, what are you going to sew for fun for yourself once you're done making masks and caps?!

[@JeffChase]

Nicely done. Something you did (that so many tutorials don't) is to use a contrasting thread for demonstration. It really makes it a lot easier to follow the construction steps when you do that, and I for one really appreciate it!

[@isabelmarie8201]

Yes that is my biggest pet piece with sewing tutorials.. using the same color of fabric to sew to each piece and same color of thread.. i get so confused

[@JoannaBlsmAM]

Yes, great observation!

[@brendavance8532]

I have a sewing machine that has sat in my closet for over 15 years. Last thing I made was a dog pillow that was round. I have no sewing skills but got that sewing machine out and have made these surgical hats for my work . They were all so impressed. I have made them out of our old surgical scrubs that we do not use anymore. My Mom had thread of all colors in her old sewing box. These have cost us nothing but my time, which I have been happy to spend making these instead of stressing out over everything. THANK YOU FOR SUCH AN EASY AND HELPFUL VIDEO.

[@gatherandmake]

I'm so glad it was helpful. Way to go! Now that you've gotten your sewing machine out and dusted off, you'll have to also sew something fun for yourself! :)

[@vernonwilson9560]

I don’t understand any of the down thumbs. This is definitely a great video on making the caps, but the free printable directions, pattern, and scale drawing are so good that you could skip the video and do just fine making a cap. Thank you for all the time you put into this, and for freely sharing with the world.

[@Yailynb]

Thank you for showing things step by step and for not omitting things that seem to be common sense to knowledgable sewers as a beginner your video left me with no questions. Thank you!!!

[@coleenparsons4905]

I need to print off another pattern! WOW! Neat, new pattern!! I've made 24 so far, and have another 30 in the wings. Just waiting for more fabric, solids to use with all of the donated fabric and my stash. I've been using my serger.... for the first time since getting it from an old neighbor. In the 90s. I'm strangely grateful for the opportunity to get to know the machine while helping others. I am using my hoard, too! Wins all around. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. These are going to several hospitals in Michigan.

[@gatherandmake]

Wow - that's a lot of sewing! Your efforts will be much appreciated by your local hospitals, I'm sure. It has also been a great way for me to use up my fabric stash! Win-win! :)

[@hannahtasner5523]

THANK YOU! Easiest scrub cap demo I have seen. I have been up all night working on making these for nurses I know that work at my local Children’s hospital.

[@gatherandmake]

You're amazing! xo

[@carolsmartass4362]

that is Really nice of you to do that. I don't really like sewing much unless i have too but have made about 50 masks for my drs office and a few very ill people i know who are afraid to go to the store.....your wonderful

[@maxinesealey8927]

Thank you so much for sharing your hat with us. I am a critical care nurse and we are in need of hats and mask. They only give us one a shift. Once again thank you very much and my GOD BLESS YOU!!!! 🙏🏽❤️

God bless YOU, Maxine! Thank you for working on the front lines caring for our sickest patients. xoxo

[@charlesmarano6399]

Easiest to make easiest to follow best I’ve seen good and simple

[@dianec3777]

This is such a great, easy-to-follow tutorial! Thanks. A couple ideas that made my project easier for me are as follows: I used card stock and traced the pattern on there to use as a template. I used the template to trace the pattern onto wrong side of fabric to cut out. (I use regular scissors so tracing makes it easier to cut.) Once pattern is traced onto fabric, throw a couple of straight pins around each traced pattern piece to hold it while cutting. I also found that once you iron the little flap up on very end of the ties (on video at minute 6:14), once it's folded up and ironed, if you cut the corners off both sides of little flap it makes it look so much nicer once you fold both sides of ties together to sew for finishing the cap.

[@gatherandmake]

Great tips, Diane. Thanks for sharing!

[@joybardsley2203]

This is just what my daughter asked me to make. She works in physical therapy and is on the lift team for covid-19 patients. She is issued just one cap. I’ve made masks for the hospital so now I move to caps.😊 This pattern is perfect. Thank you.

[@gatherandmake]

Hope your daughter is staying safe! Glad the pattern helped.

[@tlsnana9539]

I was pretty nervous about this pattern. Finally tried it today and I’m so happy. It’s for my son’s brother-in-law. He works in radiology and had asked for something with (tasteful) skeletons. I was happy to find fabric on Etsy and your pattern made it perfect. Actually, your video caught my eye because of the fabric. 😊 Now, to make some for the nurses in the family.

[@santagarcia1643]

I’m an icu RN isolating at home on my days off as we wait on the surge of covid patients. Thanks to your video I won’t be bored in my room any more.

[@gatherandmake]

Thank you for your essential front line service! You are amazing!

[@sfahey53]

Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial. I cant wait to make a few of these for my husband, who is a nurse, and all his co works.

Still making these for my nurse friends. It’s a fantastic pattern, and great instruction.

[@cynthiasilvala731]

[@nancieventers3791]

This is a great pattern. I have made over 200 caps for my daughter and the other nurses that she works with. So glad I found this. Thank you for providing me with a vehicle to contribute to our healthcare workers during this pandemic.

[@gatherandmake]

WOW! That is a lot of caps! You're a super star. I'm so glad I could help. Way to go!

[@gemmawulff2145]

Definitely the easiest to follow DIY surgical cap I have done. Thank you!

[@dmac2807]

Thank you for this simple pattern. I'm making and surprising my sister-in-law who is a nurse in central upstate NY.

[@gatherandmake]

You are so welcome! She will really appreciate it.

[@peacemaker7177]

I'm a GP and this video is PERFECT! 👍 Thanks a bunch for a great tutorial, my friend.

[@juliapearce4380]

Thanks Becky. A wonderful tutorial. Easy to follow. Most impressed that you did a pattern on a graft, for those of us who don’t have a printer or cannot get it to print. On another site someone had said they wanted to make some to help and ask I’d she could just give the length and width of the oval. She did not have a printer and the woman had given the measurements for the band part, and she replied “If you don’t have a friend who could print it and mail it to you, then you’re just out of luck”. I was so shocked. Can’t we just be kind and helpful... Thanks again for the extra effort you made to help us . God bless you.

[@gatherandmake]

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful. It is a lot of work to create a video/tutorial and provide a free pattern, then takes a lot of time to provide support to people using the pattern, so I completely understand if pattern designers can't answer every question or provide additional resources. Most of us aren't being paid a thing and are giving our limited free time to help others just by providing a pattern (especially now while taking care of our own families and home schooling our kids, while working full time at home or out of the home). Stay safe and happy sewing. xo

[@guatever333]

Thank you for the tutorial and free pattern...I am doing medical missions and make caps from local fabric of Guatemala...they love it.

[@cathrung9220]

thank you for the demo and free pattern. I am a handmade artist of hats and bags. I will be making some to sell at holiday markets. I was at an AIRBNB this summer and actually met a real life person who works in the ER, and upon inquiring, I found out these are needed. Will try best to make some this year. and let you know how it goes.

[@jordanbanks732]

Thank you so much. I am an ER nurse and this has me excited to make some for me & my coworkers

[@rhondamercado7527]

Yay, I think I finally got it. The only messy part was sewing up the curve and coming back, but I’m sure I’ll master it with practice. I have to agree with everyone else, best pattern yet. Thanks for sharing.

[@tanyahuffman8169]

My daughter who is an RN in Minneapolis MN sent me this video & asked me to make her some. I really appreciate the video as I'm a visual learner. One tip I would have is to do your pressing before you start sewing, much easier.

[@gatherandmake]

That is such a great tip - thanks for sharing, Tanya. It would absolutely be easier to do all the pressing with it laid flat! Glad you found the video helpful. :)

[@timglenn01]

Thanks for the video and pattern! I bought my wife a sewing machine for Christmas. I have never sewn anything but sat down today and made 2 of these with Santa prints.

[@maryannanton2329]

I made 2 of these for my daughter who is a nurse in about 1 hour and she was so happy! Your instructions are perfect & easy to follow. Thank you for doing this & saving her a ton of money!

[@dennisevarney4624]

I've made a few of these scrub caps and my daughter, who is a nurse, loves them! She herself is starting to learn to sew and I'm forwarding this video and your website to her today! Thanks so much for this tutorial video!

[@lauriesx2129]

I had to come back to comment again. This tutorial is BY FAR the best. I'm not a sewing machine person- I make quilts 100% by hand from start to finish. But this tutorial made me feel like a "real" sewer, and I made TEN today. Thank you, Becky! I will be making lots of these! PS: still need a tutorial for a stretch toggle closure😬

[@gatherandmake]

Wow, thank you! That's so kind of you! I really appreciate you letting me know. I am mostly a quilter, too, but not many hand-pieced - THAT is amazing (and much more "real" sewing than by machine!). So glad you found it helpful. :)

[@tishanamichel9390]

Both my parents are RNs being exposed to plenty of COVID patients daily. I too am an RN but haven’t started working yet (due to an injury). I’ve learned how to make reusable face masks to help protect my family and now I’m interested in providing them with scrub caps. This tutorial was super clear and easy! I’m ready to get started!!

[@gatherandmake]

Bless your family! I'm sure they will appreciate them. I hope you all stay safe. xo

[@debimills8110]

Thank you for your clear instructions and explanations of why you do it in the order you do. My daughter who will be graduating from Glasgow University in Scotland as a Vet has asked me to make her some 😊

Thank you for the excellent and easy intstructions and pattern. This one is awesome. Don't have zig zag on my machine (1957) but did double stitching around perimeter of top and worked awesome. Thank you!

Glad you made it work! Thanks for watching!

[@brookesouthgate7351]

Thank you for this comment! I'm also working on an antique machine (Singer 301) that doesn't zigzag. I was going to try bias tape to keep things nice.

[@joanne8655]

A nurse friend asked me to make her a surgical cap, and I was thrilled to see your tutorial. You're a great teacher! Thank you for the pattern as well. Not sure what I would have done without it! Once my friend wore her hat, there's been a steady demand for more from all the medical personnel in the ER. I've shared your tutorial and so now there are at least 3 of us working on hats for the staff. I have been using t-shirts, since I don't have bolts of material laying around. They seem to be working quite well. Thanks again for sharing your expertise!

[@gatherandmake]

Thanks so much! I'm glad it has been helpful. You are superstars - your contributions will be much appreciated by the ER staff. All the best!

[@anacristinalandaverde]

I'm also making some for my dad's dental office but I'm not sure how the caps will fit on everyone's head since everyone has different sizes. Would you say this template is good for a universal size and it fits everyone comfortably?

[@laurieadunlop983]

One size pretty much fits all...the ties can be tied looser or tighter to fit well.

I've made some of these and they turned out great! This video is super helpful! One lady I made some for, though has a lot of hair and I am wondering if I can alter the pattern a bit to accommodate her hair? Would it be possible to cut the top part longer in the back and/or extend the back sloping parts to allow for more pulled back hair to sit? They are not interested in the ponytail caps so I'd love to be able to make the tie back caps differently.

[@lauriesx2129]

An ER RN friend asked me to make her a cap like this but with a toggle closure. I cant seem to find a tutorial for that. You have made me feel like I can make this!

[@gatherandmake]

You absolutely can make it! If you want to add a toggle closure (and you have toggle hardware), cut the pattern off at the 11" mark, then tuck a lace or shoestring into each end before you fold the hem up along the brim, slide on a toggle, and knot the strings! It would be worth giving it a try. :)

I have a biased tape maker for my Husqvarna Viking Freesia 415 ...hoping I can use it for the ties. Great pattern! I want to add two large buttons towards the back as ear savers for the elastic in the masks!
