How to make a Five Panel Camp Hat // Sewing tutorial

[@tomim7187]

Most of us never give a second thought to how everyday items can be so complex and intricate. That is a cool hat. Loved the Pendleton Native American designs for as long as I can remember. Great build. Fantastic video!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you so much Tom!

[@mrjed]

A ton of my friends would kill to find a hat like that in some thrift store, cool stuff man!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Haha thank you! Much love ;)

[@wes008pwns]

You deserve a way bigger following with how quality your content is.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you, that means alot!

[@RafaelBarloweNBADraftjunkies]

wes008 Agreed!!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you it really means a lot

[@RafaelBarloweNBADraftjunkies]

Make With Miles I hit you up on IG... Would go make hats for purchase?

[@markchoitz443]

nice work Miles, I am sure your Dad is proud of your work as well, neat hat!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you Mark, I definitely love sewing with my dad!

[@grentperez]

This is awesome, thank u so much

[@hrsey5884]

lol I was wondering why this was in your playlist

[@magnoliaweathershield443]

Hey Miles! This was a great video and a really good tutorial. I hadn’t seen anyone use a bias tape maker to feed directly into a sewing machine before, and I loved your little paper jig to feed the material around the foam under the presser foot. Those two ideas are really getting my brain ticking! I found your channel through Laura Kampf, and I’m seriously impressed. I enjoyed your choice of music and calm, clear narration too.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Hi Magnolia, glad you liked the video! Both of those techniques worked surprisingly well and I will definitely be using them more. Thank you again ;)

[@kzookid2051]

Great tutorial on making a custom cap! The pencil holder on the side is a cool idea.

[@glueupsscrewups]

I got to your channel thanks to your plywood guitar - which is amazing, but I'm blown away by the fact that you are also so skilled at sewing. Well done!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Wow, thank you!

[@wakzyon]

Duuuuuuuuuuude!!!! I really want a hat like that! well freaking done!!!!!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you soo much yooo!

[@MTHU0080]

Everything about this video is incredible. I loved the music, the videography and of course how the hat turned out!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thank you so much! It means a lot, not often do people notice how much time I spend editing/filming so I really appreciate it!.

[@mountainsolesoutdoorthreads]

Great job Miles. I love how the Pendelton fabric turned out.

[@bexxxxxx]

What a great video. Thank you for being so in depth and explaining perfectly. I will hopefully try to make this following your brilliant tutorial

[@lorrainewilliams7896]

Excellent job in this hat, dude! Thanks for breaking this down and making it easy to understand. Here is my PSA for everyone who does not live near them: if you call Pendleton Mills they will sell you scraps for a good price. At least they did pre-lockdown. I have something similar to this one and you know I am going to be using it for a cap now.

[@axelgranzini6797]

Ive never taken fashion seriously as a 23 yr old male but this gets me excited

[@MakeWithMiles]

Haha that is awesome to hear. Yeah I'm not a huge fashion guy but stuff like this gets me more interested as well ;)

[@gchaney9737]

You're so lucky to have access to those machines! I would love a binding machine like that. I'm going to sew a hat but I may have to sew right sides together on the brim- which won't look as professional.

[@THAunTOUCHable13]

Miles, you’re my hero. Way to pick up an awesome, handy craft and take it to the next level. I hope my boys turn out half as cool as you. 🩵

[@vetteheino]

Palomino blackwing! Fantastic pencils. And the hat looks great.

[@MakeWithMiles]

I love Blackwings! Thanks for watching.

[@dganet]

This tutorial was much better than the original Properfit Clothing one. Great job!

[@jazzyg530]

And after I finished making the hat... "This hat is available for $200". Really nice!

[@JHParee]

You earned a subscriber out of me for the simple fact that you use a Blackwing pencil in this video.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Haha, I love blackwings! Thanks for the sub, it means alot ;)

[@JHParee]

Make With Miles are you subscribed to their volumes? They come out with some neat stuff every quarter.

[@DjButta]

Dude your video is awesome the guitar instrumentals are godly hope I can make my first five panel soon I’ve learned how to do the outer structure just need to learn the sweat band Strap and brim

[@hedyb4839]

This is great! You’re very talented!

[@AntonioDavila-g5w]

Thank you soo much🤙 so overwhelming to start learning!! But you are helping with these tutorials

[@FigmentsMade]

This is such a good idea and it looks great! The paper guide is fantastic.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks Sharon, the paper guide was very helpful ;)

[@jorgearnold612]

Good work and tutorial miles keep it up. What kind of metal guide for making stitch line straight for the brim?

[@FelipeDelPapa]

Looks very professional! Love the content

[@lotta7839]

Love the video i want to make it but i dont know where to find the brim

[@ap-rx5pi]

This was cool. I wish I had access to equipment like that.

[@zezuntxiduntxi]

Dude, you are a boss.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Haha thank you!!

[@heatherclark5048]

Excellent design!

[@chernobyl79]

Very cool hat. Nice build.

[@jamal.ez0]

really wonderful job miles ❤👏🏼👏🏼

[@kevinrico1194]

Thanks for the video! Your cap Turned out great 🙌🏼

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks for watching my video ;)

[@larss4119]

Blackwing holder is 👌

[@ladyblue2fl]

One other thing that pencil thing is amazing

[@fourthchute]

Nice build and tutorial!

[@darussianping61]

i like the green fabric.

[@biodieseler1]

That sir is one tidy cap!

[@isenpellegrin7514]

As someone who works primarily on paper to take notes on what to do today, i cant believe i didnt think of the pencil holder sooner lmao.

[@jorgearnold612]

Good work miles. Sir mile may i know what needle you used for your plastic brim sewing?

[@PramulyaRabbani]

damn, your content is so cool!! i enjoyed so much

[@amarilyssantanaart]

Nice!

[@jessiecollamar1638]

Hey miles! What do u call that fabric on front panel and the black one u put on buttom side of the brim

[@aldwinpulongbarit511]

Insane brooooo☠️

[@FabioLeone94]

Looks great!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks Fabio ;)

[@timpierce4441]

Dude that’s awesome! Nice work buddy! Question, can you post a decent entry level sewing machine that can do all that? What machine did you use? DEFINITELY want to try this now.

[@mikelbardo2907]

5:08 whats the name of this presser foot ?

[@thenatnatboy]

hi, what is that 3:33 and the sewing on 5:00 is called?

[@lulatschlp9424]

Awesome bro 🫀

[@braxtondrew3432]

you mentioned that you would add a link to the material used for the brim but I don't see it in the description. Anyone know where I can get stiff hat brim material?

[@lorrainewilliams7896]

I am looking at Peltex from Pellon. www.pellonprojects.com/?s=Peltex&submit= I took apart an old snap back and it had chipboard for the brim, but I want something that will not get wrecked if it gets wet. I also read someone is using plastic like the kind used for milk/water jugs, but I want something I can shape cos I am picky about how my brim looks. Pellon is sold a lot of places, your best bet would be a craft store unless you want to buy a full bolt off Amazon. Hope this helps!

[@nicirvin1994]

It's as good as any I've seen.. And it's at the moment.. Unique.. One of a kind.. But I can see you making a limited run..

[@DeHeinzausmGau]

Hi. Love your work !! What kind of sewing machine do I need for caps ? One love outta Germany

[@MakeWithMiles]

Danke, es ist selten, dass ich mein Deutsch üben kann. Sie brauchen keine superspezifische Nähmaschine. eine Heimnähmaschine funktioniert einwandfrei. ;)

[@mik3war1]

Solid video

[@zee6786]

Cool song by the way

[@haziqehsan]

Damn you are good!

[@scavengers4205]

Nice man! I wanna make it too

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks, you should!

[@simonbanks6641]

great video , cheers :)

[@cak746]

What size/type of needle would you use to see the brim lines? I have a typical plastic brim. Also, what material specifically did you use for the brim insert this video?

[@thomperkins]

Nicely done, sir. I wonder how hard it would be to make a corduroy floppy hat? I used to have one back in the day. It was lost during an outing to the beach in St. Augustine 25 years ago. I’ve been searching for one ever since. Have you thought about doing your own custom interior for your car?

[@nedhill1722]

Very cool!

[@MakeWithMiles]

Thanks Ned ;)

[@___echo___]

great video! been looking through your channel and loving the videos what would you say the difficulty level of a sewing project like this is? I've been very interested in making my own hat, but only have a few basic projects experience, I wouldn't mind messing up once or twice considering it doesn't use that much fabric. Thanks

[@zee6786]

Nice job. I make hats too. But I am wondering which type of foam did you use for the brim? If you don't mind me asking. Thanks in advance.

[@nautkoekkoek8720]

Hi Miles, nice tutorial! What is the name of the thing you use to bind the edge of the brim? tia

[@MakeWithMiles]

It's called gross grain ribbon (pronounced grow grain). You can find it at Jo anns or any other fabric store

[@juliapace2845]

Nice Hat

[@babyperigo]

Muito bom sou brasileiro e quero aprender fazer os meus ❤🇧🇷🔥

[@nilsblumenschein6401]

Nice!!!

[@csschepps]

Where is the pattern for this 5 panel hat? Great video!

[@jonathangonzales4809]

What’s a good but cheap sewing machine to use for making these hats.

[@apumphrey]

What make and model of sewing machine is this?

[@mom_im_losing_it]

Can you make a newsboy cap.

[@gonzalo5088]

Hi Miles! You need an industrial sewing machine to do this ? or a little one will work anyways?

[@MakeWithMiles]

You can definitely do it with a home sewing machine!

[@BarnabasDavid-u9u]

Hello miles how do I Get the Patterns

[@Im_Oold_Gregg]

once someone is comfortable with making these, how much time would this take?

[@usewear87]

hello how much this tutorial of yours, there is no way to make the pattern available for download

[@nicktorba1804]

Where can I buy one

[@DarkFayte]

What are the measurements on the ribbon

[@clydesumpo6338]

how to buy a five panel pattern?

[@ezralittle1663]

fucking love this man keep it up

[@subkotunes]

what are the chances I can commission you to make me one? I have fabric in mind I would send you!

[@1HoseaMatthews]

lol I’m making this for a friend that’s also named Miles

[@UniTheAppl]

"You can also use a home sewing machine" *As someone who's scared of loud noises and therefore only sews by hand imma just take that as a challenge*

[@Jonathan_Garvey]

Hey, the video says "This live stream recording is not available."

[@MakeWithMiles]

Yes, I'm aware; some sort of glitch when uploading, it will be up tomorrow ;)

[@Jonathan_Garvey]

@@MakeWithMiles Ok, Awesome! Look forward to it!

[@excaliburhead]

Any Shmeeda fam here?

[@guygatineau281]

Yep! But without a link for the patern... There is nothing to like.

[@MakeWithMiles]

Dude the pattern is literally linked in the description 😂

[@ladyblue2fl]

Young man I wish you could teach other people how to behaveior age and getting involved in stuff like you it's not about who you are whether you're gay straight pink purple none of that matters matters it's just too many young kids getting killed I wish they could take a look at what you're doing thank you son

[@dapiiimyannn1639]

You made it look too easy

[@wahgwaan4625]

Fuuuuk it’s greatfuelnessessery!!!!!!!!

[@Gboyrides]

Yeah, it's totally not hard to make a hat and stuff like this when you have a double needle on the freaking tape machine and awesome sewing machines

[@xrayrunner3156]

I just made this exact hat following these instructions on home sewing machine. A double needle attachement is like 5$ for it...

[@Gboyrides]

@@xrayrunner3156 yeah but double needle attachment leave a weird like knot on the back side since it's not a true double bobbin

[@Gboyrides]

@@xrayrunner3156 and if you're not working with like a heavy duty or like an old ass sewing machine, a newer singer simple won't make it through the brim material and if you double up your tape and you're using like denim, it barely makes it through three folds of denim, but I have an old Montgomery Ward and it looks like a boat anchor that'll go through fucking plastic it's much easier though if you have multiple machines already set up everything you need a taping machine double needle walking foot and then you know you can whip up a hat in like five minutes not literally but pretty close once you got your patterns cut out I guess if you got a cricut it would make it a lot quicker

[@xrayrunner3156]

That’s true! Haha will have to do for now..

[@Gboyrides]

@@xrayrunner3156 same but I did get to make like three hats. So far off of this video took me like four hours for the first one now but it was mad fun I love these five panel hats. I bought a coal jasper for winter because it's like straight up like a Patagonia nano puff so I went to the Goodwill and bought a little kids nano puff (not Patagonia ) and cut it up and made a hat LOL

[@joeybaseball7352]

Cool. But too much work.
