From my video about upcycling scrap fabrics, a lot of requests came through for this beret tutorial. Feel free to recreate and share yours online too.

[@skylegs5513]

I won to send you a message off line how can I

[@aplaceinthestars3207]

Whew, this was a little challenge for me! Not because it was "difficult", but I made the mistake of trying to -rush- it. I'm really a quilter, so let me tell ya- TAKE TIME JOINING THAT 3-D, 7-PIECE JUNCTION! I had to seam-rip sooo much, also melted my cheap mystery-lining on my iron, and was too stingy on my seam allowance when I cut the pattern, oh gosh...These don't really have anything to do with the video, just venting LOL! I know better, really I do! Anyway, I'm happy with the instruction: YT has a lot of creepy-mannequin models and unstylish materials among beret tutorial videos, but this one is just more appealing all around. I wanted a more structured hat than a plain beret, and there aren't as many free "patterns" for something like this, so it's very generous and helpful. My project might've been better with a more "dramatic" material like in the video, rather than a dull, traditional houndstooth like I used. Bolder colors, fun prints, interesting textures... that sort of thing. Mine makes me look a bit "lunch lady", so I need to be particular about the angle I wear it. The fit is good though, and it's a warm little hat. A very satisfying little project, imo :D

[@dianadivadiamond]

I remembered my MOM God rest her soul had used an iron to make the pattern to make one similar to yours.

[@KimDave]

Awww really. May her soul rest in peace.

[@elementgypsy]

Oh, wow. Interesting..

[@BrianJHall-wl4bf]

Hi Kim, your laying out the "ballooning oval" shape is perfect for making Medieval and Renaissance style hats, as well as modern designer Berets. Thank you for the tutorial which ended up being more than a Beret lesson. So many endless possibilities from using the French Curve pattern rule!

[@janetweeks5]

Haha! Your Eddie Murphy introduction is funny and so cute. :)

Nice tutorials

[@KimDave]

Glad you like them!

[@peggyr9623]

I loved this beret! The fabric is beautiful and it looks beautiful on you as well. I will try this one as it doesn't have any elastic in it. The berets that have elastic in them give me a headache, literally! Did you make yours out of silk? It does have a silk type sheen to it. Thank you so much for sharing this!

[@sherrosgirl]

Thanks for sharing. Could you add a link for the pattern? I am not good at drawing patterns.

[@latoyaboyle03]

I love this! Can you do a male version please? Keep the videos coming 👏👏👍

[@kweenzazy8685]

Great tutorial...please can you make a video on how to ELIMINATE darts from a skirt pattern. Thanks

[@KimDave]

Noted

[@NunyaHarmonee]

As for head measurements, what do you suggest for long hair? Would you use a larger size than the measurement of your head?

[@dianadivadiamond]

It turned out very nice. Well done my dear and a blessed weekend to you and yours. 💕💕💕

[@KimDave]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@cyannepanda]

If you don’t have an overlocker what could you do to make a more finished product?

[@KimDave]

You can use bias binding or french seams

[@judithemmanuel5162]

Pls. Make a felt beret

[@onesma1729]

I missed it! So disappointed. 😔 You are beautiful and when you wear this hat your eyes pop!! Love it...even if it is "comingtoamericaesque" 😉😏😋

[@KimDave]

You can still watch the tutorial on the channel at your own pace. Thank for the compliment

[@toyinogunlusi230]

Can I sew d body just like d lining?looks easy

[@KimDave]

Yes you can

[@margaretvanessamensah4018]

Please would it fit right if the fabric is not stretchy??

[@KimDave]

yes non-stretchy fabric will be advisable

[@margaretvanessamensah4018]

Kim Dave Alright thank you I’ll definitely recreate it🥺

[@idoghoakpesiri1067]

Is 8 inches constant. What about the 5 inches

[@karinroman6806]

Which type of fabric did u use?

[@KimDave]

I used a jacquard blend that has cotton, viscose and polyester. Any stable fabric works well for the beret

[@moemoe-tg7sh]

Que lástima que hagan un vídeo interesante pero no piensen en los que hablamos español, pues nisiquiera subtítulos en español hacen. Es un comentario constructivo. Bendiciones
