THE EASIEST PONYTAIL SCRUB CAP FOR LONG HAIR - Easy beginner sewing tutorial with free pattern!

[@carmelhorvath8055]

Hi, I have tried 4 different scrub caps and this is by far my favorite, I even added a ribbon to the band. It’s easy to follow and the patten is great. Thank you

[@MeghanGraceDIY]

Thank you so much! That’s such a nice compliment!

[@carmelhorvath8055]

Meghan Grace DIY I am now on my second hat since yesterday and it has taken me even less time for this one. I’m no expert at sewing. My daughter and I both work in the OR at our hospital. We both have long hair. I’m loving this hat pattern. I want to add a picture but I’m not sure how. When I figure it out I will drop one. Thank you again for this simple to make great hat. 🥰

I watched several other tutorials before watching this one, and this is by far the easiest one to follow. Thanks for sharing!!

Cute! Ty so much for the free pattern. I truly appreciate it!

[@meaganday7471]

Hi!! I have very long, thick, curly hair and wanted to give my opinion for others wondering. I just completed my first cap!! It turned out great!! I was worried the elastic wouldn't allow enough space for all my hair, so i added 1 inch in the ponytail holder. Turns out there was plenty of space. I definitely have to pull my hair back into a tight, low bun to make it work, but regardless, it works great!

[@beckielloyd8321]

love this !! thanks for actually explaining the steps as you are doing them !!

[@janetpopplewell1880]

This is the best tutorial ever. You make it so easy and fun!! Thank you so very much ❤

I'm making these for the veterinarian clinic I work at. They love them! Super easy pattern with perfect results...especially for long haired people.

Awww I’m so glad to hear that!!! Enjoy :)

Jan 6th. 25...first time making caps for my grand daughter. I love this simple cap and your video is awesome...great instructions.

[@maryjocorso809]

Thank you!!! Easiest pattern yet and I used my scrap material. Created under an hour.

[@tamarar.4314]

Beautiful pattern. Just made one. I had to complicate things and put in a satin lining but it work out well. For my next i think i’ll put a drawstring in the back instead of the elastic to fit my bun better and make it long enough that its the only ties needed. Thank you!

[@yesseniacastillo4478]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I recently started sewing my own caps and this has been the easiest "how to" video I've seen! Very easy to follow!

Meghan I enjoy watching your tutorials, I can watch them over and over again, you are a great teacher.

[@MeghanGraceDIY]

Awww thank you that’s much appreciated!!!

[@aprili.9533]

1st attempt of making scrub caps. I think my printer shrank the pattern pieces but that was easy enough to enlarge. I did increase the ponytail pocket a bit more & decreased the elastic length to 5.5", so the pocket opening is tighter. Am so happy with how it turned out. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@MeghanGraceDIY]

Your welcome! I am thinking the tighter elastic is the bet the better way to go since I’ve heard a few times that the tighter elastic works better - I appreciate you guys giving me red back because it makes me a better teacher!!

[@helenhellmers5439]

There may be an error in the band pattern. It should read 4” x 10 1/4”. Not 1.5” x 10 1/4”. In my humble opinion. Or i mis read the arrows?

[@rhondakowle9262]

Thank you so much for such a great pattern! I had tried two other patterns--one too big, one too small. This one was just right!! Making several foe my daughter.

[@MeghanGraceDIY]

When making the channel for the elastic on the ponytail holder, sew a straight stitch (1/2" in) where your fold line will be. This will give you a guide for ironing and make things much neater.

[@leenahate3477]

Thanks for the pdfs, cutting is very very simple. Video is so good and so much in detail sewing the cap was very easy. Thank you so much.

[@mayraarriaga4535]

Thank you for an amazing and very detailed tutorial super easy to follow and create this cap. I did have one question though. The print i used has words and on the scrub cap crown should i have flipped the pattern the opposite way. If someone is looking from back of head the words are upside down but I rewatched your video and the lemons are upside down as well when your trying on cap and we are seeing it from backside. Hope I make sense not sure if that's how caps are suppose to be as I've never made one lol. But thank you again totally will recommend your video absolutely the best tutorial 💜

When pinning, place the pins from the outer edge in, so it is easier to remove them when sewing. This is a nice tutorial, thanks for sharing.

[@MeghanGraceDIY]

Thank you - it’s just my habit. I tend see over pins too, but I know not everyone is ok with that so I do my best to not sew over pins either! Self taught habits die hard!

I have a daughter & future son n law in medical school, these will save some $ for sure! I do have a question, I noticed that you cut with your fabric right side up? Easier or just your style? I guess I’m just use to always having it the other way, but just wondering. Thank you again, the video was simple, very easy to follow, great directions and advice! Joy

Good interfacing can make or break your project! The woven fusible is a bit more expensive but since you don’t need that much for this project it’s worth it - i usually get the woven fusible stuff by the 20 yard bolt when it’s 50% off so I always have it on hand!

My mother is recovering from surgery and during her recovery I want to surprise her with scrub caps for when she goes back to work as a surgical technician. I wanted to ask your advice for seeking assorted fabric that is the correct size For the life of me I can only find fat quarters or at best a 20x20 inch online but is there something I’m missing? I’m not used to buying fabric so do I have to go in person and ask for yards of fabrics or how do you acquire your 24x22 inch fabrics? Thank you in advance

[@MeghanGraceDIY]

If you order 2/3rds of a fabric from the bolt, it will be 24 inches and however wide the fabric is (most come in 45 or 60c if you get 60 wide you would be able to get two caps out of the 2/3rds)….I hope your mom feels better soon!!!

Question: For the contrast band, the amount of material listed is "4 x 20". The actual pattern piece reads "Cut on fold (10 1/4in). I cut a 4x20 in piece of fabric, but the pattern piece is larger than this - does it matter?

[@jaysonvanessathatcher2910]

Hi! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. I’m wondering if there is a way for me to make this lined with satin?🤗

[@MeghanGraceDIY]

Yes you could! I would cut the crown and side pieces and the back ponytail portion out of satin as well. For the pony tail portion, just complete all the steps with the satin layer inside the cotton layer. For the cap, sew the cap together separately, then flip inside out and place the satin layer inside the cotton layer, so the seams inside end up between the cotton and satin layer. Then continue making the cap as normal. Hope this helps!

[@jaysonvanessathatcher2910]
