Scrub (Bouffant Surgical) Hat Tutorial

[@Melissa1957]

My favorite scrub hat tutorial, thank you Dr. Henshaw!

[@mrsjanay89]

The best tutorial yet! Thank you!

[@AB-pg7ef]

I have tried about 3-4 other patterns/ methods for making the bouffant caps and this by far was the BEST! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this and walk us through it step by step.

[@Carylanne927]

Hello there, I was asked to make some scrub caps for a niece who is now a surgical nurse. I am beyond happy to have found this tutorial second in the queue. I'll not be spending hours and hours watching others. Thank you for your tutorial and I hope this comment finds you healthy and happy.

[@elainewhite6847]

Out of all the videos to make a cap this one here was by far the best one ever. Thank you so much and continue to give us great videos.

[@mo-rie]

The BEST tutorial! Thank you very much. I'm an OR nurse and have fluffy hair, which I don't like getting "squished", so I like the bouffant style so this may be perfect. Gonna go find tissue paper to make the pattern & then we'll see how I do with the rest. Wish me (mainly my hair) luck!

[@hollyfeist8938]

Finally just the pattern I was looking for!! At long last I found a pattern that uses the cord lock! Thank you so much for this great tutorial 😊

[@Sewlistic_Soul]

Thank you so much for this Dr Henshaw!!! I'm going to make these for myself and the other RNs in the cath lab! Pattern explanation was clear and concise! Appreciate the tutorial!

[@titap9035]

Thank you so much for posting this. I think this is the best hat to make because it has the option to tighten it. I appreciate the time you took to make this video.

[@amyhuynh-tran1405]

Thank you for the tutorial. You have excellent techniques. I have made a few bouffant caps using other techniques, but I think yours are easier to follow.

[@dorothymullaney9494]

Thank you so very much, Dr. Henshaw, and to Neal Henshaw for posting this!

[@rochim.1192]

Making some of these hats for my sister and friends, thank you for this tutorial very informative!

[@monikadillon7675]

You did a wonderful job! Im a cake decorator. Id eat cat food before a hair net. Ive been making these for a years, yours is BETTER! thank you!

[@hannahyas610]

I made a few versions of scrub caps recently and this is my favorite! It held up the best after washing too! It’s absolutely wonderful for long hair and I love that it’s so accommodating to various head sizes. Thank you so much for sharing this!!

[@dianasnyder9586]

Love your tutorial. It is very clear and to the point. Thank you.

[@nidasmilievlog5236]

Watching from Maine USA thank you for sharing

[@bacwest57]

You are a very good teacher ❤️

[@chavezesther50]

I wish you would have modeled it for us. But I do love your style of cap.

Thank You so much! I have been looking for an adjustable surgical hat. Love your work! Thank You so much again

[@roxannetoufexis4487]

Love your work table! And your workroom is nicely organized! Having good space makes projects go together much easier!

[@azcavalier]

Ha! Camera magic. So much shoved to the sides. :) Her workflow is nice, but there is fabric on EVERY SURFACE. Including my recliner.

[@roxannetoufexis4487]

@@azcavalier Oh, I have found a friend! I've been making masks for days 😷😷😷😷😷😷😷 and it looks like a tornado went hit. So sorry about the recliner! Hahaha 😃 I'm going to make this hat for my niece who works at elder care facility in Montreal. She will love it. Thank you so much. One of the clearest instructional with amazing video. Thanks Neal!

[@elenaherzer1568]

Thanks for using a serger too. I love this style. Quick and easy. :)

[@jopondersmith895]

Thanks for a great informative video. New sewer,but with 101 videos anyone can do it.

[@stephenlutchman2101]

Very good teacher.

[@KoreaWithKids]

I came to subscribe for the awesome sewing tutorials. ;)

[@adjoa2507]

I like you a lot and the way you teach , thank you

[@hildatoussaint5440]

Wonderful love wow 💘 have a bless day thanks 😊 🙏

[@melissarangel9519]

Thank you, this is a great video

[@kia4334]

Nice video. I like the way you explain how its done.

[@lindagutierrez5042]

B-R-A-V-O I love ❤️ this. 🙌 👍 👏. Thank you 🙏.

[@susandouin8824]

Can you tell me where you got the fabric that you are currently using or where you got it? I love it! Thanks! This is the BEST tutorial on bouffants that I have seen. Thank you for doing this.

[@robintuckerman5623]

Thanks for the great tutorial. I'm not in the medical field but my sister is and she likes the prototype lol, so I'll make more. I did adjust the elastic so there is no cord stop so these fit her head.

[@fashiongirlnyc3351]

Thank you for this tutorial, it was very helpful.

[@rosemarynelson3581]

Great tutorial! I make this version as well as one with a separate band/casing for the elastic.

[@leeyadrick4469]

Love this - would have loved it for the OR in my younger days!

[@glh222]

Just a clarification. In your description, you mentioned a 10-inch circle. Should it not say 20" circle ? This has been the best pattern/instructions I've found online. Thank you so much for sharing your pattern!!

[@RooterGal]

Thank you. Excellent tutorial

[@noelwilliams65]

Awesome thank you. Very simple

[@cherylforrester8639]

Thank you. Very helpful.😁

[@MP-ou2lu]

Thank you

[@sarasorensen2650]

Grandma's button can. 💜 my mom has one. I'll have to take a look in it sometime.

[@Lisapittsburghnurse]

When you attach the brim to the circle.... Exactly where does the brim meet the serged end?

[@LindaSmith-jk6ji]

If I wanted to make one for someone who doesn't have really long hair would i just make the oval smaller? Luv your video.

[@juliemedina7875]

Thank You for the tutorial!

[@cecikp9292]

Can I put a strip of ribbon at both sides and loop on top to make a bow?

[@stephenlutchman2101]

Thanks.

[@nettymessam7613]

I wish if you could give us the pattern.

[@azcavalier]

It's explained very well at the beginning of the video, and easy to make.

[@azcavalier]

Also, as the patterns are for 10 circles, they are too large to print on a normal sheet of paper. You could not print it unless you have access to a large format printer. You can easily draw it by hand, as explained in the tutorial. All you need is a piece of string and a pencil.

[@deborahdeantorain4882]

Many thanks 😊

[@amenachaudhry9374]

Can you share a pattern? I can't find a free pattern. Looking to make some to donate to a few nurses who have long, heavy hair.

[@roxannetoufexis4487]

Amena, you have to make your own paper pattern which is described at the start of the video. Very well described how to do this. Replay back to the beginning for pattern.

[@gaylemae]

Time to oil your machine, lol. Nice pattern tho. Do you have a pattern for your pincushion, please? I love it

[@azcavalier]

Probably is time to oil it. I'll tell her. Regarding the pincushion, my wife bought that at a fabric store somewhere. In fact, I think she bought a bunch of them, gave some as gifts, and keeps a few around the sewing room.

[@crazychickenlady3702]

I love your pattern! You are a great teacher! I have a question, what type of fabric are you using? 100% cotton, or a poly/cotton blend?

[@azcavalier]

I think she just uses cotton, but there is no reason that a blend wouldn't work.

[@loripeterson9081]

Some people like less “puffiness” . Would I just make the circle an inch or two smaller?

[@azcavalier]

No idea. Go ahead and try!

[@erikas2936]

17” circle enough

[@НадеждаКаширина-н8с]

А разметки на окружности не нужно сделать?

[@tinahall6170]

Just went yesterday to look for a new Baby Lock serger.. what brand are you using, that has the extension???

[@omolovely9585]

Thanks what kind of sewing machine are you using

[@maianhdoan3090]

Thank you so much for the tutorial. Got it right by following your instructions the first time. With the short supply of PPE in the hospital, my sister who is a hospitalist really appreciate having a new hat and mask to wear each day. One question: what is the make and model of your sewing machine? I would love to get a machine that can do serger and sew in one instead of logging out my overlock machine. Thank you

[@erikachu5421]

Can you share your pattern please?

[@azcavalier]

There is no file. It's just explained at the beginning of the video how to make it.

[@ginamarie8719]

I am in search for a good sewing machine and serger, what does anyone know the name she uses?

[@ceciliaennin1320]

What brand machine is this if I may ask ?

[@nancyreeves6782]

What kind of interfacing do you use? Thanks

[@sanchez5187]

How did you measure the brim? I don’t see a pattern?

[@azcavalier]

Go back and watch from 1:14 to 1:45 in the video. The brim pattern is 15 inches long by 3 inches tall.

[@sanchez5187]

Neal Henshaw ok I’ll go back thank you 😊

[@kristinegarcia3584]

Hi Neal! thanks for this. I'm gonna make a few for my sister who works in the ER. What kind of fabric do you use? Cotton? Polyester?

[@azcavalier]

I think she just uses cotton.

[@lvmom5002]

Instead of leaving a small gap in the back for the cord stop, I put a buttonhole in the back and the the elastic thru that way.

[@catherinegreen7003]

Great Tutorial" it's so beautiful to share with everyone. I haven't read any of the comments on here so please forgive me if I'm repeating this but' Sewing over pins can really damage your machine & people who are new to Sewing are watching & may not know how this can not just break needles it can really harm their machines... I don't know if it's possible to add to the description {Sewing over pins can harm machine} just a friendly suggestion 🤗 Otherwise great Tutorial and feel free to Delete this Comment! 🤗♥️♥️♥️🤗

[@azcavalier]

Yes, it really depends on your machine and the foot you have. My wife on this video is sewing with a pretty nice Bernina with a walking foot. She *rarely* hits a pin. She's been sewing this way her entire life. But if you are using a less expensive machine and the regular foot that comes with it, then it is definitely a good idea to pull the pins out as you get to them.

[@catherinegreen7003]

@@azcavalier I bought my 1rst Bernina in the 90's and it's an excellent machine. Your wife appears to be quite skilled at Sewing but for the viewers who are taking their lessons from videos & may not have ever touched a machine before {When I learned there were no videos so I did it the old fashioned way by reading every book I could get my hands on 😄} Some people see & sew. Sewing over pins can not only break a needle that can fly in their eye God forbid it could damage the bobbin case or throw off the timing. I guess I'm kind of old school and have been teaching my grandkids who pretty much learn everything by watching videos. So it wasn't your wife I was referring to it's the young newbies who are starting out and perhaps have a beginner machine and cannot afford to have their machines serviced... My apologies if I Offended you or your lovely wife in any way... 🙏🏾🤗♥️

[@phyllisg4405]

What serger are you using? I love the work table. Thank you for this tutorial. You are an excellent teacher,

[@IMOO1896]

What do you mean, 3 folds between center and edge?

[@azcavalier]

Fold the fabric like a Z along that front edge to take up the slack in the circle. 3 folds a little less than an inch usually does it. Adjust their width as needed - remember, hats are forgiving. Pin the folds and it should lay flat and equal - brim and circle. Jolene

[@patriciajune5918]

Wouldn't the zipper foot work better to be sure you don't get the elastic caught in stitch, & than just use a sm. stitch back & forth instead of zig zag

[@MissDeeLo88]

Is it possible to make this same hat without the tie pull and just continue the elastic inside? Will the elastic measurements be the same?

[@danieladobson]

Dana Lopez I have the same question.

[@sarahtaylor2833]

Is it possible to make this hat without elastic? It looks like elastic is out of stock everywhere near me.

[@azcavalier]

Elastic is almost impossible to find right now. You could probably make it with anything that you fit through a cord stop. It might even work to just use shoestrings and tie them together around back. That is just me thinking out loud, though. She's never tried it.

[@ruthstans2229]

Made 2 gonna wear it instead of a hairnet

[@babsiemccoy8747]

I can’t get the of the brim neater the side where the elastic put in

[@kathydoolittle1694]

Babsie Mccoy Same! That’s the only part I struggle with. They look amazing...until that brim and zig zag stitch. Did you figure anything out yet to make it easier?

[@gurlwkinkscurls8146]

Are you selling these?

[@azcavalier]

No.

[@Lisapittsburghnurse]

@@azcavalier Hi Any chance I can see a picture of where the brim meets the hat? I'm not getting the area to turn over for the elastic
