This is a beginner sewing pattern and won’t require a lot of your time. Experienced sewers might be able to finish this project within an hour at most!
We recommend sewing this scrub hat in a lightweight fabric. Lightweight fabric is always a good choice for hot summer days, but what about your hair? No one wants to be sweating and have their locks go limp.
To avoid this fate, take an elastic that’s the same width as the back of your headband (1/4 inch) and sew it inside before you cut out pieces.
Then once you’re done sewing, you can adjust how tight they are. Give yourself some breathing room by stretching those little suckers when everything’s sewn up!
Add woven labels to the front band of your scrub hat to give it a personalized touch. You can also write your name in thread on the front using an embroidery machine.
