Decide on the size of the headgear
The square headgear is designed to be worn from the bottom. Therefore, measure your head size in advance to confirm the size that will fit.
Once you have decided on the size, purchase the pattern and download it from the link provided after purchase.
Sizes vary depending on the product.

Cut the pattern and paste it together
Cut the pattern along the cut lines
Overlap the glue margins with the same number and tape them together.
Cut out a total of 4 types of parts using the same method.
Attach the adhesive to the outer material
Layer the adhesive interlining* on the fabric used for the outer material. Use adhesive interfacing* that is adhesive on one side.
- [Adhesive core]
- By applying it to fabric with an iron, you can add tension to the fabric and prevent it from losing its shape.
Crimp with a dry iron (do not use steam, etc.) at medium temperature.
There are several types of adhesives. This time I'll use a thick type to make sure the square shape comes out clearly.

cut the fabric
Place the pattern on the fabric and cut it into squares.
Use a pen to trace the oval shape inside the pattern and cut it out.
First, cut out the three types of outer parts in the same way.
For example, if it says "x2 pieces", you need a total of 2 parts, one on the left and right.For outer material C, it says "x4 pieces", so cut out four square parts.
This time I will be using a satin fabric that is smooth to the touch. Darts* are also cut properly.
- [Darts]
- To make the fabric three-dimensional, a part of the fabric is sewn into a triangular shape and pinched.
Cut two pieces of lining, one on each side.
Transfer the pattern onto the fabric
Place a piece of charcoal paper under the fabric and use a roulette to transfer the pattern.
This pattern has a seam allowance of 10mm.
Therefore, basically, if you sew 10mm from the edge of the fabric, it will be finished according to the pattern.
However, it is recommended that you copy the darts* and joint stamps*, as this will make it easier to sew.
Please transcribe the part shown on the left for reference.
- [Joint seal]
- Marks for overlapping fabrics

- To make the fabric three-dimensional, a part of the fabric is sewn into a triangular shape and pinched.
sew
The first thing to sew is lining A. Fold the fabric inside out* and sew the darts*.
- [Middle table]
- Layering the fabrics face to face together
- [Darts]
- To make the fabric three-dimensional, a part of the fabric is sewn into a triangular shape and pinched.
Layer the two linings face-to-face* and sew the "head".Do not sew between the seam stops, leaving a hole.
- [Middle table]
- Layering the fabrics face to face together
Finally, sew the chin. The lining is now complete.
Turn the hole in outer material A (around the face) and the lining inside out* and sew all the way around the hole.
- [Middle table]
- Layering the fabrics face to face together
Turn the hole in outer material A (around the face) and the lining inside out* and sew all the way around the hole.
- [Middle table]
- Layering the fabrics face to face together
Make a slit around the hole to prevent it from being stretched when it is turned over.
Insert your hand through the neck hole, grab the fabric and turn the whole thing over.
Fold the chin fabric in half and stack it with the inside facing out*.
- [Middle table]
- Layering the fabrics face to face together
Be careful not to sew only the folded part and not the unfolded part.
Next time, fold the other half to the inside side*.
- [Middle table]
- Layering the fabrics face to face together
Sew the other half to join outer materials A and B.
Layer the two pieces of outer material C and sew them together.
Then sew one more piece on the side, outer material C.
Overlap the sides of outer material B and outer material C and sew them together.
Next, rotate outer material A 90 degrees counterclockwise, overlap it with outer material C, and sew it together.
Next, rotate outer material A 90 degrees clockwise, overlap it with outer material C, and sew it together.
Sew the remaining sides in the same way to create a regular cube (one side missing).
Sew the remaining outer material C together. All six sides are now connected.
Cut all corners diagonally. By doing this, the corners will come out neatly when you turn it over.
Pull out the fabric through the hole you made in the lining and turn the whole thing over.
stuff with cotton
Fill the hole in the back of the head with cotton little by little.
First, stuff cotton under your chin. This is the hardest part to fill in, so do it first.
close the hole in the back of the head
Once you have stuffed the cotton to a certain extent, close the hole in the lining.You can also close it by hand sewing it in a U-shaped pattern*.
- [U-ji Festival]
- A method of sewing that prevents seams from appearing on the front and back sides of the fabric. A type of "blind stitch" used when closing the opening, etc.
Complete
The basic recipe is now complete!
If you make a cube with a smaller size than this, it will become smaller than the size of the head and you will not be able to maintain a beautiful square shape.
Please do not change the "face hole," "neck hole," and "length from hole to chin" shown in red below. It will no longer be sewn to the lining. Lining A cannot be changed either.
