procedure
1

Decide on the size of the headgear

1
Measure the size of the person's head (head circumference)

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.

2

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.

procedure

Please print the downloaded data at the indicated print size (A4 or A3).

Please note that if you order the wrong print size, we will not be able to provide a refund.

procedure

Cut the pattern and paste it together

1
cut the pattern

Cut the pattern along the cut lines

2
Overlap the gluing margin and secure with tape.

Overlap the glue margins with the same number and tape them together.

3
Cut other parts in the same way.

Cut out a total of 4 types of parts using the same method.

Attach the adhesive to the outer material

1
Layer the adhesive interlining on the outer material

Layer the adhesive interlining* on the fabric used for the outer material. Use adhesive interfacing* that is adhesive on one side.

sewing terms
[Adhesive core]
By applying it to fabric with an iron, you can add tension to the fabric and prevent it from losing its shape.
2
Layer the adhesive interlining on the outer material

Crimp with a dry iron (do not use steam, etc.) at medium temperature.

\ Point /
Use adhesive interlining for thick fabrics.

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

1
First, cut the fabric into squares

Place the pattern on the fabric and cut it into squares.

2
Cut the inner circle

Use a pen to trace the oval shape inside the pattern and cut it out.

3
Cut other parts in the same way.

First, cut out the three types of outer parts in the same way.

\ Point /
Cut the fabric for the number of sheets written on the pattern

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.

Four
Cut the lining in the same way.

This time I will be using a satin fabric that is smooth to the touch. Darts* are also cut properly.

Transfer the pattern onto the fabric

1
Trace the pattern using Chaco paper

Place a piece of charcoal paper under the fabric and use a roulette to transfer the pattern.

\ Point /
Transcribe only the “minimum necessary parts”

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.

Next, rotate outer material A 90 degrees clockwise, overlap it with outer material C, and sew it together.

17
Sew the remaining sides together

Sew the remaining sides in the same way to create a regular cube (one side missing).

18
Sew the last side

Sew the remaining outer material C together. All six sides are now connected.

procedure

Complete

1
This is the basic way to make it

The basic recipe is now complete!

\ Point /
When changing the size of the square, pay attention to the minimum size.

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.

The following sizes and lining A cannot be changed.

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.
