Laura, our Floriani Educator, has given an amazing tutorial on how to make DIY Scrub Hats for your Healthcare Friends! Follow along below..

Supplies needed:
1 pc 11 ¾” circle
1 pc 10 ½ x 30 Strip for band of hat
1 pc 1” wide by width of fabric for tie

Step 1: On 10 ½” x 30” band fabric, fold in quarters so all four corners are lined up. Mark 1” in on the 30” side and 2 inches down on the 10 ½” side and draw a line connect the marks. Cut on the lie through all four layers.

Step 2: Place band right sides together and sew seam at ½” allong 10 ½” cut edge. Press the
seam to one side and top stitch the seam down to the band. Clip the fabric at the turn points
so the seam lays flat.

Step 3: Fold fabric circle in half and mark ½ points on opposite sides.
On the back of the hat, create three ½” pleats going away from the center on both sides.
There is no need to measure these, if necessary, you will make the pleats slightly deeper or
shallower to fit the band in the next step.

Step 4: With all six pleats pinned in place, fold the band in half to find center front to the back seam. Begin pinning the top of the hat at the center from working back toward the center back seam. Adjust pleats as necessary to fit to the center back seam. Repeat from the center front to the back seam on the other side of the hat top.

Step 5: Using a 3/8” to ½” seam allowance stitch cap top to the band, back tacking at both the beginning and the end. Seam allowance just needs to be the same all the way around. Press the seam allowance toward the band.

Step 6: on 1” strip of fabric, press both long raw edges to the center of the strip. Hint: Stitch Perfection Tape, which is a double side stick wash away tape that is needle friendly will hold your edges to the center. If you look closely at the picture you can see the stitch perfection tape running down the center of the strip, no need to burn your fingers with steam at the iron. Press the strip wrong sides together, to encase all raw edges. Sew a straight stitch close the edge of the strip to close. Hint: Because there is not much fabric against the feed dogs sometimes the strip does not want to start feeding under the foot. Place a piece of Floriani tearaway or Quilters Select tearaway at the beginning of the strip and it will feed in right from the start. Just simply tear away the stabilizer when the seam is complete.

Step 7: Flip up and press the seam on the bottom of the hand band approximately 3/8” to ½”. After the hem is pressed up, carefully line up the back seam and press in the bottom band fold, by matching the upper seam to the bottom fold. Pin out 5” from either side for
placement of your button hold in the next step.

Step 8: From the center back seam measure out five inches and place a mark for where your
buttonhole goes. On my sample the button holes are on the inside of the band against the
head, because that was what my friend requested. It helps to keep the “straps” out of the
way. With a square of Floriani Nylon Fusible Mesh, press where the button hole is going to
support the fabric. Hint: You can just make out a yellow headed pin at the five inch mark. If
you place the pin on the outside of the hat band you can see where to press you Floriani Nylon Mesh without using any marking pen and line up your buttonhole as well.

Step 9: Create a ½” buttonhole (or there abouts) at both 5” markings. Using a seam ripper,
open your button holes. Hint: To open your buttonholes, place a straight pin across the ends
to prevent cutting through the ends of the button hole with your seam ripper.

Step 10: Bring the botton edge of the band up to match the circular stitch line that attached
the top to the band. Moving around the hat press the bottom edge in place making sure the
band does not start to “get twisted” because you are pulling to tight. Now pin the band in
place. It helps to use a pin every inch or so.
Once it is pinned in place, sew very close to the folded hem, enclosing the seam that attached the band to the hat. I like to use a longer stitch length of 2.8 to 3.0. This will make any easing that needs to be done work out better. HINT: Remember if you have a little pleat in the band, its on the inside so no one will ever see it. You want to make sure the fold is even with the hat seam and the band stays straight. You can simply use your seam ripper and slightly push the band fullness in towards the foot while you are sewing and the “fullness” eases in.

Step 11: Using a straight stitch or decorative one if you would like, place a row of stitching just higher than the button holes, creating a casing for the draw cord. Although it is not necessary I like to use a row of straight stitches on both sides of the buttonhole.

Step 12: Using a safety pin, a bodkin etch, feed the draw cord through the back of the hat going in one buttonhole and out the other. Hint: If you have a small circular knitting needle it worked great! Once the draw cord is in place, put a knot on both ends to prevent it from pulling out from the casing.

Your scrub hat is complete and ready for donation. There have been some requests to sew a button onto both sides of the hat for elastic bands from face masks to attach to. I just do not know where to suggest they get placed so it is not included in these directions.

If you blow in you can notice that the one surgeon just has her mask on the outside of the scrub hate and around her ears, no button necessary for her!

Debbie is excited to show you the Hexi Wall-hanging (Doll Baby Quilt), she made for her Granddaughter, Evie. First she has to give credit for the idea and the Hexi’s to her very talented friend, Ashley Dell. Ashley made a quilt, using this technique that Debbie fell in love with. Her Hexi’s were placed randomly on the quilt. Debbie’s random placement kept turning into flowers, so I just went with it.

Here’s how to make it!

I’m excited to show you the Hexi Wall-hanging (Doll Baby Quilt), I made for my Granddaughter, Evie. First I have to give credit for the idea and the Hexi’s to my very talented friend, Ashley Dell. Ashley made a quilt, using this technique that I fell in love with. Her Hexi’s were placed randomly on the quilt. My random placement kept turning into flowers, so I just went with it.

1. You need to decide on the finished size you want your Hexi’s and cut your QUILTERS SELECT PRINT & PIECE FUSE LITE to that size using your AccuQuilt Cutter or your Digital Cutter (Scan N Cut, Cameo, Etc.)

2. Cut your Hexi fabric ½” larger than the Print and Piece Fuse.

3. Cut top fabric to preferred size.

4. Cut backing 3” larger than top on all four sides.

5. Fuse Print & Piece Fuse Lite Hexi to the Center of the Hexi Fabric.

6. Using QUILTERS SELECT GLUE STICK, fold all sides in.

7. Place Hexi’s on top fabric randomly or in a pattern. When satisfied with placement, use Glue Stick to temporarily adhere Hexi to top fabric.

8. Sprinkle QUILTERS SELECT FREE FUSE on RNK EMBROIDERY BATTING. Place fabric with Hexi’s over the batting. Fuse top to batting by pressing for 4 seconds on a wool setting.

9. Repeat for backing, centering top and batting over back fabric.

10. Thread machine with QUILTERS SELECT INVISIBLE THEAD and QUILTERS SELECT 80 WT. BOBBIN THREAD.

11. Place strip of RNK EMBROIDERY PERFECTION TAPE down the center of the quilt for a straight edge. Using edge of tape, stitch from top to bottom of quilt. Flip quilt over and continue stitching using previous stitch and edge of foot as a guide.

12. When you have finished channel quilting, trim backing fabric leaving 2” on all sides.

13. Fold backing in 1” on long sides and place a piece of STITCH PERFECTION TAPE along the fold.

14. Remove the protective paper from the Stitch Perfection Tape and fold over to the top of the quilt, forming a binding.

15. Stitch binding down using a blanket stitch or decorative stich of choice.

16. Stitch Hexi’s in place, using a blanket stitch if you’d like.
