Learn to Sew a Cycling Cap

Note: the class described below is no longer happening, but you can still learn how to make a cycling cap following the instructions in my carefully-crafted downloadable cycling cap sewing patterns. The included instructions include illustrations and are so detailed that in over 12 years selling them, I’ve only ever had two people contact me with questions!

If you’ve wanted to set aside the time to finally make yourself a cycling cap, why not book a class? Meet some new people, get help to get over any tricky bits, and check that project off your list?

Ellie at Klum House, a professional seamstress and sewing instructor, is teaching a cap sewing class in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, November 5 from 1 to 5pm. She will be teaching using Little Package sewing patterns.

Level 2 Sewing Class: Some prior sewing experience needed

Ever wanted to make your own cycling cap? Well, here’s your chance! The cycling cap is an essential part of a cyclists daily wear — performing the multiple functions of keeping the sun & rain out of your eyes while providing an under-layer to your helmet- all the while adding style to your look.

This class takes functional sewing projects to the next level. A cycling cap is a great project to spend the afternoon learning, because it’s approachable, yet challenging enough to need an instructor. In this class, students with a basic knowledge of sewing will design, cut, and construct a cycling cap complete with elastic band to ensure proper fit. We will be using Little Package’s 4-Panel Cycling Cap Pattern with Earflaps & instructions during this class. You will go home with a cap that you made yourself with your own two hands! Ellie Lum, a sewing teacher with over a decade of experience teaching sewing and making messenger bags, will guide you through the process step-by-step, in a seamless session of panel-sewing.

Have fun!
