Handmade Bike Caps! 2015.03.07 Cycling Caps, Sewing Mr. Joe brought it to my attention via Instagram that he has been busy making cycling caps from the sewing pattern I offer.

Maybe I ran out of plastic in the studio. Maybe someone special requested a soft bill. I honestly can’t say when it happened, but when it did it was magic. I stumbled right onto the perfect solution: just the right filling, and just the right amount of it, and lots of top-stitching; and right off the bat I had the very best soft bill there was. And yet people are still not sure they want a soft bill. Why not? Because they’re floppy? I’ve got news for you: they’re not. Not mine. Mine don’t crack or warp either, and you can fold and stuff them into […] Read more
