CAPtains log..

A bit more about cap making for those curious.

All the caps sold at the capalog are tailored from scratch. That means that the original shape comes from a paper pattern and a shape that I've sketched out. Once the pattern is fine tuned, all the fabric pieces are cut out and machined on the wee bernina sewing machine in house.

Follow the below tips to work out your head size and then cap size to order a cap.

Head sizing is pretty simple. I totally understand that it might be a bit unfamiliar... but I promise it is very similar to clothes sizing, in that you want to first work out your measurements and then just go a little bit bigger, for comfort. That's it.

For January's cap of the month, we're going something with a bit of a kick, The Raspberry Basic Cap.

The Raspberry Basic cap is a lovely bright but ever so slightly muted pink shade, a bit like a retro 80s pink.

Digital Gift cards for getting a cap made, are available to buy, right up until Christmas Eve!

So if you've left it last minute, or just been let down by couriers then I've got ya covered!

Giftcards enable someone to pick the cap and colour they would like a cap made in, and pick their own head-size. So it helps if you haven't got a clue what size to go for!

This sunday from 11-5pm The Capalog will be at The Crossing, just next to Kings Cross, with approx 100 other maker designers, as a part of Crafty Fox Market's biggest market of the year.

Now the batch has closed for this week's cap orders, the only way to get a cap before Christmas for a gift for someone, is at the last market of the year for The Capalog.
