A BERET LA VILLETTE
Ah the berets. Symbol of French elegance and Parisian chic. However, originally, it was the hat of the Béarn shepherds, created by the shepherds themselves in the 15th century, thanks to the wool of their sheep. He then popularized throughout French territory to military spheres. And today it is the attribute of all fashionistas wanting to wear a French look.
Today I teach you to make a beret without boss! With a nice detail thanks to the node at the back to add an additional femininity touch.
Supplies :
- 50 cm x 150 cm of Angora wool Forest green
- Recycled paper (coming from a shopping bag for example)
- 150 cm of satin ribbon 1.7 cm wide
- Two coils of matching son
- A pins box
- A rule / square
- A Craie tailor
- A Measuremer meter
- A sewing needle
- A sewing machine
- A pair of scissors
Step 1: Draw and cut your pieces:
1- On part of your paper folded in half, draw a 15cm semi -circle of radius. Cut it, leaving an additional 1cm on the Arc de Cercle (1). (This part will then be called part a)
2- On another part of your paper folded in half, trace the same arc of circle but this time draw a second circle inside, 9 cm of radius (2). Cut it by leaving 1 cm of seam on the arcs of the circle. (This part will then be called part B).
3- Check that the external parts of your patterns correspond to each other (3).
4- Pin your patterns on your woolen folded in half. Cut your pieces (4).
HAS The end of this step you should end up with 4 songs.
Step 2: Assembly:
5- Cut a 5cm x 0.7cm rectangle and hear it by hand in the center of part A which will become the outside of your beret (1) .
6- Fold your 150cm ribbon in half and pin them in half on your inner circle 1.5 cm from the edge. Then pin it until the ends of your ribbon meet on the other side (2).
7- Assemble place against Parts A and parts B (3).
8- Then assemble these two parts together with the place, leaving an opening of 12 cm so that you can return your beret. Also remember to pin so that the future node is in the axis of your fabric rectangle posed to Stage 5. Before returning, notch all your seams (4).
9- Turn your beret, iron the edges flat and close the opening with a seam by hand at edge.
