My husband came home this weekend and wanted some fabric surgical hats. He is tired of wearing the ill fitting disposable hats that are provided to him in the OR. So while he was home and I could measure his head, I got to work. You will need to fit off the following two sheets with no margins.
Cut out your pattern and tape the stars so that they match up when overlapped. I actually printed off two of the patterns and instead of having to place them on a fold, I could center them on my shirt perfectly. If you want to do it this way, just tape them together on the fold lines.
Place your patterns on your fabric, or in this case an old t-shirt. He wanted it comfortable, breathable, and with a cool pattern on it.
Pin the top of the hat to the top of the side piece, with right sides together. Then sew together with 1/2 inch seam allowance.
Take a ribbon and sew it around the bottom of the sides. Leave 6 inches hanging off both sides, which you will use to tie. Fold the ribbon up and sew along the edge giving it a finished look from the outside.
And there you have it. Easy as pie! A stylish well fitting surgeons hat for your new on the horizon career in the operating room!
He's thrilled that he gets to be my model, can't you tell?
Super COOL! I am making some of these! My husband no longer frequents many surgery suites, but one of my dear friends is a midwife and she assists on c-sections regularly... She'll LOVE this!!! :) Thanks bunches and bunches!!!
ReplyDeleteHow did you EVER figure that out! WOW - it looks so good! Yes, I can tell that he is way thrilled to be the model. Whoops! He almost smiled in that last picture.
ReplyDeleteVery 'Scrubs' (in a good way!) Well done! And yes, he does look excited, in a very husbandy way LOL
ReplyDeleteHey Miss Shannon! So glad you stopped by my blog today. Thanks for letting me know about the books too! My dad works for DI and they have so many old books that they don't have enough room for them all. I guess there are more books than people who want to buy them;) They end up putting them to recycle. AHHHHH! My dad has been wonderful enough to bring a lot of them home to me. I just love how they look and it's fun to have something wholesome to read. Thanks for letting me know just how special they are;) I'm now going to snoop around your blog while I'm here.

What a great idea! I hope you'll link up this week to Make It Wear It!
ReplyDeleteAren't those head covers supposed to be sterile? Is he wearing a new one for each surgery? How are you sterilizing them at home?
ReplyDeleteYes they have to be sterile! EVERYTHING he wears into the or does. From his hat to his scrubs to his socks to his shoes. I do alot of sterlizing! In fact, I'll post about it later this week!
