DIRECTIONS:

To find the downloadable patterns click on the "GET PATTERNS" tab above.
NOTE: Seam allowances are all 1/4"
  1. Cut out two bills from fabric & very heavy iron-on interfacing
  2. Cut two 2.5" x 18" as visor band
  3. Cut one interfacing at 2.5" x 18" to face band
  4. Cut four 3.75" x 1.5" tab pieces
  5. Cut 3" of Velcro
  6. Iron the interfacing onto the two pieces of visor fabric & one of the bands.
  7. Take 2 tab pieces and sew around 3 edges. Clip the corners & turn right-side out. Repeat with other 2 tabs.
  8. Sew Velcro pieces onto the tabs near the sewn edge & sew around the whole rectangle. This will leave the seam allowance of the tab free to be put into the band.
  9. Sew the bill pieces together around the rounded side, good sides facing each other. Clip triangles out of the seam allowance.
  10. Flip right-side out & press. Top-stitch 1/4" in around the edge.
  11. Sandwich the unsewn side of the bill between the long sides of the band, lining the centers up.
  12. Sew the band together from end to end, catching the bill.
  13. Line the Velcro tabs up on the short ends of the band, one facing up & one facing down.
  14. Sew the short ends and the open long end as far in as you can before you get to the bill.
  15. Clip the corners off then flip the band ends right-side out.
  16. Fold & press the seam allowance in at the top of the band. Top stitch around the edges of the band.

JOANN HACKS:

  • Sewing the very curved bill into the band is easier if you start from the center & sew to the end, then do the opposite side.
