Burnley and Trowbridge Co. | How to Make an 18th Century Cap- Part 2 @BurnleyandTrowbridge | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Welcome to part 2 of 3 in our 18th century cap sew along! (Get caught up with part 1 here:youtu.be/Z-GHcJQ2S-Y)

Caps like the one in this sew along were an everyday accessory worn for the feminine wardrobe at all social levels in the 18th century. They were also frequently worn by children. Caps could be simple to extravagant and while they were fashionable, they were also a practical accessory for hygiene as they covered the head and protected the hair from external dirt and dust.

In this sew along we use the B&T cap pattern which has two different styles (get yours and see the supply list here: burnleyandtrowbridge.com/collections/caps) but the steps in this tutorial could be applied to any 18th century cap you're working on!
