Have a fitted baseball cap that’s too big? Learn how to make it smaller with this quick and easy guide!
Measuring the circumference of your head
To make a fitted baseball cap smaller, you will need to measure the circumference of your head. You can do this by wrapping a measuring tape around your head, just above your ears. Make sure the tape is level all the way around. Once you have your measurement, you will need to find a fitted baseball cap that is at least 1/2 inch smaller than your head measurement.
Tracing the bill of the baseball cap
Before you make any cuts, you’ll want to trace the bill of the baseball cap onto the front of the crown. This will give you a template to follow when you’re cutting the crown down to size. Once you’ve traced the bill, remove it from the crown and set it aside.
Cutting the excess fabric off the bill
If your baseball cap is too big, don’t despair! You can make it smaller so that it fits better. All you need is a sharp pair of scissors and a little time.
First, try the adjustable strap in the back of the cap. If that doesn’t work, you can cut off some of the excess fabric on the bill. Be careful not to cut too much, or your baseball cap will be too small.
Sewing the bill back on
Sewing the bill back on is the best way to make a fitted baseball cap smaller. You will need a sewing machine, a needle and thread, and scissors. First, cut the bill off of the cap. Next, sew the bill back on to the cap, making sure to sew it on securely. Finally, trim any excess thread and you are finished!
Cutting the excess fabric off the sides of the baseball cap
If you find that your baseball cap is too big, there are a few things you can do to make it smaller. One option is to simply cut the excess fabric off the sides of the cap. This will make the cap smaller overall, but it may also change the shape of the bill.
Another option is to adjust the back strap. Most fitted baseball caps have a strap in the back that can be tightened or loosened. If you tighten the strap, it will make the hat smaller and more fitted to your head.
If you don’t want to alter your baseball cap, you can try wearing it backwards or wearing a headband under it to help keep it in place.
Sewing the sides of the baseball cap together
If your baseball cap is too large, you can make it smaller by sewing the sides of the baseball cap together. This will make the baseball cap smaller and more fitted to your head. You will need a needle and thread, and you will also need a pair of scissors.
First, cut a small hole in each side of the baseball cap, about an inch from the top of the baseball cap. Next, take a needle and thread, and sew the two sides of the baseball cap together. Start at the top of the hole that you cut, and sew down to the bottom of the hole. Then, tie a knot at the bottom of the hole to secure the thread. Finally, trim any excess thread from the bottom of the hole.
Wearing your baseball cap
To make your baseball cap smaller, start by putting on the cap and folding down the brim. Then, take a pen and mark where the brim hits your forehead. Next, remove the cap and use scissors to cut along the line you just made. Finally, put the cap back on and adjust it until it fits snugly.
