Choosing a fabric to line your hats
Can I line my hat with satin?
Absolutely! It will be tricky be satin is slippery so here are a few things to keep in mind.
Because Satin has no stretch it is super important to cut this fabric on the bias/diagonally. This will give it some stretch.
You also want to use lots of pins. It isn’t going to be as easy as working with fleece but with a little time and planning you will have success for sure!
Let me know below if you did it. What were the challenges you had?
1. Trace hat. 2. Cut out liner.
3. Glue or sew seam of liner.
4. Sew lining to hat
5. Turn hat right side out and sew opening closed.

Good tutorial. I want to line my hats to keep my curls & coils from getting frizzy.
I am sure this paragraph has touched all the internet viewers,
its really really good post on building up new website.
My daughter is new to Wyoming. Cold windy winter. I am lining all the hats I recently made her. I would like to line my granddaughter’s hats with the ear flap. Would I apply the same principle?
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have people ask me all the time to line hats, but I dont know what I have been so intimidated. Ive got a coupon for Joanns and think I am will run over there now. How does the fabric glue do with washing?
What is the hat has some stretch, but the flannel doesn’t have as much stretch – how would you recommend getting the right size for the lining?
Finally got around to watch hung this. Headed in to Joanns now to get some fleece! One question…would you match the thread more to the hat or the liner? Thanks for the inspiration. I’m making some hats for cancer patients, and with winter coming, I thought it would be nice if they are lined. 🙂
I would say hat – although you shouldn’t see the thread when you are done – it will be hidden 🙂 Sounds wonderful Lori – I’m sure the lining will feel great 🙂 xo
That’s what I was thinking but just wanted to get your opinion. Hit the jackpot at Jo-Ann today…all the solid fleece was on sale for $2.99/yard, plus there was a 20% off coupon! Lots of warm, fleecy hats coming down the pike. 🙂
This was great! I also would like to see how to line an earflap hat!
