Pattern Description:

This is a great soldier's flight cap sewing pattern based on the popular 1940's design and the current Air Force uniform cap. It's super easy to sew and only takes about an hour to make. It's the perfect hat pattern for soldier or pin-up costumes, or just a great fashion statement.

Size: Medium. The finished inside measurement is 22 1/2". You can also make the hat smaller by setting your printer to print the pattern at less than 100%. You can even make this hat into an adorable fascinator by printing it at 50% and sewing a couple of hair pins to the bottom.

Pages are formatted for both US Letter and A4 paper.

This is an original design based on a popular 1950's silhouette, not a reproduction.
