This cap can be used for lots of costumes---Colonial period costume, Raggedy Ann, Mrs. Santa Claus, Strawberry Shortcake are just a few. I made this one for my granddaughter for a Strawberry Shortcake costume. It was really easy using a shower cap (cloth over plastic) as the base. I bought an extra large shower cap at Target for $3 and covered it with a circle of pink cloth (the lining from an old dress of mine). I centered the cloth on the top of the shower cap, pinned the top, then pinned the cloth around the cap where the elastic is sewn in. Then I stitched the cloth to the shower cap by hand. (You could do this on a sewing machine too.) I bought 2 yards of ruffled lace at a fabric store for $1.35 and stitched it around the edges of the cap to finish it off as I thought that would be easier than trying to hem the edges. So I made this cute cap for less than $5 and a little time. Here’s a picture of my granddaughter wearing it.
The strawberries on it are stickers from a Strawberry Shortcake sticker book.
