Cloth Nurses Cap
Does anyone have directions for making a vintage cloth nurses cap? I can't seem to find anything with enough instructions for my limited sewing experience.

I saw that one but couldn't understand how to put it together. It may just be beyond my ability.

might be cheaper in the long run to buy one off ebay?

My Mom was a nurse. Her cap was actually a heavy piece of cloth in the shape of a rectangle with small convex curve on one long edge. She would heavily starch it and then shape it into the proper cap shape for her school. Different schools had different style caps. I think nursing students still have pin ceremonies, but I don't think they do caps anymore. My Mom was from the day of dresses only and white from head to toe. If you find a cap today that's stitched together, it may not be authentic.

Thank you for this interesting information.

My sister was a nurse. She said you knew where each nurse went to school by her cap. It was a sad day for her when they stopped wearing their caps.

Each school of nursing had their own cap style. Of course if your program closed then you could purchase a regular run of the mill cap. Just copy from the older nurses as I think most of the programs not longer have caps.
