Comfy Crown
The design of this crown is so soft and comfy that it can be worn and
loved all day! Made with either continuous elastic or a snap closure.
And if your little one is as messy as mine, you can throw the crown
in the wash and it will come out looking as good as new.
There are 3 styles in this pattern to cover all styles from classic king
to beautiful princess and snow queen! The crown is completely
reversible, so you can choose to use different prints on each side for
two crowns in one, or one fabric for both sides.
This Fresh Designs pattern is suitable for beginner sewers and can be made in any medium weight woven
fabric. The crown is one size fits most, from toddler through to adult.

Now take your elastic (see p3 for length) and pop a safety pin on
the end. Insert the elastic in to one end of your elastic casing.
Use the safety pin to pull the elastic through the casing.
STOP when the end on your elastic is 1 (2.5cm) from end of the casing (which you
just inserted the elastic in to). Measure another 1/2 (12mm) further along the casing
and STITCH down the width of the casing to secure your elastic.
Now take the end of the casing and fold it over 1/4 (6mm)
Then fold over again on the stitch line. Press.

FOR CONTINUOUS ELASTIC: Turn one crown piece over so that it is right side UP. Place elastic with
one end on each side of the crown. The bottom of the elastic should be 1/2 (1.2cm) from the bottom
edge of the crown.

Lay your other crown piece down on top with right side DOWN.
Your elastic pieces should now be sandwiched between the two crown pieces.
16
Sew around the perimeter of your crown piece, carefully maintaining a 1/2 (1.2cm) seam allowance.
TIP: Use the edge of your interfacing as a guide to sew around - it should be 1/2 (12mm) from the
edge all the way around.
Leave a 3 (7.5cm) gap on the straight bottom edge.

Clip the curves and corners as shown below for the crown piece of your choice.
Be VERY careful when clipping in to the corners - you want to cut AS CLOSE to the stitches as possible
but do NOT cut the threads (or your crown will start to fall apart!)
19
Turn your crown right side out through the gap at the bottom. Push out all of the corners using a chopstick or blunt pencil. Then press your crown piece carefully, paying extra attention to the gap at the bottom - you want it to be straight, neatly folded and for both folds to be sitting neatly on top of each other.
topstitch around the edge of the crown piece approx 1/8 (3mm) from the edge. Take extra

care when sewing along the bottom (closing the gap) to be sure that the two layers are sitting neatly.
