title: Holmes What you need
---

To make Holmes, you will need the following:

- Basic sewing supplies
- About 0.5 metres of a suitable fabric ([see Holmes Fabric options](/docs/patterns/holmes/fabric/))
- About 0.5 metres of lining fabric ([see Holmes Fabric options](/docs/patterns/holmes/fabric/))
- A rigid material for the visor insert ([see Holmes Fabric options](/docs/patterns/holmes/fabric/))
- (Optional) About 1.0 metre of 1" (2.5cm) crossgrain ribbon or petersham.
- (Optional) 1 covered button about 3/4" (2cm) - 7/8" (2.2cm)

<Note>

Depending on style the ties and buttons are optional.  
- If you are making Buttonhole Ear Flaps you can omit the ties.  
- If you are making Tie Ear Flaps you can omit the button.  
- Ties can also be made from fabric if you prefer ([see Holmes Cutting](/docs/patterns/holmes/cutting/))  
- You can also use different width and type ribbons for the ties if you prefer.

We've imported this without history because the repo contains our blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi. Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo to import the full history.
