You can get Kepi patterns from Alter Years. They have tons of historical patterns and books on a wide variety of subjects for the re-enactor/costumer/crafter.

I think, if I'm not mistaken, that BEAVERSLAYER, one of our members, did (or has) a tutorial right here on this site on making a kepi. It's been several years & I haven't seen him post for a good while, but if it survived the crash, it should still be here somewhere..

There should be a thread on this from the past year. I posted some pics of a Kepi I bought in 1979 at the sandal makers shop on pier 39 in San Francisco.
