Hat, Part 2

I was attaching the brim to the hat top the other day and we ended with step 12.

Step 13. Cover the brim top with the fashion fabric, basting it down.

Step 14.  Fit, pin and stitch the brim to the hat top. 















The stitches on the hat top will show but will be covered later.















 15. Add Fashion fabric to the bottom of the brim stretching in shape, pinning and then basting.

16.  Trim Fashion fabric at edge. 

17.  Cut on the bias a piece of fashion fabric long enough to cover the brim outside edge plus a couple inches.  This piece should be about 1.5 inches but it does depend somewhat on how thick your brim wire and felt are.

18. Sew bias piece over out side edge of brim covering edges of top and bottom fashion fabric.































This is where I am at so far, so to be continued

This is what the inside top looks like at this point.

And the outside looks like this.
