I did add a liner for the faux leather hats and grosgrain ribbon around the rim but, this is an excellent easy and quick pattern to use when working on deadlines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893557059790720322.post-7228672197820514912013-07-15T18:02:38.377-04:002013-07-15T18:02:38.377-04:00What a great post!

It had to be done quick. <br />If the hat's too big, I would take it in at the base, but do leave some volume on the top to be able to pull the top toward the brim and tack it down, to get the proper look.melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13329435388509578871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8893557059790720322.post-50073239469533880982011-09-27T19:08:58.794-04:002011-09-27T19:08:58.794-04:00I sewed the little edges back up and have the brim...I sewed the little edges back up and have the brim ready to sew on but the hat looks HUGE!
