Show N’ Tell: Tweed Hat

written by marieann

Tweed Hat

Caro found this link from one of our favorite crafty blogs, curiously crafty. It’s a really simple pattern to make your own lined sort of skater-style hat.

I made two changes. First, in step 5, I fused both two layers of interfacing, as well as two layers of typing paper into the brim. I wanted it to be stiffer.

Second, in step 14, I both pined the peak to the hat AND also basted the brim to the hat. This was really important because I had a hard time pining thru all the layers in my peak and it wouldn’t stay pinned straight and slipped when I tried to just do the sewing in the next step.

Otherwise it’s a great pattern! It fits snuggly and is so easy to do!~
