First cut the peices. You need 4 of the triangle pieces both in material and lining (8 in total) and 2 rim peices in both material and lining (4 in total)


1) take 2 of the triangle pieces and pin the face to face along one side edge , Sew together along the edge. Finish by serging/overlocker or zig zag.


2) Take another peice and pin face to face on the other side of one triangle piece, Sew together.
Take you last piece and pin face to face on another unfinished edge of the hat, Sew together.


3) now join the remaining side. and sew This forms your hat peice. Should be a full circle.





4)Now we make the rim- Take to peices of rim and pin face to face, now sew


5) open out and it should be a circle.

6) Now pin to the top of the hat and sew all around. Put to one side.






7) Now repeat 1-3 with lining.
8) make rim as you did for main material.


9) pin to the hat face to face with a piece of ribbon in between (you could make your own ties if you don't want to use ribbon)




10) sew all around.

11) Now place the 2 hat peices face to face making sure you tuck the ribbon in and pin all around.


12) sew all aroung leaving a small gap
