Co-ordinating prints in quilting fabrics offer all sorts of wonderful options for hats. Medium-Heavy interfacing is used to add structure to the hat. An18mm bias tape maker is used to make co-ordinating binding. |
A wide brim with a plain edge makes a wonderfully shady hat. This one is in quilting weight cotton and has a yo-yo trim. Because it is a small size, it only needs medium-light interfacing to give it some structure in the crown, and a combination of light and heavy in the brim. |
Pinwale corduroy is a lovely weight fabric for winter hats for kids. This one has button detailing and co-ordinating straight-grain binding and lining. This is a small size hat, and it has medium-light interfacing. |
