There was a flat cap already cut out, so I sorted out the pieces, gave them a press and started pinning. After sewing in the darts, I needed to attach the brim piece which included mitered corners. I have avoided mitered corners since my A-Levels, and now I remember why. I was using a soft cord fabric, which frayed and made it more difficult, but we got it to work eventually.
I love the mustard yellow, it's so warm and cosy. The little tweed embellishment has little specks of yellow in it too, which works really great. I loved making my first hat, and I'm seriously looking forward to loads more! It still surprises me, after sewing for several years, how quickly some nonsensical looking pieces of fabric come together into a fitted garment. I think that's why I love sewing - it's always great to see an idea you had come to life.
