Hokuto Sumeragi - Mad Hatter #20

the hat's cut pieces

Without any changes to the original draft, I cut the hat's pieces in the grosgrain. The hat has: 2 pieces for the brim, 6 pieces for the inside head support, a strap, in 2 pieces, 2 big crown pieces, and one top circle.

I cut a cylinder out of leftover stiff felt, from Yuuko's butterfly brooch, and interfacing for the brim, in leftover denim, also from last summer's loot.

Then I hand stitched the inner cylinder, which will both be the structural layer, to add height to the hat, and double as a purse.

In a way, Pedro's idea of a purse inside the hat, helped me figure out a structure for it. Definitely a great idea!

+ I'm glad I was able to use leftovers from my stash, for the hat's innards.
- I'm still rooting this will be balanced and work, once I put stuff inside the hat.

THE CUNNING PLAN
