| The inner cap, with the zipper in the middle, to have access to the inside of the hat-purse. |
OK, I got a little bored with the sleeves, I think I dread the upcoming gatherings and ruffles, and got a little fixated on the hat, so I started the hat!
I started by sewing the inner cap, adding a zipper in the middle. This will sit directly on my head, and the zipper will allow access to the inner part of the hat, which will be a purse for my belongings. This costume will have lots of storage, the hat-purse and two big pockets!
So, I sewed each seam once, with bigger backstitches, and then top stitched each seam, and added a blanket stitch to the raw edges, so they won't fray. Then I folded the middle seam inside, and sewn it to the zipper with a top stitch. The zipper colour doesn't match my fabric, so I left a few millimetres over the zipper teeth, to hide them. This will only be seen if I take the hat off, anyway.
+ This part was quick to sew, and I tried to make it neat, even if it won't be much seen.- The zipper is the wrong colour, and I'm hoping the engineering part of this hat will work as planned.
THE CUNNING PLAN
Go on with the rest of the hat, can't wait to see it assembled!
