Hokuto Sumeragi - Mad Hatter #53

interfacing the top

I don't like this felty, fuzzy interfacing (except for neckties - and I've made two neckties in my life), but somehow I always end up buying it... I think it's maybe because there isn't a big variety for sale in local shops of non woven interfacing, without glue.

When I pinned the hat parts to the head, I realised the fabric is thin enough for one to notice the stiff understructure. So, to soften that, I slip stitched two layers of that felty interfacing to the inside of the top of the hat. It works.

+ What a good way to use up something filling up space in my storage. And it worked fine, the top is still soft, and the hat still fluffy, but it sits neater on top of the felt structure.

- An extra but needed step.

THE CUNNING PLAN 

Sew the brim to the crown, and sew the reinforcing strip on top.
