mandie_rwI cut up the woven hat today and stitched it to the buckram pieces. Not perfect, as you can kinda see the buckram through the weave, but it's not too horribly ugly to wear, I don't think! The stitches are very giant, messy, and obvious - but only if you're closer than two feet from it, haha. Acceptable.
Less acceptable: how the pieces of this hat are fitting together.
Looks promising:
Hmmm. *tilts head, narrows eyes* Less so.
Looks like the fit of the pieces might be a little off. Just a hair. Tiny bit. Almost unnoticeable.
And this is the second time I've put this hat together, btw. I thought it was me doing something stupid the first time, maybe three years ago? I'm really starting to think it's the pattern, though...
Just measured the actual pattern pieces, and the crown edge measures 18 1/8, the brim 16 1/4. IT'S NOT ME. *feels validated* This is Lynn Mc Masters' Natural Form bonnet 1877-82, view A, btw. Which I am surprised at, because I've used other patterns of hers that had the pattern pieces, you know, actually match. Of course I can make it work,it's not a day of wasted hat-sewing...but it IS annoying!
