Blocking the Hat Brim -
Lay the hat brim out flat and spray with water.Dampen, But do not soak.
Pin to a blocking board and let dry.
This will take out any ripples or bumps.
Stiffening the Hat Brim_
This is the boning, I purchased at Hobby Lobby.
it comes in a 2 yard package.
Take the fabric cover off.
First - sc around the boning, all around the hat brim.
When you come to the end, tuck the ends together and sc.
join and securely sew closed.
I did find that the ends do not want to stay together.
So I used some clear packing tape, and taped the ends together,
over lapping about 2 inches.
And this worked great.

The Flower and Butterfly are
attached to the side of the hat.
This hat is so pretty and fun to make.
I think it would look awesome in
bright yellow and black.
