Summer hat

I'm making a bucket hat for my granddaughter to wear on the beach.  The pattern books didn't have exactly the hat I wanted, so I used Pellon grid fabric to made an adjusted pattern.
















Iron on interfacing gives it extra body.  Most of the seams require grading, clipping, notching.














...and pinning...lots and lots of pinning.  The top lining is hand stitched to the crown...tiny little stitches...
