Half Hour Harry Hat

Step 4 Pin and Sew

Choose an inside and outside for your hat. Write on the inside so you know which is which. Fold your hat in half with the inside facing out.

Pin up the straight side, and try it on your head for fit (please watch out for the pins)
If the fit is wrong, make your changes now. Much easier to mess up at this point and reposition pins than to sew it wrong and have to rip the seam out.

If it fits well, you're ready to sew it up!
Use your machine, or sew by hand, and make one straight seam up the side.
I wanted my hat a little shorter, with a more rounded tip, so I angled my seam in a bit towards the top (see last photo)

You can also turn the bottom of your hat up and hem it, but since we are using fleece or felt it will not unravel. A hem would also add extra bulk...
