Sew a Where the Wild Things Are hat + pattern!

Step 8Sew the hat pieces into pairs!

Sew the hat pieces into pairs!
Place the pieces right side together (the nubby side of the fabric, remember!) and pin around the back curve.

Use the right edge of your presser foot as the seam allowance, and sew all around the curve, backstitching at the beginning and end of the seam.

Once you're done sewing both, take those scissors and trim the seam allowances. This'll make it turn out a lot smoother in the end. Don't get too close to the stitches, though! About an 1/8 of an inch away is just fine!
