Sew a warm shearling hat

This is the most difficult step for me.  I have devised a cheat over the years to hold leather seams together without the traditional gluing.  I use a heavy duty stapler with 1/2 inch staples.  The one I have is made for 30 sheets of paper.
Turn the shearling tube fleece out and place the top inside up in the end of it.  Make sure to center the shearling seam at the back of the hat.
Lay the lining in place and fold the edge under to prevent fraying and match edges of all pieces.  Fasten firmly with staples in the outter 1/8 inch. 
This is where all pieces can be adjusted to remove wrinkles and make the sewing smooth.

Sew around the hat at the 1/4 inch seam allowance.  Remove the staples as you come to them to prevent breaking a needle or forgetting them.
