Today’s mini-episode is in response to a suggestion from patron Joy, who wrote,
“I would love to hear an episode on hats – I’m in the southern hemisphere so I’m looking at bucket hats, but I’d be interested to hear your recommendations for types of interfacing for a bucket or wide brim hat, any interlining for extra toasty beanies for winter, or teddy fleece…oh so many possibilities…”
We chat about how to give hats structure (no floppy brims here!), suggest fabrics, and share a bunch of cool indie patterns!
