I made the crown a little bigger than I needed so I could make a leather band on the inside to size it better. I used several coats of undiluted resolene to seal it. The only real regret was I made it to round. on the wire for the brim did you hand sew or use sewing machine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackDragon Report post Posted April 26 I hand stitched it all. I punched the holes in the brim then just pushed the needles through the thin leather I used for piping while feeding the wire. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
