Cut the Hat Fabric
Make a Mini Top Hat

Use your cardboard pieces to make the fabric pieces.

Use the shapes you have made to cut out your chosen fabric. You will need to add a 1/2" of fabric to each piece to allow for tucking of the fabric.

For the top of the hat, cut around a 1/2" larger than the circle.

For the hat band of the hat, trace around 1/2" larger than the band shape.

For the brim of the hat, trace around 1/2" larger than the brim circle.

For the bottom of the hat, simple trace the brim circle.

Next, let's attach the fabric to the top of the hat.
