View A Part 2

Interior Layer


The interior layer of View A is a simple Brim with ruffle/lace trim.

You will need to cut 1 of each Brim and Crown. These are both cut on the bias. Once cut out, using your prefered method, mark the placement lines for the ruffle/lace trim. The pattern is marked for 1 inch trim. I have made my own trim using 1 inch strips of flocked poly organza. It has been given rolled hems on both raw edges and then gathered. This isn't necessary, you can use store bought trim.


Sew the trim down row by row, starting with the outmost row and working inward toward the crown/brim seam. The last piece of ruffled trim will actually be placed in the crown/brim seam.


Remove the excess trim to make the brims edges more apparent. 


Now, matching centers, seam the brim to crown.


As Exterior layer, notch and trim Brim/Crown seam.




Now matching center lines, apply internal layer to buckram form.



It's completely possible to apply the layers to buckram by hand. You can just use a whip stitch and puncture through from interior layer to exterior layer and whip your sewing thread around outside wired edge to puncture interior layer again. 

Also, if you are using a home machine, please use a heavy needle, and be careful at the brim/crown seam. There are 2 lines of wire at that point.

Next we will do the bias binding tutorial.
