Unlike so many 30's patterns, this goes together simply and logically with good instructions. I top-stitched the seams and used my wing needle for some hem-stitching around the edge of the brim. It worked really well and hem-stitching is a 30's embellishment. The crown by itself rather resembles a bathing cap. I thought I should take in the seam to make it fit my head. Next time I'll play with the seam after I put on the brim, I think I made the crown a little too shallow. The initial sewing went together in an evening. The lining and the ribbon stay need to be slip-stitched in by hand, which I find pleasant. I recommend trimming the seams very well before attaching the lining. When I make this again, I will make the brim slightly wider and probably use several layers of crinoline or some buckram. I want a "hatty" hat. This one is fine for a little cotton hat but a little slouchy, it's a great base from which to start and an easy first hat project."
