Witchs Hat Instructions

Fold the crown piece in half, right side together, to form a cone shape. Stitch the back seam 1/4 from the edge. At the top point of the crown, trim the seam allowance close to the stitching. Zig-zag finish the rest of the seam allowance.

With the right sides facing, sew the brim pieces together 1/4 from the outer edge. Snip the seam allowance all around the outer edge.

Turn both the brim and the crown inside out so that the right sides are facing outward.

With the right side of the crown and the top side of the brim together, align the brims notches with the crowns notches and back seam. Pin together at each notch. Align the edges in between the pins, using additional pins to keep the edges together.

Zig-zag stitch along the edges to set the brim into place. Stay-stitch 1/4 from the edge.

Press the seam allowance up towards the crown. Topstitch along the crown 1/8 from the seam. Now all Dolly needs is a broomstick and a black cat (and perhaps a peasant dress and twirl skirt), and she is ready to ride!
