With Ouma and the old Singer to help, the hat making project got under way! (They did all the work between them!)
The hat is constructed of a thin cow suede with a cotton lining and some interface - the pattern was a Simplicity one, I think....
The Singer, equipped with a modern leather needle, had no difficulty with three layers of suede plus two of lining, but I had a tough time fitting the hat under the foot of the machine to do the sewing.
So here is the beginning of a very young German Leather Merchant, for the Minnesota Ren Fest - Oh yes, a plume still needs to be acquired...!
