INSPIRATION

If necessary iron the cone again to get rid of any bumps or creases, but without pressing the stitched seam...
10
...as the seam should remain a soft fold. Fold in the seam at the opening (about 2,5 cm) and insert a long pin.
11
Sew a few stitches to hold the tuck you have just made. Use a double thread for the sewing.
12
Very gently, fold in the cut edge (4 to 6 cm), so that you get a soft fold. Don’t make a sharp crease.
13
Place the shape on the mannequin, with the tuck over the right eye. Secure the front with a long pin.
14
Decide how high you want the hat to sit at the back of the crown and secure it with a long pin to the head. I use pins with a stem of about 6 cm to avoid flattening the soft folds.
15
For this design, I like the bottom of the hat shape to undulate from the front right frontal lobe to the back left side.
16
Insert a pin or two to encourage that shape. Now you can go off in any direction you want.
17
Create a couple of drapes in the front. To do this, knead the straw forward to get the fold you want.
