"Think, straw hat! ..
Belligence Some and rag.
Not a dress, not a coat, and not jacket ... "

Make a straw hat - there is nothing easier! Take a ribbon from straw, a blank and sew a hat of the desired shape ... However, it is so easy for all for professionals, and for beginner hats, a way is suitable.
The hat I suggests to do is guided by this article - Canier. Chanotier (Fr. Canotier - Rower) - French Straw Hat of Rigid Forms with Cylindrical Tullee and Light Fields. Since the beginning of the 20th century, over several decades has been a popular headdress and fashion accessory.
In order for the hat to be more even, as well as to accelerate the process, we offer to use a semi-finished product - a straw round napkin or a bottom from an unnecessary human hat (in this case, it is very desirable that the largest circle of the hat (fields) fit in the bottom of the human hat, t. E from it is suitable for this method only the upper part.
Materials: Straw napkin or straw human hat, suitable in color and texture of threads, glue for fixing the ends of a straw ribbon, black velvet tape (or other, at your request), decoration for a hat - bouquet, lace, etc.
Instruments: Manicure and ordinary scissors, centimeter, sewing machine (if you are friends with her), needle with a narrow eye.
- Sizes Determination Hats: We measure the cut circle of the doll, then we split the resulting number to 3.14 (number PI) and we obtain the diameter of the top of the hat, the height of the tulley and the width of the fields determine to your liking.
- Beginning of work: On the original item (hat or napkin), measured through the center of the segment (1), equal to the diameter of the top of the hats, disappear the circle of the desired diameter (2). We pretend the size of the hats fields and disappear excess, you can attach to the doll to make sure that you all arrange (3). The remaining material is obscured to get a single straw tape, from which we will make Tulia (4).
- Tula: Carefully fasten the straw ribbon at the hat with the hat and begin to sew it with the circles, forming a tul (5). If you have the experience of sewing on the sewing machine and it is possible to sew around, put the machine to the widest stitch and carefully position several rows - a sufficient amount for the height of the Tulley (6). At the same time, you need to pull the tape slightly slightly, and already stitched a piece on the contrary try to promote forward so that the top of the hat remains a "pancake", but accepted the shape of the cylinder. If you sew manually, do the same seam "Forward needle", trying to make stitches of such a length, what they are on the top and fields of the Hats.
My observation: the typewriter is faster and smaller than the hat itself, but the smooth seam is not very easy, because The material is slippery, in addition, the stitch width on the source material and on the part that is stitched by you may not coincide. Manually slower, but more evenly seam, however, it is more loose. It is important to choose exactly the color of the thread as much as possible. And not to forget that if something went not quite so, this piece of hats can be almost completely reormed.
four. Fields: When the height of the Tuli is sufficient, finish the seam, cut the threads. Make sure that 2 hats elements are suitable for a friend in diameter (7). Take the ring that will be the hats fields and connect the tulle with the fields (8), on the typewriter or manually. The ends of the straw ribbon will be built with a drop of glue, grab the thread, partially hiding under the last row of the straw tape from which the fields are made.
five. Hats decoration: Choose a ribbon to decorate the hats, attach it with threads, leaving the ends loosely hang, or knit a lush bow, decorate the front part of the hat with lace or fabric colors (9).
That's all. In the bag!
