This is a digital, print-at-home sewing pattern for a lovely sports hat
with short brim from 1930. The pattern also works well for late 1920's
fashions.
The pattern comes with explanations for two different
versions. The original source material gave basic drafting instructions
and we have drafted the pattern for your convenience.
The
instructions are detailed and give photos and explanations of the
process. However, this is a vintage pattern using language and millinery
terms from the 1920's that may not be 100% familiar to the modern
reader.
The instructions given assume that the user has some
experience making hats already, so I would recommend this pattern for an
intermediate seamstress.
Fabric Requirements: you will need
about 1 yard of netine or a stiff interfacing, as well as the same
amount of a light-weight fashion fabric like voile, cotton or silk. 1/2
yard of ribbon is also needed.
The pattern suggests using an old hat
to shape the crown effectively, but a head form, or modeling on your own
head will work just as well as no heat or iron is required.
Formatted for both U.S. Letter and A4 paper sizes.

Printing
a PDF is easy. Just open, hit print, and make sure that your printer
scale is set to 100% (this should be the default setting in most cases).
