Tonight I decided to finish my hat. I got the petersham ribbon sewn on the inside for a hatband. I threaded the plastic stiffener through the brim. Ta da. Not.
Clearly the trimmer string I decided to use isn't stiff enough. Back to the drawing board. BTW, your computer isn't malfunctioning, I deliberately blurred out my exhausted, sweat-shiny face. This way I don't have to worry about being blackmailed with my horrible picture! (or have it show up in the paper on my birthday or something.....)
