The site of Fellbach-Schmieden in Germany has provided fine examples of wooden animal statues from the Iron Age. Since Neolithic times, carved wooden vessels are known, for example, from the Linear Pottery culture wells at Kückhofen and Eythra.Įxamples of Bronze Age wood-carving include tree trunks worked into coffins from northern Germany and Denmark and wooden folding-chairs. The spears from Schöningen ( Germany) provide some of the first examples of wooden hunting gear. I hope this is helpful.Woodworking shop in Germany in 1568, the worker in front is using a bow saw, the one in the background is planing.Īmong early finds of wooden tools are the worked sticks from Kalambo Falls, Clacton-on-Sea and Lehringen. Be careful not to catch the cording in your seam as you sew the hem of the brim. Make sure you attach the cording first, then sew the edge of the brim down after you position the cording in place, and through the button holes. Put the button holes fairly close to the centre at the back. Just through one layer of fabric On the part that gets folded under. I like to sew two button holes at the back. It is surprising how very small details can make a big difference and affect the comfort of the hat. If you attach too close together it seems impossible to cinch it up enough to feel right. If attached at a point that is touching the ears it feels uncomfortable. You want to make the attachment points of the cording just behind her ears. Measure the back of her head between her ears. Perhaps elastic would even work with a toggle. I think that cording similar to what you would find on a hoodie jacket would feel better. Yes, I have made some with toggles before. ![]() (These small openings have finished edges) The gathered section would be too bulky if flipped up like the rest.Īlthough there are two small openings at the back which keep the middle section from flipping up when you create the brim they do not show.

I would say this hat is fairly easy to make if you have some sewing experience.

I took a tape measure and put it around my head just above my eyebrows, over the tops of my ears and around the back of my head. I have a very medium size head and this feels just right for me. If you have medium or medium/long hair you can still fit a ponytail in the back of this hat. It has elastic in the back which makes it quick and easy to put on.
