CLASSES: STRAW-BRAID HATMAKING—MARCH '03
I chose a smaller but similar shape to my straw hat brim: narrower at the front and back and wider on the sides, sloping gently.

Because the brim support might show through the navy braid, it had to be dark, so we blocked it in black buckram.

Using black buckram is like working with an oil slick.
