I drafted a new hat pattern with two different brims, and the best part is I saved a picture as a PDF so you should be able to print it out.
For this one I widened the flatter brim to 1 1/2". Make the brims any width you want. Flip them up or flip them down. The cream hat is made with polyester material and it works fine. The turquoise hat I made with silk and I did have some glue seep through the top of the hat in places so I have to be less generous with the glue and spread it thinner when using thinner fabric.
So, of course, I had to make some outfits to go with the hats. This is a 40's inspired dress made with a fat quarter that I had picked up at Joann. It's hard to see the metallic threads running through it. The bag and belt are faux leather.
The sundress is from a piece of beaded floral silk that I found on sale at Mood Fabrics. The belt is lambskin.
This is a picture of the pattern but there is no easy way to upload PDFs to Blogger. So I have uploaded the pattern to Google Docs and, hopefully, this link will take you there. If not, let me know, and I'll go back to square one. My suggestion is to make the inner crown piece first and make sure the top fits just inside of it. You may need to trim just a smidge off the circle of the top depending on your fabric. Instructions for constructing the hats are in an earlier post.
