Crown fully pieced, with cloth covered.button at peak. Raw edges loosely tucked under. Seams neither pressed nor topstitched.
Eight crown panels and two bill panels assembled into three pieces and pinned for general shape. Sachi's Studio Newsboy Cap pattern in green velvet. Mostly machine stitched.
The pattern calls for topstitching along the seams of the crown panels, which might suggest either matching or contrasting thread.
I think this is the finished version of Simplicity Patterns packet 7984 pattern 10, take 2 with adjustment cord for fit. I added a round medallion to the front with a feminist resistance design before giving it to the recipient. (Late January 2026 photo)
