Did not work, tossed the hat destroyed a hanger to use that as structural support instead, it kind of works -went to the fabric store again -took a jacket to trace some janky designs, cut, and sew job -cut the sleeves. they were wrong. cut them again. adjusted them. -cut the front and finished it -attached the sleeves (incorrectly 3x, but I got it in the end) -cut, finished, and connected 4 ribbons to the back other: -collected acorns (multiple walks, but very fun) -bought wooden chimes DONE
