Thank you for such a generous reply. I'll check your etsy and check around for old hats, such a great idea.

I use satin quite often. Mostly in felts and winter hats. I embroider my label in the center on the crown piece and then put the lining together. I learned how to make linings by taking apart old throw away hats. I do have some pics posted on this thread.

1. I cut an oval or circle for the center of the crown out of my lining fabric.

2. Measure the circumference of the inside of the crown add about 3 inches to the length. And I measure the depth adding about 1".

3. I cut a length of my lining fabric on the bias to the length I measured but cutting on an angle \ so the top edge is the length I measured and the bottom edge is a couple of inches longer

4. Fold back about 1/2" of the non angled end so you will have a finished end.

5. Right side of crown piece to right side of cut length (longest end at the bottom) and start sewing to the crown about 1/4" in from the edge. After about 1" I take a 1/8" pleat and continue to do this all the way around the crown.

5. Insert in the crown and adjust the depth. Fold over the edge and sew to the hat.

If you have questions just send me a message and I will try to help. or you can go to my shop on ETSY for more pics of my linings. NouveauHatsbySharon

I've been making felt hats from raw wool fleece or batt and I really want a finished look as well. I've searched the net and books and can not find information on lining a hat, it's like a trade secret or something. So I'm trying to learn by trial and error, which gets pricey and can ruin a hat. Even trying to find photos of lined hats is near impossible.

So I'd be very interest too if anyone know a way to learn how, a site, a book, anything. I also noticed no one listed satin as a liner, is there a reason for that?

Thanks for sharing

I make simple labels (using lettering from such libraries like www.emblibrary.com) with a hoop (I've been using a Janome Memory craft 10000/10001 but now I have switched to Brother PE800). It takes some time, but since I don't take commissions so often recently, it doesn't really bother me.
I have Digitizer 10000 software and my machine uses the cards, so I have an adapter at my computer where I can transfer a design that I save with the software to the card, then take the card to the embroidery machine. That took quite a while to figure out. But now I have a personal label design which I love to use.
It's a lot of fun and they look so much nicer than writing with pen on fabric (which I've tried before, shame on me).
