Tutorial: Trucker’s hat made pretty with a floral panel

Kate from See Kate Sew makes the lowly trucker’s hat a fashion accessory by covering the front panel with a pretty floral design. Genius! She shares a tutorial showing how to do it. You’ll only need a small piece of fabric, just big enough to cover that front panel. She includes a template for cutting the piece that covers the panel. Go to See Kate Sew for the tute.
