Instructions

  1. Small 108080 2f2015 03 21 075904 img 20150312 114518

    Gather your supplies. If you thrift your hat, like I did, it might have some areas where the stitching around the brim has come loose; use cotton thread to make any necessary repairs. Remove any ribbon or trims.

  2. Small 108080 2f2015 03 21 075924 img 20150321 155309

    Thread your needle with one strand of metallic thread (there are usually six strands in one length of embroidery floss) and knot the end.

  3. Small 108080 2f2015 03 21 075931 img 20150321 155035

    Stitch stars by making a cross and then adding an additional diagonal line through the centre of the cross.

  4. Small 108080 2f2015 03 21 075942 img 20150321 155414

    Use a large running stitch to connect stars to make a constellation and add some extra stars around the constellations to fill in any empty spaces.
