You will cut out a band of 11 inches although it depends on the measurement of a person's head.
This will serve as a pattern to guide you through,after you are done cutting it out place the pattern on your fabric and cut it out.
Am using two different fabrics so that means i could wear any part that i like.

Step 2:in order for the brim to be firm you have to gum one part of the ankara( it is called interfacing ) with hard paper gum,it will give firm to the fabric, use the other side as as sort of linning or main fabric since it is going to be a two face sunhat.
Step 3:you turn the interfacing of the brim with the other ankara by sowing it on the on the sowing machine and then turn it over, iron it to make it flat
