Newsboy Cap From Thrift Store Trousers

Giftmas present for my roomie's 2.5 year old. He's getting a lot of dress up clothes for giftmas, so now he can dressup as a little old man I guess.

I used an old pair of pants for the hat and an old black tee shirt for the inside lining.

Notes/Pattern: I used Burda pattern 9587 View C. The only thing I did different was insert a four inch strip of elestic extend and sew over so it has a stretchy back. I used a card board box piece for the brim and it was flimsy enough I sewed through it to attach the folded over portion of the hat. And my lining is an old tee shirt a friend left at my place forever ago.

The pattern said this was easy, but I considered it a little difficult, maybe its just me.
