I'm not a big fan of skull patterns, but it definately works! The hat is awesome! I have a pattern(I wonder if a child's size large is big enough, haha), but the bill part is complicated. Was it hard for you to do the bill? Did you use anything in between the fabric to make it stiff or is the fabric thick enough to not have to use something(like interfacing or thin plastic)? Heh, I can't get over how great the fabrics look together.
