Secure

We've been talking a lot about pompoms recently, and one question keeps coming up: what's the best way of attaching one securely to a hat? Well, we had an intriguing suggestion tweeted at us recently, so we resolved to try it out. It's very simple, and that picture shows it in practice. Instead of just sewing the pompom to the hat fabric, sew it to a button on the wrong side of the hat. The button, nestling into the top of the hat, distributes the pulling of the pompom and makes it much less likely to come loose. You'll find our tutorial on sewing on buttons at this link. So yes, it works!
