hello i am new here and so glad i found this site.
i have a few questions
first i would like any recommendations on a good book on hat making. as my name implies i sew in quarter scale and really would love to make some hats for my dolls. the book of course needs to show instructions along with pictures.

also i am looking into patternmaking software. while the demos are helpful i am not sure about buying one. is there any place that sells used software so i can try them out without the big pricetags?

also would really like to find a pattern for a cowboy hat.

thanks for any help
