      I used Sassy Bears 18mm Flat Comic Safety Eyes. The posts were a bit long so I added a bit of batting inside the turkey to keep them from pushing through into the hat.

    Do the feathers flop over or stand straight up when hat is worn? Would stuffing fix this?

      Mine flopped, I think they would stand up if stuffed.

    I made this hat and found that the feathers on top do stand up rather well once the hat is worn. i didnt stuff the feathers as they looked great without stuffing. Thank you Sarah for such a sweet pattern. Love your patterns and recommend them to many!

    Great pattern. Made two of these, one for my daughter and one for her friend. The only tricky part for me was the beak.
