Hand sew the lid brim linings, right sides together, to the hexagon lid, sew all the long sides first, then return and sew the short sides of the brims, to form the lid shape.

The outside of the lid is then covered with a layer of batting, then an outer fabric. Glue this in place, and hold with pegs and allow to dry overnight.

The brim is covered on the outside with the 28in x 2in strip you set aside earlier. Fold in turnings and iron. This should then measure approx. 29in x 1in, but compare with your lid, especially if you have used a thicker batting. Once ironed, you can stitch it in place on the edge of the brim and then to the lid fabric. Begin with the end just overlapping one corner, so that when you have stitched all around the lid, the seam will fall on one of the corners of the brim, for a neat finish. You can hold this fabric strip in place with some dabs of glue to help you stitch it in place, or if you prefer, hold with pins or pegs, but these can be annoying when you use your needle and thread.
