Hat canvas is different than interfacing. It looks more like heavily
stiffened gauze. (I have no clue what Timtex is but I do have a small roll
of canvas for hats. Unfortunately, I have no packaging to identify it by
brand.)
Some of my vintage hats are wired too but most of them hold their shape

In the '80s people called pants that ended just below the knee knickers.
Before that, they were peddle pushers. And I think there's at least one
other name for them. Knee highs, maybe? It seems every time they come
back into fashion, they are called something else.
Maybe the term breeches is
the knee? But a

Normally, I can look at a pattern and have a clear idea of how flat pieces
fit together and follow a shape, what is cut on the fold, how many to cut,
