I do them quite a bit. no real tips unless you're a bit useful with a sewing machine and some hand stitching.

errr well sew the sides with a machine, as much as you can so you can still fit the visor in the top, then hand stitch the top edge shut. simples.

I dont use a machine to stitch dogs back together but hey, can't be too bad lol!!
Should have planned a bit more before digging in, I'll see how these go, then get more fabric and start again, what would you use for sewing material, nylon based type stuff??

anything really, its not under stress or in a high wear area. Just a polycotton will be fine.
