What Hat Are You Working On Today?

Well it is all one hat now and not separate pieces. Got the sweat sewn in WITHOUT pricking my fingers once!. Still have some shaping and brim work to do, BUT ITS A HAT

I have a question about dying a brown hat to maroon. It's a fur-felt hat, cotton sweat rather than leather so in theory I should not have to worry too much about shrinkage. I have removed the liner as well as It was really bad in the summer and stuck to my head all the time.

Can anyone tell me: 1) which dyes I should try, and tips on methods? 2) how easy it will be? 3) is it worth it? should I bother, or should I just buy a maroon hat at some point in the future?
