Sew it up and turn it right side out. It should then look like this.
From this point on, things get a little sketchy. Making the actual hat part was no problem for me. The brim was another matter entirely. I stopped taking pictures at this point because of frustration. I made three different brims on this hat but never felt like they fit just right. Here is how I finally figured it out. (In words, no pictures sorry)
I put the hat on and decided where I would want the brim to begin and end. Then I traced an arc onto the skirt fabric using the hat as a guide for where it should go. I cut out two arcs and then sewed them right sides together only around the arc part. After that, flip it right sides out and top stitch the brim in two strips. (See picture below:
Then to attatch the brim to the hat, put the right side of the brim against the wrong side of the hat and top stitch.
The waistband had two buttons and button holes which I thought would add a lot of character to the hat so when I cut out the hat I cut it so that the button holes were part of the hat and then sewed the buttons on top of the button holes. I also used a little lace from the bottom of the skirt to finish it off.

I really like the way it looks, and the good news is.....It fits Charli's head! YAY! Here she is wearing it.
