This is a great tutorial -- clear, easy to follow. I used it to make a tam out of blue stretch velvet for my early 1800's costume. It looks great! Since the velvet is pretty floppy (made the hat look a bit like a droopy pancake on my head), I stuffed it with some light quilt batting to make it puff up a little. I'd post a photo but I don't think I'm allowed to.
The band isn't extremely tight, so you may be able to get away with cutting it on the bias of the fabric. Otherwise, I'm not sure what I would use - maybe a rib knit of some sort?

Great tutorial! Very clear to follow! What would you recommend for the band if your fabric doesn’t have stretch?

how long is the piece of string when tracing for the smaller circle?
I don't remember the exact measurement, but the small circle was the same as my head circumference.
