A new little hat to make me happy.
When I found this doll hat blank on clearance for $0.75 I snatched it up to try making a vintage style tilt hat out of it.
I used a pressing cloth and a steam iron to shape it the way I wanted, mostly fixing the brim.
I doubled some black tulle for a base hat band and added a mesh ribbon to
that. Then I hand sewed the black flower out of some fabric remnants
and more mesh, embellishing it with a few pearl beads. Added some feathers and some hair pins in the inside and viola, all done.
I recently got this dress thrifting and I love it’s little details; I’m planning on wearing it to a show. Apparently I now need to create a hat to go with every dress, but they’re so addictive!
You have fabulous style!
