Goldilocks and the Three Hats
The first fedora I made was too small; the second was too large. The third is just right! This hat fits a Small or Medium head and features a vintage glass cameo pin. I am in love.

Fashion Show hats #5 and 6
Two more hats! And with only two more days until the show, it's a good thing, too.
The Garden Cloche: pink wool cloche with mohair flowers accented with pearly buttons, cashmere/angora leaves, and vintage bird pins. I absolutely love this one - probably my favorite cloche so far.
Feather Cap: black wool hat with upturned rear brim, a luxuriously long ostrich plume, and a vintage circle pin.
The bridal headpiece is finished, and it's going without the veil because I just don't have time to deal with that tiny clear thread I was using. Eventually I will complete a successful crochet veil, but not before Saturday.
Back to work! I'm going to try a bucket hat our of mohair/acrylic yarn and see if it's substantial enough to hold shape. Hand felting tutorial IS coming soon, I'm just trying to organize my thoughts.

WiP: Fashion Show Hat #4
I've been working all weekend on a bridal-style headpiece for the fashion show, which is now less than a week away. I can't believe it's almost here... Anyway, this piece is a little different from my usual in that it's a headband base instead of a full hat. I covered the band with lacy mohair crochet; a mohair rosette accented with a vintage pin and feather will sit on the side/top. Right now I am working on the veil, which will be quite short, reaching just below the eyes.
I have a few other cloches I will be taking with me to the show, including the one you will see in the next post: a tutorial of how I felt my hats!

Fashion Show hat #1
Finally finished my first hat for the fashion show in May - the rest are still in the works. I took it to Alabaster's today so they can use it to help promote the show. This is a black Merino wool felted bucket hat with a cream mohair rosette, vintage black and white cameo pin, and vintage black feather.
