I inherited some vintage fabric from my grandmother and I never knew quite what to do with it. I wanted to save it for something special, but I wanted to use it so that it wouldn't just get stuck in a box and forgotten. One day in this wonderful
eclectic store I happened upon a hat that I didn't think I could live with out, but it was way out of my price range. ( You know, that "practical price range for a hat" that every lady has to set for herself.) It had this wonderful 1920's look/ feel to it, and would be perfect made out of my grandma's fabric. I decided that I would
attempt to make it, and this is what I came up with. It is very similar to the
original, and it makes me love the fabric even more.
I sort of made it up as I went along and now I wish that I had tried to formulate some sort of pattern. Lesson learned, eh?!
My new 'happy hat'!!
