My sis loves skulls and I found a fantastic wool felt hat body from Leko printed with skulls! Absolutely perfect! I blocked it on my cloche block and added a grosgrain sham bow for a bit of executive lady style! She probably won't wear it, but I certainly had lots of fun making it and can't wait to see her reaction when she opens it!
For beloved nephew, a sophisticated lad soon to graduate college, I made a fedora. Now there was a challenge! The third time was most definitely a charm with this hat. The first two attempts had to be consigned to the scrap drawer (to be used in some way at a later date), but I learned from my mistakes. The final attempt was a success, though several times through the process I thought that I might have another candidate for the scrap drawer! Yesterday, I put the outside grosgrain ribbon around the completed hat and added a bit of wild turkey (not the beverage) feather to the band. Cool! It looks better than any I've seen in the stores!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all from Inspired Millinery.
