Hand dying straw hoods

Hand dyed two straw hoods last night - turned out well. My fingers are the same lovely shade of Dharma fiber reactive Royal Blue dye ! The hoods will be blocked and made into girly girl hats for girly girls! It's so much run to watch little girls come up to my booth and fall in love with hats! Tonight it's Dharma Black Cherry.

Making hats

Inspired (Mostly Millinery) is busy finishing hats for the Eiteljorg Winter Market on Dec. 5. This time Inspired is making some fabric hats and sewing them. One pattern developed a year or so ago is more fun to make  than another pattern. Don't know why, though.

There will also be the traditionally hand blocked and embellished hats available at the Market. All hats are one of a kind and created by hand. No glue used!!!!

Inspired (aka Mostly Millinery) has a new web site! Check it out! www.mostlymillinery.com.
