Fabric Scraps to Unique Hat
 

At St Raphael's Fete last Sunday I found a remnant of gorgeous silver netting that put me in mind of the gorgeous hats of the forties.

I had some pieces of black felt in my stash - not big enough to make much but too good to bin. So I went searching the 'net and found a great tutorial on Youtube for making a felt pillbox hat. The link is below.

Soon I had the basic hat done, so out came my box of broken costume jewellery which yeilded a diamante buckle, and I found a piece of co-ordinating silver/black fabric salvaged from a child's damaged dress.

I threaded the fabric through the buckle to make a bow, cinched the netting and stitched it all in place.

I still have some of all the materials left so I am off to make another one! (update: second one made - see lower down thread)

Wow you really amaze me with what you can make, your brillant and the hat is beautiful.

Fantastic Unapam as always. I've been keeping an eye out for that birdcage veiling. The hat is gorgeous.
