hmmmm....

Sunday night I was watching "Once Upon A Time" (the show that made me figure out how to make the DVR "playback" option work)...


and I gasped - out loud - when I saw Snow White's (aka: Mary Margaret) hat. Oh! I have to have that hat!!!

Sew off to the laboratory I go. The first one I made out of gray felt... that didn't work so well (imagine a top hat...). The second attempt (you know... where a girl feels like she knows what she's doing...) I killed a perfectly cute sweater by sewing two pieces upside down. Have you tried removing a seam from a sweater? *eye roll and a few choice words*


Third attempt:


It's just not right.

comin' to you LIVE from the laboratory where I could potentially become the had matter before perfection is achieved...

  3. It's reallly close!!!!! I'm loving it! I think Snow's hat is just a little thinner, right. But I still LOVE the one you made Mad Hatter!!! :)))

  4. I think your 3rd attempt is fabulous! Although, I think your model has a bit less personality than you do so could you show us the hat on your pretty head? :)
    Have fun... becareful of the Madhatter Syndrome!

  5. This is so cool! I find so many neat ideas on your blog. I'm still obsessing over those fold down cowboy boots. I haven't found a pair that I like yet at the Goodwill store but when I do I am making myself a pair of those. Now I have to add this great hat to my list of projects!!!
