After three more attempts at creating "THE hat" this is what I've ended up with.
Yes, the end result is reminiscent of the first go-round. And I like it! I made this one out of a beautiful piece of ivory wool suiting. I'll be as snug as a bug in a hat.
I'm gonna now ignore the "thisisSEWnotright" towering hat pile that has built up on one table in my laboratory - all different shapes, styles and colors - and make another one of these in black...
just so that I have one to wear with each coat that I have. Have I ever mentioned that I'm a coat fiend? It's true.
This one from The Vintage Square is on my radar. I don't have a black one and I have a "thing" for big shiny buttons on vintage coats. Well... really... I have a thing for big shiny buttons period.
On another note: here's my kid. I found this picture while digging through my camera card and my heart went all mussssshhhhhhy like a Mama's heart does when she sees her towering man-child.
comin' to you LIVE from a single-wide... yeah, I've sprung myself from the laboratory and I'm back in the single-wide surfing around to see if I can find "THE hat" on line so I can own it. Have you seen it anywhere?

I too have a table of half-done projects that I "will get to later"...........sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I LOVE that coat you are eying!! I don't think I would be able to pass it up..............

Lol, cute kid! My heart also goes mushy over my man child too. Oh and cute hat too :)
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of vintage coats...?
ReplyDeleteDid you try the spot remover? Did it work for ya?
I'm just curious. A couple of people let comments or emails saying they want to try it. I've used it again and it worked. So I decided to *wart* you and find out!...
oh, love the hat btw.
and...I don't blame you letting your model go, she looks like she has eyes for something else anyway! LOL...

I love it--wish I could sew a hat--really cool (or warm)!
ReplyDeleteI love the hat!! Now rock it out at the grocery store!! You know, while you're buying the food that disappears as fast as the man-child.....
ReplyDeleteLove the hat - so cute!
ReplyDeletexo,

I love your creation! Now make one to go with that coat...just like the models...the look the same. Cool! You are so creative...verbally and hatways...lol
ReplyDeleteI love the hat, but then again, I liked it the first time around. The resident teen man-child is a cutie! I bet he hates that you put his pic on your blog!

He is stinkin' cute!! Your hat is awesome! Do you wear vintage coats? I couldn't pull it off but think they are so lovely. Plus most of them are too small in the shoulders for me. I haven't heard of Once Upon a Time. I may have to check it out.
