Two new hats!


Angelique is modeling my newest Jackie O hat. It is made from a previously loved wool/angora sweater that I felted. It measures 22/23 inches. With this hat I sewed a silky interfacing so the hat keeps it's shape & does not itch. The rosettes are made from vintage silk in chocolate, sage & champagne. For added sparkle I sewed beading in the rosettes.

With this hat I sewed a silky interfacing so the hat keeps it's shape & does not itch. The rosettes are made from vintage silk in dusty pink & ivory. For added sparkle I sewed vintage earrings in the rosettes.

This hat would make a great accessory to your Christmas party!

To clean & store the hat wipe down with a clean cotton cloth that has been rung out from a solution of vinegar & water. My Grandmother always used this method to clean & store her woolens.
