Just a note to remind myself that I need to get busy posting! I have been working on making hats for fun and to list in my etsy shop..
A couple of full coverage hats that work perfectly for "chemo caps"... The blue twill hat is reversible and extra long sot that even rolled up you can have "full coverage". It reverses to black micro fleece; very warm! The organza pin gives it a bit of panache. :D
The Raspberry Mohair and Wool Felted hat was knitted on size 17 circular knitting needles to be extra large so that after felting it is still a full coverage hat. Incredibly warm! I felted it by hand rather than in the washing machine because I am a control freak. I shaped it to dry with a fold in the front above the brim. I was inspired by the Darrow Cloche.
The newsboy hat was a custom order made in black velveteen and lined with a fun red printed flannel for warmth. I also made one to list in my etsy shop that is lined with green and black checked flannel.
I found the head to use as a model in the local antique shop... she isn't antique, but maybe vintage. I am thinking that someone must have used it it a beauty school to test hair cutting; as you see, she has none! Prickly little 5 o'clock shadow on the head!
I found a wig to put on her so she is now happy.
