Adventures in hat making: part 11, Edwardian hat finished!

Black wool felt, large brimmed edwardian hat. Decoration: double bow and inside lining are made of bordeaux colored silk. Brim edging is a black satin ribbon. Black marabou feathers, one large black osterich feather and a black feather rose. The brim has a curve but that doesn't show when hat when the hat is lying down.

The pattern I used is the Universal Round brimmed, Straight Sided Crown Hat Pattern from Lynn McMasters

My cat impersonating a hat. Or reminding me that she is much more beautiful and cuter than a hat.


You will have to wait at least until the weekend before I can post a picture of me wearing it with my costume. Sorry!
