Mad Hatting...

"Curiouser and curiouser"...Alice in Wonderland

"Whatcha' Working On Wednesday? Show and Tell"...I've told a few people that I was madly sewing hats (five, in all) over the past couple days (my daughter has referred to it as "hatting"), though they were a little hard to describe.  I have entered into a "venture" with my friend, Carole (The Ribbon Lady) - these will now go into the embellishment phase, over at her place - destined for adornment with fabulous ribbonwork flowers, vintage buckles, fanciful bows, etc., etc., etc.  I just wanted to be able to show what I've been working on, now that they are done on my end.  They remind me of "Jiffy Pop" - taken from a 1920's fabric cloche hat that Carole had hanging around, they are absolutely darling on...these are all silk, inside and out, and the brims will be able to be worn turned up or down.

Oh hatting, yes, I know it well, hahaha.
Those are very cool looking, yes, even a little jiffy poppish..but I would like to see them after the embellishment phase. Great work T!

Those are my kind of hats and I will buy some if the price is not outrageous! I love hats and used to wear them all of the time when I was in the hotel business and traveled all over the USA but I still wear my flapper hats now when it is windy!

They look great, Tanya!
