1950's Style Hat

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Category: Other

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Cute, Romantic, Retro / Vintage


Materials

I used a straw hat, some jute ribbons, buttons, feathers, millinery wire, bias tape and a headband to hold the hat on head.

What was your inspiration?

I'm in love with hats and vintage fashion, especially 50s fashion, so I decided to join both. The inspiration came while I was appearing as the little hat.

What are you most proud of?

The final aspect, I think I managed to build a beautiful hat from recycled materials that already existed in my sewing room, I did not have to buy anything. Zero cost.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

It is an easy project and very grateful if you are in love with this style, you can use the same base and decorate the hat with materials you have around, the possibilities are endless.

Keep working with your hats...millinary is a dying art that deserves to continue. We all don't need to look like a baseball team. I wish the TV show Madman would show more hats. I think I will write to them and plant a seed.
