well, it's that time of year again! i know, it's still a month and a half until the actual derby but that is the best part. it's time to start creating my hat! yay! last year i made a fascinator hat for the local derby day hat contest. it was fabulous. and i won first prize! i know i should probably let somebody else win but this is the only ounce of competitive in me... and i have to defend my title right?
2008 champion hati have always been interested in felt hats but i don't think i will be able to pull off learning that new skill in a month. i found this hat that i am very attracted to. i love the use of flowers, the asymmetry, the feathers, and the fabrics.
i looks like it is made of fabric, not felt. now i just have to figure out how i can pull this off.... maybe make a cardboard mold under the fabric??? maybe just lots of interfacing and starch??? how do people make hats like this?
how do people make hats this cool???
Probably a wire frame and buckram to make the base.
