So I had to make a hat for the “pink dress girls” costume and I decided to try to redesign old straw hats to save time and money!
I only made one hat because it did take much longer time that I had planned to do. It did not save much time for me and it was a bit too hard to actually redesign it.
The fabric does not look great on the hat, but it will work okay as a part of the costume for one of the roles.
I had planned to make three pink hats for the “pink dress girls” costumes but the hat will be used of the “boss girl” and the “dress girls” will use some simple hair bows instead.
You never cease to amaze me with your sewing skills! The hat looks beautiful. ❤

Yet another Klaugen creation that makes me wish I had practised sewing when my mother and grandmother tried so hard to get me to sit still. You are an extraordinary talent my dear!

That kind of fabric is unforgiving at the best of times. Putting it in a non-smooth hat structure, doubly so. Kuddos for tackling that challenge

Thanks! At least I tried 😉

Absolutely. I think the fact that the structure is textured may have helped a little.
I once foolishly made a hat with stripped fabric and neglected to cut it on the bias. Had to redo. Even the stripes looked better on the bias thankfully.

yeah.. the straw hat was to soft, but I have learned to use more stiffer hat or fabrics.
