I should be working but I’m procrastinating. Today my procrastination is taking the form of looking up a quick sewing project to try out. I found this blog post: Greta Garbo and how to make a hat and thought yeah, I can do that. Plus I have some tweed fabric that I love and has been sitting around for minute.
No it’s not private. Weird. When I click on it, it takes me there. Hmmm… its annekata.blogspot.com she has a tutorial link and the hat is listed. Click the little carrot in the corner. The hat was super easy. It’ll be even easier the second time around since I have a better idea of what size to make the band to get the fit I’d like.
I bought a crap ton of it for a skirt I made last year (which I should post because I don’t believe I have yet). I’m really bad at guessing how much fabric I need for a project. In this case I think the width was way longer than standard. Oops. But I do love it so I’m okay without that.
I googled to find it too, thanks for sharing! I think I have an old skirt I meant to repurpose. I have just the vintage silk hankie to use too, I’ve been saving it to line a hat.
It was the perfect afternoon project. So easy and quick. I do wonder what the heck is wrong with my hyperlink. Maybe I’ll try to redo it on the laptop with a bigger screen.
It is a pretty hat, almost the kind of design I love! And it makes me think that I can make one myself (especially as all hats I see are too big, only time I find hats that fit is if I go for kids hats)
Does it work now? It’s weird because it totally works for me but clearly doesn’t work for others. I’ve deleted and re-hyperlinked it so I’m hoping it works now.
