I tried to take pictures that didn't include my face, but that's difficult with a hat.
This is the Garbo Hat, a tutorial by annekata. Look, we used the same fabric! [I think] This tutorial was super easy - I used a 12" frying pan to trace my circle. I love hats, but I really don't like most trendy ones, so this one was perfect. I can't pull it off like Garbo herself, but I still like it!
It's lined with one of my favorite linens, but truthfully I'm not crazy about it as the lining. I did sort of a blind stitch at the upper brim seam to keep the lining in place because it kept peeking out.
So, I have to say at this point my lack of ironing has become a personal trademark. Sometimes I'm lazy or sometimes I iron but then sit down - but a wrinkled hat? That's just impressive.
What a great hat! I have yet to try and sew one, but I hope my first one turns out as well as yours! I'll check that tutorial out.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's surprisingly easy, I bet it will look great. Good luck!
