garbo hat


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.
