Has anyone else had their post whisked off for moderation for days? I spent time loading it up and am still waiting. I've also tried to load a post to my vendor page with the same result... What gives??

After some trial and error I managed to sew this cap. Used and old pair of herringbone pants and a chambray shirt for the lining. No machine was used just needle and thread.
I started of with a pattern for a one piece 8 dart hat, that didn,t came out rough. I couldn,t get a one piece pattern out of the herringbone fabrick so decided on a 8 piece hat. It was fun to do.
I wrapped some fabric around a nickel for the button on top

I've tried posting several times in the last week and they all disappeared 'for moderation', but hopefully it's fixed now.

Here is my first all-straw cap: The Argonne Summer Straw! Featuring super-cool Thai handwoven hemp straw.
