Giving it some head time because it can't seem to settle on what it wants to be.
Struggling with this one ... we'll see what happens

Good looking hat! I like the ribbon width and brim to crown proportions!

Thanks so much for the kind words about Blue Monkey number one yesterday! Lock & Co today:

And here's some shots of the rudimentary blocking and sewing setup for the DIY projects =)

These hatter tools look like a good start. Love the Lock & Co.

Hey all!
It will be a long 40 days without mmbarnes' great hats and unique obsevations on life.
Headed over to the parent's house to walk Pearl the dog while they are out of town. Bright sunny day, perfect for straw.
Because sun...Dobbs Sunbrero. Late 50's to early 60's.

And 'cause I mentioned a dog, here she is.

She has a chewing on herself problem, hence the inflatable anti-chew donut. Looks silly, but not as silly as the cone.
Have a great day!

Pearl looks very fashionable, it beats the usual plastic cone. Great straw, love the hommie looks.

Two days out of the loop and I find 335 new posts?!! You guys keep busy!
Here I am with a Marida hat that my parents bought for me in Harrods some 30 years ago. Nice peachbloom fur felt, but the brim turn was trimmed too close to the stitches and it has come loose in a couple of spots (fixing it is in my to-do list) Still a classic cloche with a beautiful bow.

Classy looking Christina! Love the bow, it really sets off the look.

A great one Steve! I really like the bow and mid ribbon. That brim stitching looks interesting too.

 

[moehawk]

Thanks! Very true about the binding issues... Right now, I find the sweet spot is a 2.75" brim. I can make it work with a 2.5" brim, but I can't go much tinier than that without having to really hold the hat in an awkward position. Love your sunbrero and I hope the pup stops chewing herself!

Thanks bAm!
I found a nice old Pfaff with about 1 inch or less of overhang on the case, but I have yet to get off my lazy butt and find someone to service it and fix one small issue...it won't sew a straight stitch. Even with the selector knob in the straight stitch position it sews just enough of a zigzag to be noticable. Hoping a cleaning and general servicing will take care of that.
The dog unfortunately develped the chewing problem in the rescue shelter before Mom found her. They've tried a bunch of stuff, but I think it's a psych issue. We all love her, scabs, chewed spots and all.

Thanks Red!
This one is unusual for sure! Brim curl is a nice feature. It would be lighter than ny Parabuntal if not for the thick leather sweatband.

Beautiful, rich brown felt on that one. Very nice!

Giving up the lounge for Lent? How long does that last?
