Reconstructed Flapper Hat

Hello Rogues! A few days ago, I came across an old houndstooth hat in my closet. I thought to myself, "I never wear this hat", so I tried it on. The houndstooth print was cute, but there was something about the big round brim that was a bit cheezy and unsightly. So what did I do, you ask? I took out my scicssors and cut the damned thing off! Add some lace, and a little bowtie later, I had myself this baby.

You always need that something, which is why when I'm working on a piece I'll freehand it, then I'll look at it and ask myself what it needs to be complete. It can be a meticulous process, but theres nothing more satisfying than finishing a totally unique piece of art, and sharing it with the world. Maybe when I start getting more orders I'll resort to making patterns and such, but I like to think of myself as an experimental crafter. I don't own a sewing machine (yet) so I do everything by hand, and I actually enjoy it! I usually stay away from patterns when I can, and like to figure things out myself. Stubborn... maybe?

There are alot of crafters out there. So you, as my reader, are entitled to know that I do not enjoy making felted bird portraits or anything of the sort. I dont even like felt. There will be no aprons, no oven mitts, no cute deer head embroidery, no butterflies, no rainbows. This is a refuge for self-expression.
