There was a time when men, women and children all wore hats when they went out.
I'm glad that that's no longer the case since I look dorky in every hat I ever try on!
I also have a very large head so it is hard to find hats that fit me.
Luckily Heddie is always happy to model hats for me since her lack of a torso and limbs makes her a rather poor model of other clothing.
The hat is sewn from handwoven fabric left over after making the white tunic and using the "Brimmed Hat with Side Pleating" pattern by Etsy seller kalliedesigns.
It is fully lined, and beautifully embellished.
Hopefully both the hat and the tunic will be accepted for display in the Chilliwack Spinners and Weavers Guild's textile art show, "Fibre Flair!" which will be opening at the Chilliwack Community Arts Council's Art Room Gallery in September.
