1900s Maude's Big Summer Hat


Made from a Michael's straw hat base, and embellished with net tulle and flowers from IKEA.

  1. Ohgosh ohgosh ohgosh, why, dearest Miss Morris, this is the most delightful hat I've seen this season! Such delicate net and the blossoms, oh my - I love how you arranged them and the colour combination, so sweet! I can't, really can't wait to meet you live!:-) Fingers crossed the weather will be good...

    1. Thank you, dear Rosa, for the lovely comment! I could have stepped it up a notch further by making my own hat base from buckram and covering it with white or striped material, but the buckram I found at the local store was out of my price range (and also, I had this hat base lying around waiting to be used). :)
      I really can't wait to meet you either, I think about it a lot of the time, and I'm so excited! Either way, I'm sure the weather will be better where you are, than it will be at home!
