To finish...green and black cloche

Alright!  So today is the first day of my life with a metal plate in my body.  Just got the bandages off, stitches out, and can now start to TRY and move my wrist - slowly, slowly....

This also means that I can now continue finishing my hats - and hopefully soon I can make more (although the making will probably take a bit as you need a lot of wrist strength to yank on the felt! ;)

What I'm going to work on today is the green cloche with black trim.  This hat I love, however the block was a bit small for me so I think this will be the first one I sell - or at least try to sell. I know that I could stretch the hat to fit me, but I have so many already - I think I can relinquish this one :)


If I finish this one, I will start work on my black cloche.  As you can see, it's totally plain now, just molded and cut, with ribbon on the inside perimeter.  I have some applique that I need to place, and then stitch on - but like I said yesterday, it's gonna take me a while to decide placement and materials.
Should be fun!

  1. I had no idea you had this fabulous hat making thing happening! We need to talk more :)
    I love the shape of that black hat, and well, everything about that green one!
    Take care of that wrist!! Joint injuries tend to hang around a loooooong time, if you don't be incredibly cautious. xo
