The completed hat frame, from the bottom. Most of the brim and the crown were reinforced with some Pellon. |
Starting to cover the hat with some gray satin. |
Close up of some of the stitching |
The crown is covered! |
The underneath of the brim, covered with a pleated piece of plaid taffeta. |
The back of the brim (the un-reinforced section) will be turned up when I'm done. |
The covered hat! |
The covered hat with the brim flipped up |
Layers of trim were added to the top brim -- silver lace, black lace, black ribbon, red ribbon and some braid... |
The same braid that was added the underneath of the brim to cover the edges of the satin |
Please excuse the sideways photo, but here's the completed hat with lace, ribbon tails, a few fabric flowers and some feathers. |
And a close up of the finished hat. The big flower has a button and a gear holding it in place |
