Spring Colours




I am very busy blocking crowns and brims in lots of lovely spring colours which is a breath of fresh air from all the darker winter tones.
The pink hat will become a straw beret,there's a couple of pill box shapes a large lilac brim which I will cut into an unusual shape.
There is also a pill box shape blocked out of window sinamay, very light to wear.
To construct the hats you work on the brim first then attach the crown.
Simple as that sounds it can take quite a few hours, so I better go and get cracking.

These colors are so beautiful. ...and the blocking is excellent! I don't think mine have ever looked that good.
