Weekend Hats

 

 

 

Just in time for the weekend I've made a couple of cotton/ linen pull on hats. Both have a lovely mother of pearl trim one is a vintage buckle the other an oval button from Liberty's in London. My favourite shop I think, well one of them and it still has a great haberdashery.
The fabric is textured and although it is fine it makes up into a great hat.(with a little persuasion)

Don't forget your Hat

Right now I have a long list of orders for weddings as you would expect, but it's nice when someone just pops in the shop for an everyday hat,without need for an occasion.
Why not have a fab rain hat,sun hat,dog walking hat etc.
All you need is a great shape that suits you, pick a fabric you love and before you know it you'll be sporting your new creation.
A few compliments never go amiss do they.
What hat would suit your day.?

Cool cotton holiday hats

Summer holidays are now just around the corner, so the ever popular pull on cotton hat is now back in the shop priced £40.
These and others have been in the window over the weekend and proved very popular.
All hand knitted or crocheted [by my sister] in 100% raw cotton with different beaded trims.
Cotton comes in many colours, so some hats have been made in bright sunny shades.
This little collection above somehow reminds me of the beach.
So if you are heading off on holiday soon don't forget your hat.!

Pinstripe Hat

This simple yet striking hat really reminds of Mary Quant's designs of the 60's.
You could just about wear it to anything or nothing as it lends itself to the wearers whim.
City smart or boho chic the choice is yours.
The large flower trim is detachable and can be pinned on to your coat/bag etc when you don't need your hat.
I wonder if Mary would approve.?
