Black hat was finished and away on time (just) just working on a little rain hat with a spotty lining and today the sun IS shinning but I must make a few more rain hats for the shop and one for me as I seem to be the only one in the house who Never has a hat to put on .!!!
Taken a couple of pics's in the shop to show what I sell.
Must go and finish my rain hat and get some lunch......starving.!!!

My first blog

Welcome to the day to day activities of The Little Hat Shop Blog.
Sandwiched somewhere between Manchester and Leeds in the lovely Calder valley in the Market town of Hebden Bridge.

As anyone who has ever hand made anything for a living they will know there is never a dull moment.Certainly not in my workshop my silk box would send any rainy day packing.!
Add a generous mix of the general public and life really gets interesting.

Hats thrill most few even dog walkers need a great showerproof, which reminds me I need to be making quite a few of those ready for autumn showers.

Weddings are many at the moment so I have been burning the midnight oil the last few days.
It's said to be a very creative time of day after 10pm but I think it's because you get no interruptions and so get lots done, apart from the little people in your life deciding that they NEED you as soon as you pick up a needle.!

With that in mind I will get some sleep before tomorrow comes around all to quickly.
