I made a hat
My first attempt at making a hat. It might not hold up to close scrutiny, but I like it anyway. Going to attempt to make another one this weekend in a different material. |

Good heavens above, what a talented lady you are, I feel some commissions coming your way.

Kitty, you are clever. My friend recently sent me a pattern to make a little tiny Fascinator top hat... I'm desperate to have a go, but being terribly untechnical, just can't make head nor tail of the darned pattern.
If I have any success, I shall post it on here at some point. |

I'm going to be rather cheeky but you could always post the instructions on here and we could have a whole top hat design thread, and show off our wares, maybe have a competition where the winner gets a makeover.

Haha, not till I've got a bit better at it methinks 
I like the idea of a competition Ruby, would be fun, especially if we had themes for it. |

Kitty that is great! I want a little tiny pill box for the top of my head - where did you get the pattern? And can you alter it for little peanut heads? 
|

It wasn't a pattern. If I get time I'll write out how I did it with pictures for you. | ||

Ruby, I have absolutely no problem sending you the instructions. I shall dig them out and scan them, then send them over to you via email.
hopefully, you'll crack it and then we can all have a go. Thing is with me, I can do it if I'm shown, but when it comes deciphering instructions, I get all fizzy and fluffy and my brain stops working

Ohhhh Sadie... you are a star !
I also bought that ebook thingy about pasties... so it'll be interesting to see if it's similar to how you do it Sadie. Thing is, unless I make myself sit down and do it, I never get round to these things - there's always sooo much to do. |

I've made mine two ways before. You can either use leather or fimo as a base. I like the leather bases more because they are a bit more comfy and less heavy. Its then a case of covering them and all that jazz! Not complicated at all but I will happily draw up a tutorial because it *is* fiddly!
