Rumba Rue Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Well here it is, a hat blank turned into a work of art. I trimmed the edges of the brim because they weren't even. I actually sewed the large trim around the brim, but the rest I had to use Fabric-tac. I'm using 4 good size hat pins to hold the brim in place. I took them out to put the feathers on, and the brim held the shape pretty well while I was working on it. The fancy pins all came from my recent trip to Las Vegas, guady, but great. Hat
Hrothgar Addams Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Wow! what a LID! Now --thats sumpin spectacular--That ain't no hat. That be a work of art! A sorta Pirates of Vegas look. Add that on top of yer frock coat and --well, clear the mantle for more awards! (BTW, is the glade an ingredient or just an accessory? just kiddin') Never give up--Never surrender! Remember -- A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...BUT a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn...that was fun!" Live while yer alive--an' when yore dead be done with it!
Cap'n Mad Eye Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Aye...that be a marvelous hat there Rumba! Definitely be a fine piece of work! :)
Sealegs Constance Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 Rumba lass I love the hat. Great work. :) Sealegs Constance I am what I am
Rumba Rue Posted June 24, 2005 Author Posted June 24, 2005 Thank you all. I had a really hard time trying to decide what to do with the hat. It sat around for quite some time (gathering cat hair) while I thought about it. I had just enough of that wide trim left to do the hat with. I'm sure I'll wear it with other garb besides the coat. Oh and getting the cat hair off- (can't figure out how it got on it as it was up and away from them) was a pain in the ass.
Longarm Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 I've decided, after looking at some of your creations for as long as I've been at the pub, if ever I get up enough loot to have an outfit custom made, you dear lady will be my first choice of tailors. I love the smell of gunpowder in the morning. To me it smells like....PIRACY!
Katerine_La_Rose_Noire Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Be a most impressive hat! Job well done!
Black Syren Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Aye Im thinking of splurging on a hat blank myself..Im unsure what to use for trim and decoration but yours is truly a most exquisite piece.

Patrick Hand Posted June 28, 2005 Posted June 28, 2005 Aye Im thinking of splurging on a hat blank myself ..... but the hat blank only cost about $15.00...... it's the trim and time that will cost you...... (I hope that typed out right....... )
