Doily-Cloche

Another boring, mass-produced hat, I found in a second hand store. It had a 1970s style, but I liked the damped shade of rosewood and the felt was of a better quality, so reshaping was worth it. I carried my loot home, removed hat band and decoration and stretched it over a genuine 1920s hat block. The original decoration, a small feld-band was reused, I just made a decorative knot and fixed it to the hat again. Front decoration is now a dyed bobbin doily!

So, if you don´t know what to do with one of those nice little  bobbin “dust-traps”, here´s a possibility: Make it a hat-decoration!
