It's National Hat Day!
In honour of this august occasion, you wear a hat.
Here's me doing that with a special one I finished recently.
I'm extra proud of this one, because I also made the blocks on which the steamed felt is molded.
I taught myself, too, using glued, stacked layers of styrofoam sheet insulation, and carving them. Real block makers use wood. Would that I had a wood shop, I would, too.
The blocks performed very well!
Millinery is so much better when power tools enter into it somehow. Or at least setting up the Workmate bench. Preferably both. Can't wait to make more!
Grrrr... (power-tool-using growl)
