Pirate hat.
My granddaughter wanted a pirate hat. I had a wool felt cone in my millinery stash, steamed and formed the brim, which I left raw. I may have to add a headband to make it fit. Then I digitised a drawing and tried to stitch that directly on the brim, but run into a lot of trouble, so I appliqued the embroidery instead.

I bought the materials for hat making either as cloches or capelines. But since embroidery has overtaken a lot of millenary materials and all head and brimblocks are hiding in a cupboard.

As I started embroidering on the brim it still shows at the back, but I astened the brimto the crown with a few stitches.
No patch for the eye yet - don't know wheteher she'd like that.

Thank you. It's a birthday present for the 8th next month - think she will, she's very much into dressing up at the moment.
