I made another cloth hat and took to local shop. I was asked if I could embellish some plain straw type hats. This is what I came up with so far in picture 1 is embellishments. The dragonflies are mine, the butterflies mine, the flowers I am not sure where from. I used mylar on all. Picture 2 is another sewn hat like the one I did about month ago in blue stripes.

86901Fantastic hats.. love all of them and how you made the straw ones do much better than they were... Now the red one you made is in a class all its own... I love the fact that you took the time to figure out the bill.. and the tie in the back....Thanks for the idea and for a site so I don't have to use to much of what I have left in brain power.;-) Thanks again for sharing y our lovely hats.

Well is a deepword, lol. It did come from my head, however to help you out if your not into the compass and measuring. Go to http://www.allfreesewing.com/Acce... If you don't see hat similar then type in the search box Sun Hat once your on their site and it should give you a similar pattern minus the tie part.

I used the shape from ball cap to do the hat the brim was done from measuring the hat top then used a compass and that was something I not done since 7th grade. I had to ask hubby for a quickie refresher course. I now and making come other goodies as I went out bought me a big set of dividers, and a protractor. I saw a hat similar but not mine at http://www.allfreesewing.com/Acce...
18140I like how you embellished the straw hats and the sewn one is a nice design with that open brim. It must be very easy to adjust the width till it fits.

Thank you, the embellish was fun. The sewing one does adjust or can use for pony tail to hang out.
