The hat I made for myself!! Remember the
zipper rose I made? It found itself a new home, I think it is perfect for this hat!!
Ooops, sorry about that!! The band is folded under a bit. Hubs isn't fond of taking pictures, so oh, well!!
You know, I wouldn't consider myself a particularly vain person but I have decided that soft-focus is definitely my friend. I am knocking the door on forty this year and next year will be the big 4-0 and I am realizing that my skin is pretty tough looking.
For those who might be interested the pattern is Newlook 6522 and the hat is view B. I think I am going to definitely make more hats. This was so easy and fun and if you wear hats as I do, you realize hats can be spendy (not as spendy as shoes perhaps - but still spendy).

That is awesome! I love it of course it is red AND a hat so of course I love it. :) And I just realized that you are almost exactly the same age as my hubby. His birthday is this next month and he will be 39.
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a LOVELY hat!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could wear hats. But as soon as I try, even in the DEAD of winter, suddenly my scalp feels like it is infested with billions of tiny biting bugs. It isn't, nor has it ever been, but I still cannot stand it.
(no hat now, and my scalp is doing it just because of the thought!)
Ooh, the hat and flower are a match made in heaven - they take each other to another level! So posh yet charmingly boho.
ReplyDeleteThe hat looks perfect! It looks great on you too. Love the color :-)
ReplyDeleteI started a linky party called Small Treasure Tuesdays, you could link this up :-)
Oh it's a PRETTY one! That color is awesome. The rose on the side is ADORABLE. Looking great!!
ReplyDeleteHave a happy evening. xx
Cute hat and the rose is darling too! I have some left over zippers and may try this one day

Great hat! Turned 40 this year and it isn't so bad, actually a pretty great club to be part of :)
ReplyDeleteI love it. It really makes those blue eyes sparkle.
ReplyDeleteBoth hats came out great! I used to love wearing hats, but now since I keep my thinning hair permed, it usually doesn't work out so well. I wish I was knocking on the door of 4-0, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely hat! And that zipper rose is so beautiful. Who would have guessed you can make something so nice out of a zipper!
ReplyDeleteGreat hat! You look fabulous! Love the red and the zipper rose..
ReplyDeleteI can't wear hats, I love them but mostly they just don't look right on me..
Looks great, I love the color (and it looks wonderful on you too!).
ReplyDeleteThe hat is very cute, and you look awesome for almost-40!
