Christmas re-fashion

Took a red hat and a green hat from stock, stripped them of prior decorations, and christmas-tized them!
Lucy was nice enuf to model.. But pics did not turn out that good.. Will retake later.

Crochet Pet Hats

Mom has made some 'scumptious' soft and beautiful baby hats (which come with mittens also!), but check out her newest venture into pet hats!  LOVE IT!

Daisy is not happy about this new creation... but note how she made ear holes!  She recently received a request to make this hat for a cat!

HOT!

Very hot today- don't think I will get much sewing done until evening.  ;o(

This weekend I cut out the bright green lame for a small vest, lined with cream satin... Pam is doing a small tutu to match- theme for this costume will be a green fairy.

Sent all tutu sets home with HG this weekend- she will have her daughter model- i am looking forward to seeing the pictures on Monday!

So instead of sewing this weekend, working on the instructional for the pet hat kit.  Will start with the small top hat, and then later a Victorian. The writing outline is done, so next step will be making a hat and taking pictures at each step, and inserting in the doc.  I will need someone to review to determine if I am making the instructions understandable! Volunteers?

Also working on the mailing list this weekend.  NEED to get postcards mailed!
OFF to work on this... adios amigos!

Creating a kit?

Toying with an idea to make available a packaged kit to make a small pet hat, complete with instructions.
One can learn basic millinery techniques, in minuture!

The tiniest hat I have ever made!

Made same method as full size hats! This little  guy sets on my desk... So I couldn't leave him undressed!

Comments invited!

Posting a pic of a new PET HAT design I am working on; I am in LIMBO at this time regarding.
My idea was to do a large brim hat much like a sombrero, but with room for the cat or dog’s ears to pop up. Due to the shape of the cat’s head, ended up with an oval shape. My intent from this step forward was to add a round crown inside the ears, which would be attached only at the front/ back of the brim.
GOOD thing about the design-actually sits on the cats head (until he flips upside down!)! The execution is difficult- mainly on how to cover/ finish the hat!
ANY comments or critique would be appreciated!

Thank you android ap!

Can post to blogger via android application!  Wow!  so easy, and look.. can attach a pic!
This is BLAZE with my newest short top-hat!
