This weekend was supposed to be all about me trying things for my soon to be Etsy store... In reality it was filled with games and shopping. The shopping was planned and turned out ok. I found lots of pretty brooches and pins for the hats. The gaming was planned, but a lot longer than I had planned...
Sadly the hat is not going well. I designed a pattern that seems just fine, but I can't figure out how to put the hat together. Now I'm concerned that I've done something wrong. Some of the tutorials I've found suggest using bristol board or posterboard for the skeleton. I didn't really want to use that, but it looks like I have no choice at this point. I am hoping to finish the hat tonight, but we will see... I've also had this great idea of using canvas instead of wool. I have to figure out how I would put the hat together. Whether I would stitch the fabric together then put it over the skeleton or do it in pieces.
I find it really helpful to talk about what I'm doing because it actually helps me to see the pros and cons of each side... I think I know what step I will take now. :) Thanks for your help! Or at least thanks for listening to me ramble on!!
In other news I have only an hour left before this serger I'm bidding on ends. :( Sadly I don't foresee winning it, but I am still hopeful!! Along with the hat making tonight I am also planning on finishing up the design for the dress. I hope it goes smoothly. There are a few things I am unsure of, but I will figure those out as a continue working. Speaking of work.... <.< I should get back to it. I will let you all know how the hat goes!!
