The Drunken Hat Attack

Aaaand, following on from my last post and the picture of my plain old white fisherman's hat,




Here it is in all its new glory -




Now, don't be distracted by the wine, which I'm grasping tightly as if my life depended on it. On Thanksgiving weekend I went to a few wineries with my mother, sister and nieces. It was very cold, but of course we had a great time!




It's funny how just taking sips at a wine tasting can leave you feeling tipsy and laughing uncontrollably.




Or maybe I had the bottle opened so I could taste it more easily.




Here are a couple more shots of the hat, something with a little decorum to link up with Hat Attack over at the Style Crone.




I just loosely sewed pieces of that beautiful fabric over the hat, using a slightly gathered piece to go around it, and then some more pieces to fashion a little flower/bow. Because I left the edges frayed and did the whole thing sort of ragged, it wasn't difficult.



Come check out the other hats and fascinators at Style Crone!
