I don't know if I'll ever get around to making my own hats (I need another hobby like I need...), but I thoroughly appreciate yours.

I had absolutely no idea about the steps involved in hatmaking. <BR/><BR/>Last week, I noticed a beautiful white hat with navy trim and feathers at a local store. At $200, it was out of my price range. Perhaps, I should try hatmaking myself.<BR/><BR/>P.S.

Although one straw hat I trimmed sold for $800.00 - not because it was worth it! ( I was asked to make it for the shop I sewed for, to match an outfit) <BR/><BR/>I would love to visit Texas one day and would like to meet you...now I know where and how to find you...I will look for the lady trying all her potential purchases on for size on her head - LOL <BR/><BR/>I really enjoyed your 'how to make a hat' demonstration!

I'll be posting the other four soon, one of them is made just using clothes pins, no block!<BR/>The gelatin doesn't get sticky, in fact I often tune up the brim shape to match my mood by putting it over a stream of stream. It softens, but doesn't get sticky. It is possible to fix the hat with a lacquer product, and I usually do that too, but it really isn't necessary. Ever tried to wipe dried on jello from a surface? It is pretty hard stuff. Since it is just gelatin and no sugar, the substance doesn't want to soften, it takes boiling water and soak time to make it disolve. Some times I even make a thicker mix and brush that on the hat if I want it to be really stiff.Thoughts on Life and Millinery.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826496514403918108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-65084459932563302612007-04-25T09:17:00.000-06:002007-04-25T09:17:00.000-06:00You did this all in one day?

If the hat dampens by rain does the gelatin get sticky<BR/><BR/>The hat is beautiful. <BR/><BR/>Tell Tiggie and Hart that they can come over and join Indee in the feather chase. As you can imagine we have quite a few stray feathers flying around. So far that has been the funnest farm activity for him. They may have more in common than first thought.<BR/><BR/>Thank you again for the hat making tutorial. You make it look so easy.Lovella ♥https://www.blogger.com/profile/13870567090244361779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29053672.post-354063558027628522007-04-25T07:05:00.000-06:002007-04-25T07:05:00.000-06:00That is one gorgeous hat!
